Lately and in the past few years as well I've been paying closer attention to the subtle signs

and inner nudges maybe gut feelings tension I'm carrying things

that drain me or inspire me and slowly

that awareness became action today I'm sharing some of the simple daily health habits

that have reshaped how I live

and more importantly how I feel this is a work in progress for me

but something that I've been striving to do is challenging myself to just get started,

to take a tiny step toward something that matters to me, a goal, a change I want to make,

something that I've been meaning to do that I keep putting off, even just like a simple task, even if it feels like I'm not fully ready.

Even just a tiny bit is sometimes all I need to give me a little pep in my step

and build that momentum.

There's this trap that we fall into where we wait for the perfect time to begin.

Monday, next month, when life settles down, when we feel motivated.

But the truth is that that perfect moment is really hard to come by.

And what I've learned is that today is just as good a day as any day, usually.

Probably better because today is real and it's here.

We're in it.

Now, I definitely, I don't do this perfectly.

I definitely do not.

I still procrastinate.

I still overthink.

I still put things off until another day or I'll start tomorrow, but I'm so much better at asking myself whenever I feel overwhelmed or stuck,

what is the smallest possible step that I can take today?

Whenever I stop waiting and start starting, suddenly that goal doesn't feel so far away anymore.

Several months ago, I started doing some exercises at home that specifically I enjoyed

doing no strict approach

or forcing myself to move in a certain way just simply listening to what felt good for my body and letting

that be my guide what i did actually was i made

a list of some of my favorite body weight exercises just on a piece of paper um like ones

that actually felt good and

that i i actually kind of enjoyed doing like even like basic squats

and i just i just did those i just did those ones

and it made getting motivated to move my body

so much easier we also recently just got some dumbbells

and I actually like like physically I like the feeling of lifting weights

and strength training I actually it feels good and being aware of

that makes it so much easier for me to choose those types of exercises

that I like I also discovered qigong actually about six months ago

and I loved it so much it's a very slow-paced mindful

but strengthening way to move and kind of connect with your body

but then i stopped exercising over the winter we got sick

so much and i just felt really out of sorts

and out of a good rhythm

but i started to feel this restlessness in my body come springtime

and by starting small and focusing on ways

that i enjoyed moving whether it's at home workouts

or getting out for a long walk or hike

or dancing around my living room and getting some of

that restless energy out it really helped me to to reestablish those good habits again. so so

getting back into a healthy rhythm has been expressed in more ways than just fitness for me recently

but also my more introspective and even spiritual side

which has always ebbed and flowed for me over the years i'm not religious

but one habit i come back to again and again is is simply spending time with nature and taking a few moments, even brief, to be still.

And I'm just talking like approachable, everyday stillness that anyone can access, whether it's being out in my garden, which I love doing.

It's one of my favorite places to be.

Or just sitting and looking up at the trees, watching the trees move.

It's not a formal meditation.

It's more of an opportunity for some quiet contemplation

and just noticing what's right in front of me

and it just helps my mind to slow down in a way that feels small but powerful, you know?

This is my view out our back door here and I absolutely love just sitting here and looking out at the garden, looking out at all the trees back here,

all of the trees around our house

and on our street is one of the things that drew me to this house when we were looking at moving here.

And it's just, it's so peaceful and it's so grounding

and I sometimes will just spend several minutes just sitting here and just looking up at the trees, looking outside. so I

have always been sensitive to caffeine,

which is why I don't drink coffee.

Makes me way too anxious and jittery.

But I do love tea, including black tea, which is caffeinated.

In recent months, I was finding that I was drinking too much tea, too much caffeinated tea.

I just was having more days where I was feeling, you know, a little worked up clearly because of the caffeine

that I was consuming or having trouble sleeping because I was drinking it too late in the day.

And I started to incorporate and enjoy more caffeine-free teas.

I mean, I have so many different kinds of herbal teas, but I really started to just explore some new ones

and have fun with that and include those in my day more than, you know, constantly having caffeine.

And And it's been really helpful to like respect my nervous system a little bit.

I'm really enjoying vanilla rooibos tea lately.

I also found a maple rooibos, which is really nice.

I love teas that I can enjoy with milk, like a creamy, rich, frothy tea.

Let me know in the comments below if you're a tea drinker and what your favorite teas are.

Just like how nature and moments of stillness help me to feel more grounded, journaling is another version of that.

It's how I check in, especially when I'm moving through change or messy feelings or even the good stuff.

But it's one of the few habits that really helps me to stay honest with where I'm at.

I've journaled my whole life ever since I was a little kid.

Sometimes more, sometimes less.

It definitely took a bit of a back burner once I became a mom, I will say.

But recently I've gotten into a groove with it again.

And sometimes it's stream of consciousness writing.

Sometimes it's responding to a prompt or even just like a brain dump,

but most of the time it's a diary style writing where I can just work through what's on my mind.

And it's a practice that's very near and dear to me.

It's quite cathartic for me when I need it the most.

Something that has helped make healthy eating easier for me over the years has been repeating meals.

Not necessarily eating the exact same thing every single day,

but we rotate them kind of using a category framework to make meal planning and cooking easier.

So for example, we always do some kind of pasta during the week, some kind of stir fry, usually something Mexican, kind of like that.

And it just takes the pressure off.

It saves time.

I kind of already have an idea of types of meals

100

that I can write in my meal plan when I'm doing that each week.

101

And it helps me to actually follow through with eating and cooking nourishing food a a lot easier.

102

I used to micromanage every bite,

103

obsessing over clean eating and strict rules and tying my worth to what I ate.

104

And a few years ago, I dropped all of that.

105

And I started exploring things like intuitive eating and evidence-based nutrition,

106

turning nearly everything I once believed about food upside down and completely shifting my relationship with food.

107

I stopped overthinking every single ingredient and I started focusing on how I feel

108

and what my body wants and needs

109

and this shift toward more food freedom changed everything for me including something that I didn't expect.

110

I got so much mental space back.

111

I started to be able to focus on so many other things

112

that life has to offer besides the lectin content of beans or whether or not this cupcake is dairy-free,

113

like all these things that I just spent so much time thinking about but also stressing about.

114

And this is a habit that I practice every day, eating in a way that feels like I am in control of the choices that I'm making,

115

not all of these fear-based rules that dictated my every move in the past.

116

Choosing what to eat based on how I feel.

117

I mean, all kinds of things.

118

You know, my hunger, my cravings,

119

my wants, my needs, as well as tools that help me make cooking easier for me.

120

Even though I don't fixate on ultra clean ingredients all the time like I used to, I still very much care about nutrition,

121

but a less neurotic way, I guess, that I create more balanced meals and it's become pretty second nature for me, whether it's breakfast or lunch or dinner or a snack,

122

or I want potato chips or chocolate is asking myself, hey, what can pair this with to make it more balanced

123

or more satiating or more satisfying with the categories of a balanced plate in mind

124

so carbs non starchy carbs protein fat some flavor too

125

so sometimes that's choosing to pair chocolate with a handful of nuts

126

or adding extra protein to a sandwich or to a smoothie

127

or adding in some extra fiber with mixed veggies or berries or chia seeds into a meal or snack that I'm making.

128

And this makes healthy eating feel so much more sustainable

129

and also so much less restrictive because it's no longer about what I can and cannot eat or should or shouldn't eat,

130

but about letting all foods fit, all the foods that I enjoy fit in my life while also still nourishing myself as well.

131

I want to end off this video by talking about the simple yet very powerful habit of consistency.

132

That's right.

133

There you go.

134

I said it.

135

There are so many examples in my life where I have simply been consistent and many, many examples where I have not.

136

Don't worry.

137

Maybe the action isn't always executed perfectly or with enthusiasm or ease at all times, but it's consistent.

138

I showed up, i did it again and again and

139

that act alone cultivated something meaningful and successful whether it's the meal planning

140

that i do each week or cooking most of our dinners at home breastfeeding my daughter

141

or building my youtube channel from the ground up

142

so many years ago or even something as simple as taking my iron supplements

143

which let me tell you let me tell Hell yeah, it has changed my, I feel like a new person since correcting my iron deficiency.

144

And again, it's not about doing it flawlessly, just doing it enough.

145

And it's also not always about willpower,

146

but the little systems and routines that support you and can help you to carry out an action,

147

even when you're tired or busy or not in the mood for it.

148

Now, again, I am not perfectly consistent with everything.

149

There are definitely habits that I've totally dropped or routines

150

that just went out the window or something I was super into for like three days and never touched again.

151

So it's not about being a robot.

152

It's just about coming back to the things that matter the most to you and showing up for those over time.

153

And even if you did totally drop something that you started, guess what?

154

Today is just as good a day as any other day.

155

Thanks so much for watching guys.

156

I hope that there was at least one little helpful nugget for you in here.

157

These are all things that have absolutely been huge for me in my life.

158

Let me know in the comments below which healthy habits have made the biggest difference for you.

159

I'd love to hear from you and I will see you all in the next one.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
