Hey! You always know you best! Please take with you from this video what resonates and leave what doesn’t. Some of what I share will not be appropriate for your situation. While I try to be thoughtful as I put together my content, nothing I share should be considered professional advice.

Thank you for this video! As someone who is completely burnt out right now, I need the smallest self care additions to integrate into my day. A whole new routine is too overwhelming!

[LeeLeeopard]

Something is better than nothing is a great philosophy 👌 “Done is better than perfect” is my favourite quote and such a game changer 💕

[charisbedderson]

You're almost single-handedly helping me create the life I want, I can honestly feel such a difference in my lived experience these days. Thank you so much for these videos (and also for introducing me to notion last year- as a uni student, it totally changed my life!) You're such an inspiration, I literally can't thank you enough.

[lameperson]

This video is really helpful. I'm trying to recover from depression and meeting yourself where you're at is like the best mindset ever

[mitchmd]

As a “lazy girl since birth”, YES to all of these! I’ve been doing most of these to survive and thrive but you’ve added some nuggets that are actually gold! Thanks again! 😃🙌🏻

[leahhatcher]

I didnt know non-sleep deep rest is like an actual thing!! naps kinda mess with me but I have found that when I go down for a nap but dont actually fall asleep is like more effective! im going to look more into

[alinabelousova]

From being a productivity junky I am trying to learn to live more slowly: live in the moment, enjoy/savor it and I feel like I need to do more of the self-care routines. Thank you for this video. Maybe you could do a video on slow living as well?

[irene]

Thanks for this video Michelle. I need it, because I'm studying a lot even if it's a holiday. I hope that everyone will relax at least a bit these days. Sending you positive vibes!💚😇💙

[creatornoir]

Thank you for the tidying information! I have to clean my whole house today and I’m absolutely dreading it. One thing at a time is something that I can do.

[jessprincess]

Just the video I needed today! Thank you Michelle ❤️

[SarahAnn]

Stopped watching YouTube for I don’t remember what reason but was so happy to see one of your videos when I opened the app! ❤️ love your content. Working on living it ❤️

Muchelle, based on your recent morning routine video idea about turning on the lights in the morning, I set Alexa to turn on my bedside lamp 5 minutes after my alarm goes off at 5.45am. That has been so helpful in Getting Me Out of Bed! The dark has always been the stumbling block. But with the light on, it is much easier to go ahead, throw back the covers, and Get Up. Thanks you so much! Love your channel. You have given me so many great ideas about living intentionally. My life is changed for the better.

Girl, I've followed you for year's now. You like literally always post some of the highest quality content with things that aren't like common sense and regugitated often.. Thank you for working so hard on this channel, I come back to it time and time again. Your content is the BEST!! ✨🤍

[michellebeno]

I meditate almost every night before bed. I almost always fall asleep. I find it so relaxing to take those 5-10 minutes to myself to clear my thoughts! I've been doing it for YEARS! 10/10 recommend.

[happytrees]

Your videos have helped me so much over the years. From getting out of the most depressive episode/lowest point of my life, to now just keeping myself on top of things, your videos have been there to help ❤️ Thank you.

[loytoco]

I write my own affirmations, I agree they should be something that resonate with how you express yourself. I could not do it in the car, though, because my brain goes into deep relaxation by default as soon as I start saying my affirmations, which would make the car drive unsafe. Something to consider, since I assume I am not the only one to whom that happens.
I truly appreciate your content. I found your videos a couple of days ago and already got a lot out of them. Thank you.

[milomazli]

Omg I love this! ❤️ Totally here for it! 🙏🙏🙏💋❤️ Thank you georgeous!

[keric]

I love that you mentioned laying down workouts. I am a wheelchair user so I always look for “sitting exercises” on YouTube. Super random but I love your light switches haha!

[swededreams]

Thank you, Michelle! I appreciate that your advice is always actionable and practical. Your concepts such as doing things for your future self have been really helpful for me! ❤❤

[dawnkulan]

The timing couldn’t be more perfect Michelle ☺️
