You have all the potential to create the life you want,

but without the right habits.

It's virtually impossible.

Between work, trying to stay healthy,

keeping up with friends, and actually making time for yourself,

it's easy to feel like you're getting through the day instead of thriving.

But becoming that woman, the best version of yourself,

the one who feels put together,

energized, and in control, doesn't happen by accident.

It's about small daily habits that make a huge difference and today I'm sharing mine with the science to back it.

Hello, if you are new here then my name's Faye,

I'm a medical doctor living and working in London and if there's anyone who's struggled to get it together, it's me.

No one warns you that adulthood is basically 80% work and if you're not careful,

life just starts happening to you.

You blink and suddenly your day's off,

those precious moments that are actually yours are gone before you've even had a chance to breathe.

For so long I felt like becoming the best version of myself was too confusing

and just wasn't on the cards for me.

Till I figured this out.

My day off routine that keeps me productive,

balanced and actually feeling like her.

So if that sounds like a bit of you then hit subscribe

so you never miss a video and let's get into it.

Part one.

What

if I told you you didn't have to spend your precious

free time scrambling to catch up on everything emails appointments

and endless to-do lists only to end the day feeling like

you hadn't accomplished anything to go towards your long-term vision of what you want your life to look like

that lingering overwhelm is a common trap

and without structure time really does fly by this was me

until i ensured the first part of my routine after fueling my body with good nutritious food is to prioritize

and plan and do not be mistaken this is not just your run-of-the-mill daily to-do list.

This is a simple yet transformative habit that clears the mental clutter and gives me control over my day.

First, I begin with a brain dump.

I journal every thought, task and worry that's cluttering my mind.

Research in cognitive psychology shows that this kind of externalisation reduces mental load and decision fatigue,

allowing your brain to relax and focus better later on.

It's like clearing up the clutter on your laptop to free up storage.

Once I've emptied my mind onto paper,

I organise everything using the Eisenhower Matrix,

a method that divides tasks into four quadrants.

What's urgent and important, important but not urgent,

urgent but not important, and not important and not urgent.

I determine what is important based on my goals at the time.

So in medical school, this was doing well enough in my exams

so that I could get a job as a doctor in London.

Whereas now I have reached that goal,

obviously what's most important to me has shifted.

This structured approach doesn't just create order out of chaos.

Studies have shown that using planning tools like this can reduce decision fatigue by up to 30%,

which means you save mental energy for what truly matters.

And the payoff is fabulous.

With a clear plan in place,

my day feels intentional and we're ready for part two of my routine.

When I started working as a doctor,

I used to think I did not have time to exercise

and it took me way too long to realise I do not have time to not exercise.

Research shows that exercise significantly boosts cognitive function,

aka your brain power, by increasing the release of brain-derived neurotrophic factor BDNF and if BDNF is new to you,

then it is a protein that supports the growth and survival of neurons,

aka brain cells, which means better memory,

sharper focus and improved mood.

Other studies have confirmed that increased BDNF is associated with improved executive functioning,

planning and decision making, which are critical when you're balancing a busy schedule.

In other words, a simple run in the morning doesn't just wake you up,

it primes your brain for success throughout the day and ultimately your life.

So far my routine hasn't really screamed day off,

which is why part three is so important.

When Monday through to Friday hits me hard,

I barely have the energy to think about my appearance.

I dedicate a portion of my day off to a streamlined pamper and prep routine.

I start by dry brushing my skin from the toes upwards for increased blood flow and to promote lymphatic drainage.

Then I wash my hair starting off with a anti-dandruff shampoo

because research suggests it can promote hair growth even if you don't have dandruff.

I've been on a very long journey with my hair health so

if you would like me to break down all the evidence-based

steps I've taken to grow it then please let me know in the comments.

I then wrap my hair in a t-shirt rather than a towel to reduce breakage and I use my salicylic acid toner.

This version is Superdrug and is a dupe for the much more expensive Paula's Choice version.

I use this max three times a week to reduce the appearance of blackheads.

Then it's time to moisturise with this hyaluronic acid moisturiser.

Again from Superdrug, this range has so many affordable evidence-based products that I would highly recommend.

I have a detailed video on my science-backed doctor-approved feminine hygiene routine linked here

but if you want me to do a video specifically on any research-backed blow-up tips

and tricks then also please let me know in the comments.

On my days off I also like to do a proper blow dry using my Dyson Airwrap

that I can usually make last a few days

and you'll never believe what happened

when I intentionally decided to switch from watching Love Island while I did this to taking it as an opportunity to learn,

which neatly brings us on to part four.

Studies have shown that engaging in continuous learning can boost cognitive flexibility and promote neuroplasticity,

essentially rewiring your brain to become more resilient and innovative.

But it also helps me break the cycle of passive consumption and build a healthier,

more proactive mindset.

Right now, I'm taking the Skillshare class,

Creative Confidence, Overcoming the Critical Voice.

And it's not only been transformative,

but the perfect accompaniment to my day off pampering.

100

Skillshare is my secret weapon when it comes to levelling up in any area.

101

If you've never heard of Skillshare,

102

then Skillshare is the largest online learning community for creatives with

103

thousands of creative classes in countless categories ranging from beginner to advanced,

104

but the best bit, they're from experts in their fields.

105

In this class, you learn tools to silence your inner critic so you have more power over your mind and thoughts,

106

giving you the freedom to be more creative,

107

challenge ideas and do what you really want to do.

108

It's like giving your mind a power up

109

and it really does make a difference in how you approach challenges throughout the day and ultimately through your life.

110

And if you would like to access thousands of these classes completely for free,

111

then because Skillshare are kindly sponsoring this video,

112

the first 500 people to use the link in my description will get a one month free trial of Skillshare.

113

Trust me, this is one of the switches in my life that has made the biggest difference.

114

So by clicking the link,

115

your future self will thank you.

116

Now part five.

117

Here's why choosing matcha over coffee,

118

especially on your day off,

119

may be the smartest move you make.

120

Now don't get me wrong,

121

I adore a good cup of coffee,

122

but on my day off I always reach for a matcha instead.

123

Here's why.

124

Matcha isn't just about a caffeine boost,

125

it comes loaded with L-theanine,

126

an amino acid that works hand in hand with caffeine to promote a state of calm, focused alertness.

127

Studies have shown that L-theanine can reduce the jitters and sudden energy crashes associated with coffee,

128

helping you maintain a steady concentration without sacrificing that relaxed, day-off vibe.

129

My favourite matcha at the moment is this brand that I will link down below.

130

In this cinnamon flavour, Dylan bought me a couple of different flavours to try out.

131

The vanilla is also really,

132

really, really good and I would highly recommend.

133

And after my mindful matcha moment,

134

I headed off for a ridiculously exciting meeting,

135

which honestly gives me so much anxiety every single year.

136

So on the way, I took the opportunity to do probably the most important part of my day off routine.

137

Part six, my midday reset.

138

This is how I finally cracked the code for defeating a midday energy dip.

139

The moment I feel my attention waning or if I start to feel anxious or stressed about a particular moment,

140

I don't just push through, I pause.

141

Research shows that even brief sessions of mindfulness can significantly improve attention,

142

reduce mind wandering and lower stress levels.

143

In fact, even short bouts of meditation are effective at reducing cortisol,

144

the stress hormone that can impair cognitive function and can enhance activation in the prefrontal cortex,

145

which is essential for maintaining focus and executive control.

146

Just five minutes of meditation means my heart rate was lowered

147

and I could focus infinitely better in my lunchtime meeting and really taking all the exciting opportunities that were being discussed.

148

So I just had my annual vision planning session.

149

Last year when we had this exact same session was

150

when it was suggested to me

151

that maybe I should change my name on social media to Dr. Faye Bate instead of just Faye Bate

152

and I basically had this visceral reaction of repulsion at the thought of adding doctor into my name.

153

Quite honestly it made me feel violently ill.

154

The first things

155

that came into my head were everyone at work is going to think who the hell does she think she is,

156

she's only an F1,

157

she's just a silly little girl posting silly little videos on

158

the internet who of course she needs the entire world to know

159

that she's a doctor

160

and it actually took quite a few months of reflection to think about really why I had

161

that visceral repulsion around using a title I spent five years to earn

162

and have been a working doctor for the past two years and until

163

that point I kind of thought I'd mastered imposter syndrome I

164

felt as though I'd recognized the importance of imposter syndrome existing as a tool of self-reflection

165

but not letting it limit me and then

166

when I really thought about why I really did not want

167

to put doctor in my name the crux of it was imposter syndrome I felt like I don't deserve it

168

so anyway today in this meeting I had some of the same visceral repulsion

169

and these reactions were to the most crazy opportunities I've heard in my entire life there was

170

so many points in this meeting today where i honestly just

171

felt like i wanted to burst into tears i was like

172

how the hell how is this my life I might have to bleep these out

173

but wanting me to host but I'm so grateful

174

that this time around when I felt

175

that visceral repulsion to all these really really really good cool

176

things I didn't feel like I deserved I was able to recognize Faye

177

that is not the voice in your head

178

that you want to be listening to the voice in your head

179

that you want to be listening to is okay why do

180

we feel like we don't deserve these opportunities is it

181

because we have skills that we want to develop

182

that we want to work on that we can do

183

or is it because we just don't think that we're worthy of

184

that and if it's the latter then let's just put

185

that in the bin right now because that is not the attitude

186

that we're bringing into 2025 the attitude we're bringing into 2025 is either we deserve it

187

and brilliant or we can work for it

188

and we can build up the skills that mean

189

that we deserve it but there were

190

so many points today where i was just like this life

191

is not meant for me how on earth am i in this situation

192

and what if i take these opportunities

193

and i make an absolute twat out of myself

194

because i'm not worthy of them i'm going to keep this in the vlog

195

but i just want to talk about it for my own memories um but today

196

with so many exciting opportunities underway then i had even more motivation to get my filming done

197

that afternoon because there is nothing worse than having content to film when i get back from a busy draining shift.

198

After a final push to finish my biggest tasks,

199

it's time for part seven.

200

When I shut down, I learned the hard way that evenings off don't need to be filled with anxiety and low self-esteem,

201

thinking about what I should have got done.

202

Since I tackled my most important tasks earlier on in the day using the Eisenhower matrix,

203

I can actually flip a switch later on in the evening and allow my brain time to decompress after a busy day.

204

Research suggests that establishing firm work boundaries and disengaging from work-related thoughts in the evening can significantly reduce stress and rumination.

205

This can regulate cortisol levels and promote better sleep quality,

206

critical factors for maintaining overall well-being.

207

But part A is the one step in my routine that really made the most difference in my life,

208

making sure the evening includes quality, time.

209

Whether it's watching something together or just talking,

210

I make sure that I am present.

211

Not only does it feel good,

212

but studies show that meaningful social interactions can reduce stress hormones and boost oxytocin,

213

also known as the love hormone.

214

Now not only will this increase happiness,

215

but could actually also boost cognitive function.

216

Quality time is more than just downtime,

217

it's my way of reconnecting with what matters most

218

because honestly what is even the point in working so hard

219

if you don't have time to be fully present with the people who matter most?

220

Now you know my go-to routine for feeling balanced

221

and productive on my days off

222

but maybe you want to learn about the micro habits

223

that set me up for success even with a busy schedule

224

or maybe you want to watch this video which has been specifically recommended just for you based on what you're interested in.

225

Thank you so much for watching.
