Speaker 1: Hello you guys, Welcome back to another episode of the
Hawtral Energy Podcast. I'm your host, Kayleie, and this is
your weekly reminder that it's a new day, a new week,
a new mindset, and another day for you to become
the hot grail energy you want to attract. I need
to start off by saying I apologize for this episode
being up a day late. I feel like the podcast
has definitely been something that I can't always make a priority. Unfortunately.
I feel like life has been truly the busiest it's
ever been. Like I feel like I compare my life
now versus like when we were planning the wedding, and yeah, sure,
like planning a wedding was like a lot of work.
But I feel like my life right now has been
the busiest it's ever have And I think I've been
putting a lot of stress on myself with trying to
do everything with obviously being social media my full time job,
like jumping on tiktoks, jumping on Instagram reels, trying to
be as active as I can on YouTube while also
recording an episode on a weekly basis is very tough,
especially when you don't have anyone that's working for you. Like,
I'm obviously a solo kind of gal. I am by
myself doing it all, and I have thought about hiring someone,
but I feel like I'm not there yet. I'd like
to wait a little bit more until I do so. Obviously,
I have a management team that helps me with my job,
offers that I get throughout my social media. But the
point is is that I don't have an editor for
the podcast, I don't have an editor for YouTube anything
like that, so I'm really just doing it myself. So
I apologize if this episode is up a daily But
the point is is that we really need to do
a reset here. Okay, As I said, I have been
feeling very, very overwhelmed. I have been feeling like things
have really just taken a tour earn these past few months,
and I'd rather be real here. I'd rather be real
and honest of like how things are going in my life.
And this is a month where I really promise myself
that I would try my best to reset and just
feel like I can find solutions to the problems that
I'm currently facing. And you know what the reality is
is that we're all going through shit. Okay, We're all
going through something in our life, whether it's small things,
big things, things that we just like want to work out.
And I really wanted to make this episode about things
that I'm currently going through that you could probably relate to,
or things that you can do on your end to
solve your own problems. Just how I'm going to share
these problems that I'm currently going through and the solutions
to how I'm going to solve these problems that I'm
currently going through. So essentially, I've created a shit list
of things that are shit in my life right now
that are bothering me, and I want you to do
the same. I want you to create a shit list
of things that are going on in your life currently
that you're not proud of or things that are bothering you.
And so you're going to look at this shit list
and be like, Okay, I need to work on this, this, this,
this right, And then you're going to create a getting
my shit together list of things that you can do
to help solve those problems that you're currently going through.
And we're going to create a solution. We're going to
create something that's going to make your life feel better
if you tackle this problem that you've been facing right
now in my life, I feel like we've been all
over the map. We have been trying to prepare this
house for move because we are leaving this house obviously
and moving into the new house. We are still designing
the new house, so I've been attending a lot of
meetings with the designers, and there's a lot of like
other people that I have to communicate with. It's not
just the designers, it's the builders, it's the contractors, it's
the manufacturers. Like there's so much communication that I'm trying
to go through with other contractors and all that. So
I'm dealing with that, I'm dealing with trying to prep
this house for moving. I'm obviously trying to prep for
pregnancy with my husband, which has been a whole other subject.
Then obviously managing my job, and then just managing life,
like managing relationships with friends, managing the relationship with your husband,
your family, like trying to like also make that a
priority while still you know, running your job and doing
your job and doing all those other things. So I'm
sure a lot of you are probably facing similar situations
where it's like you feel like you're literally running multiple
things at once and it's like you're feeling so overwhelmed
that you're like, I don't know what to do, Like
you know what I mean. Like that's how I feel
like I'm at in my life right now, where I
feel like there's so much happening all at once that
I'm like it's clearly impossible for me to do it
all at once, but like there is small things that
I can do in my life to make me feel
like I'm just feeling a little bit better about myself,
if that makes sense, And like there's just like many
things that are going on in my life. Like, for examp, sample,
something that I put on my shit list was I'm
extremely behind on my laundry. My laundry room is literally
a shit show right now. Am I proud of it? No,
I've cleaned every other part of this house. I'm talking baseboards,
I'm talking mirrors, windows, you name it. I've done deep
cleans of this entire house and deep cleaning my closets,
you know, under my cabinets, in my sink. But for
some reason, I put all my time and energy in
doing those things versus, oh, maybe I should do a
load of laundry. Maybe I should do a load of laundry,
you know what I mean. Like that's an example of, like,
this is not a big problem, but like it's a
problem that bothers me that I've been ignoring that it's
like I should probably find a solution to this problem
that could maybe help me out in the grand scheme
of things. So that's kind of like an example of
like how I'm going to be sharing my shitless. And
this is a judge free space. Okay, we do not judge.
We do not judge about the things that I'm about
to say, because I'm sure there is stuff that you
may be not proud of right now with yourself that
you want to work on. So that's kind of what
I wanted to do in this episode. It was more
so just to inspire you guys, to you know, write
out a list of things that you might not be
proud of right now or happy with right now that
you want to change and make yourself just feel better
going into the month of May of doing small little
things to maybe help you get out of this problem
that you're currently facing. And that's what I really wanted
it to be about, is that I'm going to share
my examples of things that are on my shit list.
I'm going to share examples of how I'm going to
create solutions to these problems, and we're going to do
it together. Here is my shit list, again a judge
free space. We do not judge. Anything that's on this list.
Firstly is my laundry. I need to get my shit
together and figure that out. I feel like I literally
will just wash my socks and underwears and you know,
my workout clothes when I need it, and that's about it.
There are so many other things that I'm like, towels,
things that I wear on a daily basis, like we
just we need to clean that. So I think I've
just been making everything else a priority that needs to
be cleaned in this house and not the most important thing,
which is clothes that I wear on my body, which
is obviously important. So I need to figure out a
plan of how I'm going to get this laundry room
back to its original state and also just like make
it a priority to get laundry done. Another thing that's
on my shit list is that I have a very
bad night routine right now. And this is something that
I've been currently working on a night routine for myself
is definitely the top priority for me right now, because oh,
I've barely been getting sleep at night. I have been
waking up extremely anxious, overthinking, just like I don't know,
I wake up and I just like feel wired. I
almost feel like I'm constantly thinking of random things, like
why am I thinking about this one thing in the
middle of the night, And then oh, I can't sleep
for hours, and then it's six o'clock and I have
to go to a pilates class, Like I am purposely
like creating this anxiety for myself for no reason, and
I'm overthinking about these things that I shouldn't have to
overthink about in the middle of the night. So I
need to work on a night routine for myself. Scrolling
on my phone. You know, I'm addicted to my phone.
I think we all have a slight addiction to our
cell phone. And obviously I love scrolling, and it's part
of my job, obviously is to be scrolling on social media.
But I do think I'm consuming it probably too much,
and doing that before ben is probably the worst thing
you can do, especially for your sleeping, because I feel
like I have a hard time falling asleep and being
on my phone and scrolling is probably not helping the situation.
So working on a night routine is something that I'm
currently working on, and I'm going to share with you
guys things that I've been doing these past few days
of just like trying to have a better night routine
for myself. Another thing on my shit list is I've
been drifting away from my friends, not purposely, just accidentally.
As I said, I feel like there's been so much
going on in my life right now that I've been
having a hard time making my family a priority, making
my friendships a priority, not reaching out. We're texting people saying, hey,
you want to go for a walk, you want to
go get a coffee, Like I feel like I'm constantly
texting maybe my sister and my husband and my parents,
and that's basically it. I barely even see my parents
at this point. So I'm like, I need to make
an effort this month of getting my connections back with
my friends and my family, because I feel like you
don't realize how important that is until you feel like
you've been disconnected with those people, and then you're like,
oh shit, wait, I need to make that a priority.
I need to get back out there I need to
text my friends and like see them again and like
connect with them. So that's one thing that I feel
like I've been lacking at is just like not making
my friendships a priority and just like feeling disconnected from
them because I feel like I've just been consuming other
things and not making my friendships a priority. Another one
is feeling I'm inspired. I feel like I've been in
this rut with like creating content, but also just like
I don't know, like in my life, I'm not feeling
inspired by things, and I think that is something that
some people go through, and we're going to talk about
how we're gonna feel inspired again and doing thing things
that could really help make yourself feel inspired again. I'm
feeling stuck. I think that's another thing that's really common
for people. I feel like I like know what I
want as like my big goals. But I think the
point is is that we're supposed to create smaller goals,
which we always talk about here on the podcast, but
like smaller goals that will like make you feel really
good each week each day, and not just focusing on
like that big goal that we have to achieve, and
like also making slight changes in your day to day life.
So that is something that I feel like I'm going through.
I feel like I've been like living the same life
of obviously like doing the same things and going to
Pilate's and going on my walks, and like I love it.
I do love it, but like I do also think
that might be a sign of like, Okay, what can
I change to like reinspire myself but also like make
me feel less stuck, right, So kind of changing things
up in your day day life could be a huge
help as well. Another thing on my shit list is
overthinking everything and just feeling anxious kind of goes hand
in hand with my bad night routine. I'm trying to
find ways to, you know, not make me feel as anxious.
Anxiety is so freakin' real, and I'm so frickin' there
with you if you're currently going through it. The last
thing I want is to be on medication. I don't
want to have to do that, but if I have to,
I will maybe do it. I don't know. I'm just
like I'm not thinking medication yet because I'm like, you know,
I haven't done these little things that could really help
with my anxiety. So I'm doing everything I can to
work on my mental health and find ways to like
ease it by taking action instead of just resorting to medication. Right,
we never want to just like resort to that. So
really not loving that phase of my life of just
overthinking things and being overly anxious. But hey, it's the reality,
and that's what I'm currently going through. Not dressing up
for myself anymore. I feel like I'm constantly wearing sweatpants
twenty four to seven or active wear, and I'm like, Kayleie,
you used to love dressing up and styling yourself and
like going shopping buying things that like make you feel good.
And I feel like I've just dropped the ball on
that completely and just like haven't found the love for
fashion anymore, which is like kind of upsetting for me
because I feel like I always used to love like
styling my outfits for the day and like dressing up
for myself even if I wasn't going anywhere, I like
wanted to make sure I put a cute outfit on
for myself because I feel like it also like boosts
your confidence, which obviously we don't want to lack confidence.
That sucks, right, So I'm just in this phase where
I'm like, I need to reevaluate my efforts of putting
like effort in myself essentially, like I need to find
that energy and love again of like dressing for myself
and like feeling good about myself. So like wearing sweats
has just not been the vibe, Okay, I need to
change that. I need to stop wearing sweatpants all the
time or active wear and actually dress cute and feel
good about myself. And then the last one on my
shit list is running late. I tend to run late
to appointments or meetings and and I feel like this
is something that I really wanted to improve on this year.
And don't get me wrong, I feel like there's been
months where I've been really good or there's been months
where I'd been really bad. So I'm like, we just
need to find a better game plan and honestly, just
a better solution to this issue that just keeps coming back.
So that is definitely something that I've been shit at
and I need to work on this month. So that's
my shit list. That's everything that I can think of
right now that I'm currently feeling unhappy with in my
life that I'm like we need to figure out how
we're going to solve these many problems, cause they're not
big problems. I'm sure if you wrote a list down
right now of all the little things that have been
bothering you, whether it's like things that bother you with
your job, or things that bother you in your home,
or things that bother you in your routine, Like when
you actually write them down, it's like, Okay, it's not
that bad, but like, we can figure out a solution
to this, Like we can figure out how to problem
solve and make this not be a problem anymore and
make yourself feel better about this situation. Let's talk about
my getting our Shit together list. So these are things
that I just talked about, and these are going to
be the solutions that I'm going to have to these problems.
So one of them being feeling disconnected. I talked about
how I feel like I've been super distanced with my friends.
I feel disconnected. I feel like, you know, I haven't
made the effort of seeing them. So now I'm going
to be taking the effort this month of reaching out
to one person each week, planning something small, like it
could be going on a walk, it could be going
on a coffee date. It could be going on a
dinner date. I've actually already done a really good job
at this to the point where I will literally put
texts my friend Alyssa to plan a walk date next week,
so that's on my to do list. I literally will
text her be like, hey, how are you. We need
to catch up one e free next week, Let's go
on a walk. I ended up seeing her yesterday. We
had a great catch up. It was so nice to
see her. Felt so connected. She texted me after saying,
I'm so happy you texted me. I'm so happy we
connected again. I felt really good about having that date
with her because it felt like it was a great
way to catch up. It was a great way to
see her. I felt again connected with her because I
reached out to her and wanted to see her. Not
only that, I've actually seen three of my other friends
last week and then this week as well, So within
these what six days of May that we've been in,
I've already seen four of my friends. So I have
actually made the effort of reaching out planning something, like
I said, something just as small as a coffee date
or a walk or even just chilling with your friend
in her kids playroom and playing with her kids and
entertaining herself that way while catching up. I am not
picky about what we do. I really just like want
to get together and chat and yeah, just connect again.
So that's been a really big goal for me, and
I think just making the effort of even like as
I said, adding it to your to do list, of
saying you want to text this person or call this
person to plan something makes yourself feel so good and
you're again already feeling connected by reaching out and planning something.
Another thing is phone addiction. So obviously I've mentioned that
I've been on my phone constantly, especially before bed, which
is probably the worst time to go on your phone,
is before you fall asleep. Like I'm consuming stuff that
I just probably shouldn't be consuming before bed. So I've
been making it a non negotiable to not be on
my phone thirty minutes before bed. I've actually started to
put my phone in an area in my bedroom where
I don't feel the urge to grab it, so I
actually have it, like in the far corner where we
have obviously an outlet that I can charge it, and
I use my hatch alarm clock as my alarm clock,
so I don't need my phone for like my alarm
in the morning, so I don't need it right by
my nightstand or buy me twenty four to seven. So
having it on my dresser in like the corner of
our bedroom has been honestly a game changer because I
don't feel the need to grab it. I'm usually watching
a TV show a Zach But anyways, at the end
of the day, I just I don't feel tempted to
grab it right now, And I think that has been
a really big game changer, is not feeling this urge
to like grab my phone and scroll. So the phone
addiction is real. I think we can all agree that
everybody probably has a slight phone addiction. So finding times
like you know, not going on it for thirty minutes
before bed or waking up in the morning, maybe not
going on it for thirty minutes in the morning when
you want to have your routine and get things done,
Like I feel like in the morning, I'm fine, I
don't ever have this urge to grab my phone and scroll.
I'm usually like turn off my hatch and I have
to get to a workout right, so I book workouts
in the morning. That way, I'm not scrolling aimlessly. Like
I start my day immediately by getting a workout in,
and that's how I kind of start my day, right,
I have my breakfast, go on my walk, whatever the
case I may be, so I don't always feel an
urge to scroll in the morning. My issue is scrolling
at night. So that's why I've been trying to make
a routine for myself to really like limit my screen
time and like focus on doing these things for myself
to help with obviously multiple things like my anxiety and overthinking,
which goes into my conversation of my next problem, which
is overthinking and anxiety. So this kind of goes hand
in hand with my bad night routine, which is what
I've been trying to create, is a good night routine
for myself to hope ease the overthinking and anxiety that
I've currently have been going through. Journaling at night is
something that actually a lot of you guys recommended because
I did post the video about just me and trying
to build a night routine for myself currently, and Zach
also has been pushing me to journal at night and
like brain dump and express how I'm feeling about this
certain situation and express how I'm feeling. So that is
something that I feel like I should do because I
do think that would help a lot. Is just like
brain dumping how I'm feeling, especially before bed. I feel
like I would usually do that in like my notes
in my phone, but again we're trying to avoid being
on a cell phone, so this is why we need
to resort to a journal. So anyways, obviously there's always
things that we can do to improve things that we're
currently going through. So I feel like journaling is something
that I do during the day obviously, and like use
my planner for like any of my day, but I
don't really think about using it at night, So it
might be worth me purchasing a journal that I can
bring dump and like express how I'm feeling, especially before beds.
So before sleeping, I feel like I've gotten everything out
that I'm overthinking. I don't have to think about it.
And so obviously with dealing with this overthinking and anxiety,
I'm also not having the best sleeps. So I've been
really trying to adjust my night routine by adding two
to three new habits to support a more relaxing environment
for myself and just all in all support my sleep
because I just haven't been getting the best sleeps. Some
of you guys said magnesium, which I have been using
the ritual magnesium, which has helped a little bit. I
wouldn't say it's helping fully. I don't know if I
need a higher dosage or not. But one time when
I did a higher dosage up magnesium with a different company,
I had the opposite effect of where I felt more
wired and more awake, and then I couldn't sleep but
all throughout the night. Like I don't really want to
like find something stronger. I'd rather just like stick to
something that works. But I don't know. So the ritual
magnesium has helped a little bit, but like, yeah, I
don't want to go down the road of like trying
something stronger because I've done that before and it's done
literally the complete opposite effect, which I was really shocked
about because I'm like, it can't be the magnesium, Like,
you know, I've never felt wired in the middle of
the night before and till now, and literally my doctor
was like, if you take too much magnesium, like if
you take too strong of a dosage, which I have
done in the past, as I said, it could do
the opposite effect, which I had no idea about. So
that's something I learned. But right now I'm really just
trying to do other things like kim emeal tea before bed.
Hot showers before bed hot showers have actually been the
biggest game changer. Heat for me is like the most
relaxing thing ever. I've also been trying to use my
heating pad on the bed just to like have some
sense of comfort, if that makes sense. I don't need
it for like muscle recovery or anything like that. I'm
really just using the heating pad for enjoyment because I
really find it very relaxing. So anything with heat has
been like a really big game changer just for like
relaxing myself and then just like doing a little form
of self care, whether it's like a face mask, you know, eyepatches,
reading red light therapy mask, like just like finding something
that brings me some like comfort in doing some self
care makes me feel really relaxed, And the whole point
is really just to make my body feel very relaxed
before bed and not feel tense or stress. So that's
kind of like what I'm doing currently. It's definitely a
work in progress. I'm like documenting my experience on TikTok
just because I feel like that's something that I've just
been shitited at lately and I just like need to
work on it. So that's currently what I've been going
through with my night routine. In terms of the laundry problem.
How are we going to solve this? We're going to
be doing loads of laundry. So I've been trying to
do one to two loads every single morning before I
leave for my workout class. So I've made it a
non negotible to wake up, make my bed, you know,
do my skincare, brush, my teeth, get changed, into my
workout clothes. Literally throw whatever color I see, whether it's white, grays, colors,
throw it in the laundry. Do it. Then when I
get home from plates, go upstairs, throw it in the dryer,
eat my breakfast, do whatever, and then I'll quickly fold everything,
put it away, and then I move on with my day.
So my goal right now is to not like do
multiple loads at once and feel overwhelmed. I'm really just
trying to do like one to two loads a day.
So it sounds so funny because it's just like it's laundry,
you know. I think everyone has difficulty keeping up with
their laundry. It's just an annoying task that I personally
don't love. Like Zach is so on top of his
shit with laundry, I'm the complete opposite. It's just something
that I'm not good at, I'll be honest. So that
is something that I'm trying to do this month is
just like make it a little mourning non negotiable and
my morning routine to just get it done. So I'm
hoping that I'll have my laundry done fully this week
because I've been making that a non negotiable. Another thing
that was on my shit list that we're going to
solve is feeling stuck. I think this is a big
one for a lot of people, is just feeling like
maybe every day feels the same, or feeling like you're
just like needing some type of change. And it could
be the smallest thing. It could be changing up something
in your routine, it could be changing up your environment.
I think like forcing yourself to be in a new
space is definitely a good idea. And a new space
meaning like instead of working from home, maybe start working
at coffee shops more, or you know, maybe change your
bedroom furniture around, maybe you know, change the gym that
you're going to. I know, for me, I've been obviously
going to like the same workout studios for a long
period of time. I have been feeling the urge to
not change, but like add something into my routine. Instead
of just like doing pilates multiple times a week, I've
been trying to do strength workouts again. So I've been
doing two strength workouts a week and then two pilates
classes a week, and I've been wanting to look at
getting a gym membership. Right now, I'm just using the
weights at my home, which is fine, but I feel
like because I've worked from home, I need to be
out more and like get out of the house more.
So I've been trying to figure out a gym that
I can get a membership too. I also love Matt Plates,
and I used to do a hot Matt pilates class
a few times a week, but I haven't been wanting
to do the heat of workouts. I've been wanting just
to do like a normal pilates class. And there's a
new pilate studio opening up next month. And Guys, if
I could describe the perfect esthetic for a pilate studio
that you would see on Pinterest, this place is giving
that exact Pinterest vibe, like literally matches my Pinterest board.
So I'm so excited because not only are they doing
matt plates, but they're also doing yoga, which yoga is
another thing that I really want to get into for again,
distressing anxiety, stretch for my back all that. Like everyone's
always like to me, Killy, you need to get into yoga,
And I know, I know I need to get into yoga.
I just don't like any of the yoga studios that
are near me. I've tried literally every single yoga studio
you can think of that are nearby, and I absolutely
hate it. It's just not worth it. And I like convenience.
Like I'm not saying every studio in Ottawa is shit.
I'm just saying that, like I'm not going to travel
forty minutes or thirty five minutes to all the way
downtown to like go to the best studios there and
then drive thirty five minutes home. Like I like the
convenience of being in something that's in close proximity. And yeah,
so I'm really excited about this new place opening up.
I think that's going to make me feel really excited
to try something new, kind of like again branch out
of my routine and try something new for my routine,
and a new environment just kind of feels exciting new change.
So yeah, so it could be like little things like that.
It could also be like, if you've been a gym
girl for a while and you've been kind of like
over just like doing strength workouts, maybe change it up
by doing, like, instead of working out in the gym
like five times a week, maybe do it two times
a week and then the other days try different workout
classes out like maybe try spinning, try pilates, try whatever, right, like,
just try and change it up. So I think that's
something that I'm currently working on. It's kind of changing
up my routine and like making it a little bit
more different by being in new environments. So that's something
that I'm currently working on. My problem of constantly being
in sweatpants, Okay, we're going to actually make the effort
of dressing up once or twice a week by wearing
clothes that make me feel good. And again, it could
be for me wanting to go to a coffee shop.
It could be me working from home. Still, like, I
also feel like I've actually done a really good job
at not buying new clothes for myself. Last week was
the first time I was shopping in like forever, Like
I think I bought two things in Toronto when I
was a zach and that's it. Like literally, I've I
have not boughten myself anything. Like of course I received
pr from brands, which I I truly do appreciate, but
like when it comes to like buying clothes for myself,
like I've done a really good job this year of
not doing so, which I'm not complaining about. I'm actually
proud of myself for doing that. But I do feel
like when a new season comes around, I do feel
like this sudden urge of like wanting to style fun
pieces and like buy fun things for a new season.
So I do think a shopping spree is due. I
did buy a few things last week from Aritzia and
Dynamite that I just wanted for like going out clothes.
So when you know it's someone's birthday or you know
my girlfriends want to go out for dinner, I feel
like I have like two to three good outfits now
where I'm like, these could be like my go to
outfits to wear. I'm also traveling this year to Europe,
so saph and I are going to Portugal in the summer,
so I really want to obviously find cute outfits for that.
So I think I'm just like waiting for things to happen.
But it's like, girl, just buy yourself something nice. Dress
the way you want to dress, and feel good and
feel confident in the things that you want to wear
and not feel ugly and worsewetpam. It's an active war
all the time. Like I just like you need to
branch out and start dressing up more running late for
appointments or meetings. This is something that I actually tried
today for the very first time. I had a appointment
before recording this podcast episode. You guys are going to
see this day, to be honest, because I filmed a
full day in the life today for TikTok and Instagram,
So you guys are going to see everything that's happened
before this, which has just been once again a shit
show of a day. But I had an appointment downtown Ottawa,
and downtown takes some time to get from where I am,
and there's also no parking, so of course I have
to take time to find a parking spot. And there's traffic, right.
So the one thing that I suck at when it
comes to like traveling to places to attend meetings or
appointments is that I think everywhere takes ten to fifteen
minutes to get which is not the reality. It takes
way longer. Like, it takes way longer than that because
you have to take into a affect the traffic or
unexpected you know, things that could happen when you're driving there,
obviously car accidents, whatever, Oh, can't find parking, there's street parking,
there's no parking lot there, So like I've sake all
those things into account. So I literally set a timer
for how long I had to get ready and actually
be out the door in order to make it to
my appointment ten to fifteen minutes early, which is what
I wanted. So I ended up setting a timer, and
let me tell you guys, I got there fifteen minutes early,
which I never get to an appointment fifteen minutes early,
to be fully honest, I usually get there like maybe
two minutes before, or like literally on time or five
minutes late. Like usually that's just my world. I just
like I'm always like running to get to somewhere and
be there within that timeframe. So the fact I was
there fifteen minutes early, I'm going to say the timer worked.
So I'm a timer girl. I'm going to be setting
timers to keep myself on task. I get easily distracted.
I have ADHD. I'm going to be honest here, So
I think having the timer just like makes me walk
in and like I realize, like, Okay, I need to
get all this done before this time, and it just
creates like that motivation and that urgency of like needing
to get shit done before I leave. I have talked
about this in the past too, but like setting timers
for yourself when you're trying to get task done around
the house also really helped. So if you've been feeling
like a lack of motivation or just like there's shit
around the house that you've just been ignoring that you
like you need to get back into. I'm telling you
right now, if you set a timer, you are going
to feel so productive and you're going to see how
much you can actually get done in thirty minutes or
sixty minutes and complete tasks around your house that you've
been avoiding and just feel so much more accomplished. So
I do think that setting timers are a big game
changer for anything. Whether it's like running late for appointments
and you want to keep yourself on track, set a timer,
or if you want to get shit done around the
house and you feel like you need some thing to
keep you motivated or again on task, set a timer
for you to clean and tidy up around your house
and it does wonders. So I'm a timer girl. I
think timers work. So that's a tip for anyone that
feels like they need something to hold themselves accountable for
or just like actually like have the motivation and urge
to get things done. And the last thing that was
on my shit list that I need to improve on
is just feeling inspired again, and I've been feeling uninspired.
I've been feeling stuck. I've been feeling like I just
like need to change up my environment or just like
do something different. Right. So it's hard for me specifically
because you know, some of these things that I feel
like help for me, which is like you know, rearranging
my space. So like last year, I feel like I
flipped my entire bedroom around, which I feel like really
helped it. I felt really inspired when we changed my
bedroom around, and then I changed it back this year.
But I've been wanting to change up like spaces in
my head. But financially, that's really stupid of me because
I'm moving, like I'm literally leaving this house in four months.
So I think for me, I'm like obviously being impatient
and I just like want to move into my new
house because i know I'm going to feel so inspired again,
so excited. It's a new space, you know, it's change.
It's a house that like obviously like we put so
much love and energy towards that we are just so
excited for. But I think I'm feeling uninspired almost because
of that, where it's like I know that I have
this new house coming that I'm feeling uninspired in my
space that I currently am in, where i feel like
I'm like not really putting any effort into it because
I'm putting so much effort into the next, the next thing,
the next best thing, right, So I feel like I'm
starting to outgrow this place. And as much as I
love it, and like I do still think it's such
a beautiful house, Like I love my house. It's just
the point is is that I feel like I'm just
ready for the next I'm ready for the next step
of my life, and I feel like I'm just like waiting,
you know, I'm just like sitting here waiting and like
wanting to just go into it. And so I think
my energy right now is just chasing something new. I
can just feel that I'm craving change and I just
like really want to start this new chapter in her
life of like being in this new house. And I
don't know, I think that's okay to feel that way.
I know there's small things that I can do, like
changing up my routine, And if you have the luxury
of like changing up your bedroom or changing up your
home to make yourself feel inspired, I highly recommend doing so.
Like I just can't right now because it doesn't make
sense for me to do that, but if you can
do that, I do find it actually really helps. Like
me changing my bedroom last year was like such a
nice refreshing feeling and just like a really nice change
that I felt like I wanted for so long, and
I felt really inspired again. After doing that, So I
don't know, those little things do actually make a huge difference.
But yeah, right now I'm just like craving change and
I'm creating my new chapter. Also side note, this kind
of goes with the phone addiction one where obviously I
need to stop scrolling at night and I've been trying
to not go on my phone for thirty minutes and
also put my phone in an area where I won't
grab it. But I talked about reading a little bit,
but like, reading for me is something that I really
want to make a goal this year and this summer alone,
because I feel like it stimulates your mind. It's something
to consume that's probably better than just consuming random videos
and content on social media. So I'm trying to be
better at picking up a book and reading for scrolling,
and I don't know, I just think it's way more
beneficial to do that first scrolling on my phone. So anyways,
that is my shit list and the things that I'm
doing to get myself back on track and solve those
problems of getting my shit together. I really wanted to
create this episode just because I really wanted to inspire
you guys to create yourself your own shit list and
finding ways to solve your problems of getting your shit
together again by yeah, problem solving and finding ways to
find solutions to your problems. So that's kind of like
what I wanted to make this episode about. Obviously, we're
in a new month, we're so close to a new season.
I really just wanted to make this episode about you
resetting and finding yourself again, going into this new month
and just finding the motivation and inspiration again. So I
