10 Daily Habits I'm Trying to Break ... but obvi not coffee guys come on

[@chiknlittle]

Whenever my husband and I are doing nothing, we call it existing. Like well say “I’m going to just exist today”. It makes me feel like existing is still important, certainly sounds better than “doing nothing”. May be silly but hey, whatever works! 😬

[@carriemeadows3518]

Taylor, I like that! Totally saying that to my husband. ☺️

[@breannag9066]

Love this!

[@jocelynsloan7801]

I like that. Some days you just need to rest!

[@stormeestewart3610]

Needed this! I’m going to start saying that!

[@angelli1564]

Oh that’s a really sweet way to name it. Def reminding myself next time when I m anxious about chilling.

[@kateo3209]

Saw this little saying a couple months ago..."The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time" ❤️

[@subboxjunkie8298]

I like that !

[@kels2957]

I love that!!

Hahahah same as 😂😂

[@elledee3865]

I remember you mentioning some time ago that you started making your bed and it was making your days better. I started doing that and it weirdly helps my anxiety for some reason. It's like it puts a cap on my sleep time and gives me permission to start my day. So thanks for the gentle reminder!

[@sherrimiller5951]

I saw this video some years ago, and it made such an impact. A made bed starts your day off right. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaSuZKqAdt16nNU

[@Sotheavy]

My tip for instantly waking up in the morning is eyedrops. I keep rewetting drops on the nightstand and have found that a single drop in each eye when the alarm goes off is a game changer-the alertness is instant. It also feels nice for dry eyes. 😎

[@mabelvonsmolcat]

I do that right after turning on my computer for work. Helps me get into "work mode"

[@Kfbecca]

This is such a good tip! I discovered that often times when I thought I was dead tired, actually my eyes were just tired and I needed to wear my glasses more throughout the day. Game changer.

[@rachelwinberry1271]

That’s a fantastic idea!

[@caitmcg4382]

My favorite tip for not procrastinating on little tasks is a sort of mantra/reminder: If it takes less than a minute, it's worth doing now. Here's an example: if I notice the towels in my bathroom aren't folded how I like them, I know that that will take *seconds* to do and will reward me instantly with a nicer looking space, so I just do it immediately, no matter what else is going on or if I'm in the middle of something. If a task seems borderline on if it'll take over a minute, I count the seconds as I do the task to see if it does take longer. If it does, I know going forward that that task can take longer than I expect, and if I finish it in under a minute I know I can remember for next time that it's a quicker task than I expect. Also I nearly always finish whatever it was in under a minute. My *other* favorite anti-procrastination method is changing when I define a task as "done". This works in two ways, the "that's done well enough", to keep my perfectionism at bay, and "that's not done yet" as in there are more steps to the process still. For example: I'll bring groceries home, get them out of the car and into the kitchen. For me it's not two tasks of "Bring groceries inside" and "Put groceries away", it's "Bringing groceries home isn't done until I've put them away". Not sure I've explained these very well but they work for me and I really like them!

[@allisonbuettner3934]

About the phone: read the book “How to Break Up With Your Phone.” It’s written by a woman with kids so it’s actually realistic and relatable! I’m working on reducing my phone use as well. The phone goes off at 10pm but I need to use it even less before that. My husband doesn’t have issues with using his phone and isn’t addicted, so if there’s a true emergency someone can reach us via his phone. He doesn’t turn it off at night. We have all notifications turned off except phone calls so there’s nothing bothering us.

[@sabrinacastellanos]

I’ve been a very chatty cathy my whole life and recently got diagnosed with adhd. I’m trying to be more mindful about how I share myself in conversation, without talking right over the other person. Journaling little thoughts “dear diary” style has really helped me get a lot of my excitement out so I can be a better listener and ask better questions.

[@juliedixon336]

I do journaling on my phone with the app it’s helped me so much.

[@emilyzahrt7503]

I haven't been diagnosed with ADHD(tho I probably have it tbh) but I do the same thing in conversations and it's something I'm working on changing. I once had my partner tell me that I didn't really listen to others when talking to them and that's really helped me to see it from a different angle and work on it.

[@7w1nkle]

Couple of things that helped me - 1. The Calm app. This has been a revelation. I love the soundscapes for helping to fall asleep, and if I wake up in the night, instead of mindlessly scrolling I choose a soundscape (rain on trees is my fave) and it quietens my mind. The app can also give you “time to go to bed” prompts. 2. I have a rule that if a task takes less than 15 mins, do it now, don’t put it off. when you think of it as a 15 min task it doesn’t seem so daunting and the “rule” makes me hold myself accountable. 3. I do a workout first thing after I wake up. I love the feeling of achieving something before I even start work. It sets me up for a more successful day. Appreciate morning workouts aren’t for everyone so this could be adapted to a different morning task, such as, setting a load of laundry to finish at the time you wake up the night before, then hang it out to dry or pop it in the dryer as your first task. It feels great to get a task completed as soon as you set foot out of bed! I love these videos, thank you for sharing!

[@AC00009]

The Calm App has changed my life. I sleep better and my midday meditation break has helped my stress level immensely. Worth every penny.

[@PatMcFadyenGrowingGradeByGrade]

This is a great conversation to have as a couple, as a family, and with yourself!

[@siljehedrich]

You’re such a bright light in 2020 ❤️ Lots of love from Norway!🇳🇴😻

[@allison32798]

COVID really gave me the time to think about how my habits serve the goals I have for the future. Usually, life is so busy that I have no time to sit down and think, but these days life has been forced to move a little bit slower. Thank you for giving me more habits to think about Jess! Sending love for you and yours 😊

[@melaniewebster]

I was just watching a video of yours from 2017 when this notification came up & I clicked so fast! You're by FAR my FAVORITE beauty youtuber. Please don't ever change who you are or how you do your videos!!

[@JennaRevels]

I've never been a self-help kind of person, but I really appreciate how Jessica approaches these ideas in such a relatable, non-judgmental way. She inspires me to practice further introspection and tweak what needs tweaking.

[@emilyzahrt7503]

I'm well known with my family and friends for being late and I realized it's because I always overestimate what I can do in a day, and along with that I always underestimate how long it will take me to get places. So I've started tacking on 15 minutes to the time I tell people I'll meet them/be ready and now it's a much more accurate guess of when I'll be somewhere. I'm less anxious getting places and it's more respectful to who I'm meeting. I also feel like I can't be the only one who does that so maybe it will help someone else!

[@jens7872]

Anyone else watching this while still in pajamas in the middle of the afternoon? 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@gretchenhanna1323]

Amen!!!

[@rosanaromero7211]

Love this video!! I broke my habit to see news, no more trash in my brain, 10% of the news is true!!,, I started talking with god my best friend in the mornings instead to see my phone and FEELING more GRATITUD, No more caffeine after 4 pm, think less and enjoy my present. I start feeling AMAZING!! GOOD VIDEO JESSICA!!

[@maggiemae1293]

Absolutely. The making the bed one was a big one for me... it truly sets the tone of “okay, let’s start the day” & I feel more relaxed whenever I go through or into my room see it nicely made. I do think we should give ourselves Grace days as well. Especially during this time. Don’t feel bad if one day every so often, you completely drop all expectations of yourself... sleep in, keep your jammies on, treat yourself to a bottle of wine (in the comfort/safety of your home) and enjoy way too much screen time... again, not things you want to make a habit of, but have the Grace to know you don’t need to be perfect.

[@karennicholson4167]

I keep my phone and charger on the kitchen counter at night and I have it set to silent between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. It has helped so much. I do read my Kindle at night, but that light isn't bad. I also limit the amount of time I spend on social media. You are amazing, Jessica, and I appreciate the fact that you are always trying to improve yourself and becoming the best YOU! You are a real treasure to watch and you are amazing!

[@loganstephens1000]

I've been trying to read more books which also gets me off my phone. I've also been trying to go outside more during the day. I don't have kids so it's not really natural for me to walk the neighborhood but I've been doing it and I love it. I feel so alive when the sun hits me!

[@myconfusedmerriment]

I definitely need to work on getting more sleep. I’m a chronic night owl and most of my “me time” happens at night, so I never want to stop what I’m doing and go to bed. But I turned 30 this year and I’ve been doing this for over a decade, and I know it’s taking a toll on me physically, and will only get worse for me if I keep it up. Another thing I want to do (a habit to add rather than break) is to regularly journal. I’ve been doing it occasionally and it really helps me clear my head and make sense of my emotions, so I want to do it more.

[@moonmade1096]

I set an actual clock alarm, and it sits on my dresser across my room. The alarm being across the room has helped me SO much! I don't even think about it anymore. I get straight up. And I did train myself to wake up earlier and earlier and going to bed early, too. Just throwing tips out there. I have my habits that need broken, but I have worked on myself so much over the past couple years, as I'm a recovering heroin addict and recovering alcoholic.🙂 Also; oh boy, I'm definitely a procrastinator!

[@jgheart3018]

way to go Moon Made - you keep working on YOU!

[@moonmade1096]

@@jgheart3018 Thank you! And I most definitely am! Your comment made me smile, thank you!

[@aproposheather4796]

Kudos to you for this video. I’ve got about ten years on you and all of those habits I’ve figured out since turning forty. I do all those things; less phone, more water etc etc. And believe me....when you replace the bad habits with mentally and physically healthier ones your body thanks you exponentially and it’s all the encouragement you need! Might I also share what has added to my personal happiness and contentment. I find grateful moments in everything! Even in traffic! Like, Thank you for the traffic, maybe the universe is slowing me down to avoid a future accident I may have been in. When you can find even the smallest thing to be grateful for you are infinitely happy. Applause for you that your figuring out so much earlier than me. And just know, that “doing nothing” IS doing something. 😘

[@Luvandblessings]

The new habit that I have been trying to create is a deeper prayer & bible study habit. My faith is always been important to me but I have really challenged myself to put my time and effort there. I joined an online weekly bible study to help me have connection, accountability, and fun with learning the bible. I have also been starting my day first with something that will grow my faith before I do anything else. Some days it is to say a prayer, listen to a favorite song, or even IG stories of my pastor for that day. Just to get myself mentally focused on God. I have really seen a difference in my life in the past couple of weeks. : )

[@ltejle]

We have a no phones allowed at the dinner table rule which works pretty well for us! I totally get you about the phone at night but I also notice if I read instead of play on the phone before bed, I do sleep better. Easier said than done!! I have to drink something hot in the afternoon but can't have caffeine at all so I either drink decaf or an herbal tea with honey like Celestial Seasonings Apple Cinnamon which is great!! Jess, you are just a normal person like all of us, we love that about you, don't be too hard on yourself for being human. Thanks for sharing😊

[@marymaddalena-berry7955]

When you said stop procrastinating small tasks and scheduling appointments...it reminded me to schedule an eye appointment that I keep putting off and saying oh, I'll do that later..and then never doing it!! Love your videos!!! Hope you are doing well!!! Much 💕 from Canada! 🇨🇦

[@ashleynicole4287]

These habits are so relatable!! I get accused of not being able to relax all the time. I've recently undergone two surgeries and been forced to do nothing and it drives me crazy!! I was never one to make my bed either but started doing that during quarantine and it totally changed my day!

[@rebeccaclark3440]

This is probably my favorite video you've ever done. I recently have been trying to change things about myself or my habits but I didn't necessarily look at it the same as you. Now, I feel like i can sit down and make a list of things to work on the same way you have instead of thinking "I should change this" as it is happening. I feel it is more helpful for me to already know what I need to be working on instead of figuring it out as I go.

[@amylewis7563]

I have lost friends over being late. I know crap happens, but when someone is habitually late, I don't go out of my way to interact witj them. I would say my worst is shopping. Buying things I want, but don't really need. Especially now that u can buy literally everything online. I need to save more money. Thanks for being honest and sharing with us. 💗💗💗

[@julieseeley7891]

You are my favorite way to start the day! I watch you every morning while I get ready for work. Thank you for being my favorite internet friend 💃🏼💃🏻

[@marshaanderson4756]

Oh my goodness! I so relate on the late thing. I was never late as a single person, but now that I am married with kids, we are always late. Everything always takes longer than I think it will, and I always think I can squeeze in one last thing before we leave. It's so hard! Solidarity sister.

[@katieporter8059]

Being on my phone too much gives me anxiety. I’ve been trying to have days where I don’t look at my phone and I feel SO much better those days!!

[@alyssaf7778]

Spending too much time on my phone gives me anxiety too!

[@charlotterussell9182]

Hiya Jessica, I live in the Uk 🇬🇧 and I defiantly have struggled with relax time. I always felt that to be a good person you always have to be doing something productive. Very hard habit to break however, extremely important for your mental health to have time for yourself!! ❤️

[@lauraj4764]

I have recently put away the phone and stopped watching television at least 30 minutes before going to bed because it was impacting my sleep. I totally agree about the pajamas. I am an elementary school teacher who has been working from home since March and now will be continuing to work at home through at least the end of January. I have a closet full of clothing and shoes that I have barely touched since March. I finally forced myself to start putting on make up and “dressing up” to go to the grocery store because wearing pajamas every day was not helping my mental health. I also need to work on procrastinating the little things. You are definitely not alone! 😊

[@JamykaG]

I block everything on my calendar with reminders. I used to just do it for my content calendar, but also started blocking out personal tasks too. It's really helped a lot!

[@ecosner1]

Loved your vulnerability and how self reflective you are. Makes me want to be better as well. Thank you for being such a positive inspiration on the internet ❤

[@Foreverbecca]

There’s a million habits I could be working on, but one that I’ve been successful with for almost a whole year is not biting my nails! I started in second grade and I never thought I’d be able to quit, but I stopped last September so my nails would look good for my best friend’s wedding and never started up again! For anyone else who has the same bad habit, what worked for me was turning the process of caring for my nails into a luxurious self care moment and treating myself to a new (inexpensive) nail polish every few months. Now I keep my nails painted when I never could before and it feels amazing!

[@harrisonpamela40]

Thank you for being vulnerable and honest. This video spoke to me on so many levels! 🥰

[@autumncrepeau1259]

This is so vulnerable of you to share these things!! Like, really impressive that you can share this with the internet. I love that about your channel. Trying to be a better person while being the mom of a toddler is hard!! I am just getting out of my first trimester with my 2nd pregnancy. I've let myself establish a lot of bad habits during this time just to survive. Getting out of my pajamas first thing has helped me a lot this week, as well as making sure I'm getting up earlier than my daughter. It helps me feel a little more put together to start my day with me time. My husband and I have also been trying to a) go to bed earlier haha and b) make sure we read at least a little scripture together before bed. It has helped my mindset a lot.

[@jordancain631]

Wow. I related to all 10 of those! It’s helpful hearing them from other people instead of just in my head because it’s easy to talk yourself out of it. Great video, as always!❤️

[@lorenaleon4164]

This was a good video. I have been struggling with most of your struggles specially the glass of wine daily, staying on my pj’s during my working hrs, etc. Is good to know that we are not alone in a good way, but also to understand that sometimes simple things as this can become bad habits. Thanks for sharing😘

[@najeebah1406]

I appreciate your thoughtfulness and I know it’s hard to put yourself out there at times. I do feel making it more public or stating it out loud will help you stay accountable to yourself. I need to keep my phone in another room. I like to wake up and do my guided meditation and listen to audiobooks. I do have limits for social though.

[@glorialazarin6945]

I also need to get rid of so many of the same habits. It’s soooo hard to do that. It’s about trying to do my best everyday. I have been doing my bed every day since you mentioned it in your last video. I also purchased some awesome books to read at night to get away from my phone. Thank you so much for everything you do to help me have better habits. If only I could just break the habit of staying in my pj’s all day🙈. God bless you and your family. 💕

[@CindyGallardoo]

Our bodies can learn sleep patterns. So going to bed at the same time and wake up at the same time can teach will eventually lead to better sleep! I'm excited to hear about your progress on these!!!

[@KenzieRaee27]

The taking the phone everywhere is literally annoying at this point lol I often find myself getting out of my car at the end of the work day and I have my lunch box and gym bag and maybe even groceries but my phone is still just RIGHT there in my hand and I literally just throw it in my purse because OBVIOUSLY in that moment the other things are necessary to grab NOT my phone! It’s crazy how dependent we’ve gotten to them, even growing up in the generations of not having them!

[@12micastro]

I agree I agree I agree! From the moment I wake up and go to bed, I don't stop. Always doing something because I feel that I need to be productive. Well, I started to get chest pains and felt weak I got really scared, so I started to take it easy and started to feel better. Plus I start to organize things around the house and make things easier to work with. Yes, another thing I noticed I love love love my coffee. Well, I noticed that now for some reason I don't finish my second cup and I feel better during the day.

[@meganmurphy8618]

Definitely agree!! One thing I’m working on is self-control when eating out - just because my husband wants me to pick him up something fast food doesn’t mean I have to eat that as well. I’ve also been ordering from the kid’s breakfast menu when going out - I find the portion sizes perfect, and there’s less food waste and overeating

[@rosegarza4887]

Wow, I appreciate you doing this video because it help me realize I’m not alone when it comes to having my phone next to me into realize I need to make my own doctors appointments as well so I really do appreciate you doing this thank you again I love your channel and I love your husband’s blogs.💕💕

[@haleylascola3593]

Thank you Jessica for your vulnerability! I was 100% shaking my head in agreement with you...you are not alone!!!

[@Raw_waffels]

Thanks for sharing and making yourself vulnerable by sharing these bad habits! I feel like I can relate with all of yours. I really need to work on be late and not being so addicted to my phone.

[@jessicacarter890]

Love this!!! One habit I need to break is instant buy when it comes to online shopping. It's so easy for me to see something in a video or scrolling online and just click and buy, giving into my instant gratification. I need to work on taking the time to think about those purchases before clicking. Like if I'm still thinking about it and checking on it after 2 or 3 weeks, then commit. Also the pajama thing. I work the second shift at work, so i start at 5 pm which is just so easy somedays to just wait until I get dressed for work to change. I need to be better at just changing in the morning then changing again 7 hours later for work. It's silly to spend all day waiting for work.

[@lizbrady9261]

The phone and not taking time to relax are definitely on my list... also hitting that snooze button! Another thing for me to work on is enjoying the now.. not always worrying about what I have to do in 10 minutes or tomorrow. This was super helpful and relatable, thanks for sharing.

[@apleat1]

I loved this video- bc you are real and struggle just like everyone else. My 1 habit I am trying to break is to leave my sheets (folded) in the basket and not putting it away for like 5 days....Never did this before and its bugging me. I never used to take my cell phone to bed and then since COVID and (not getting up at 530am ) i do take it to bed. I work on the computer all day... there is nothing urgent. It's so bad on so many levels, including your marriage (partnership...). Awareness is #1, then working on it. Good luck to you and to whomever else struggles

[@elaynemrodriguezgonzalez6104]

I’m working from home. And, even when I don’t have virtual meetings, I do my makeup. I feel so well, and I try different looks every day 😅

[@beckiemareemiller1157]

Something I was told once relating to the lateness - ‘to be early is to be on time, to be on time is to be late, to be late is unacceptable.’ I haven’t been late since learning that at 18 and I’m 34 and that phrase just runs around my head whenever I have plans with others. Xx

[@juliegass9746]

I love this! Yes I am doing better on cutting back on caffeine drinks at night. I also need to go to bed earlier to plan for my wind down time. I also make a to do list (not work related) and then procrastinate doing them!

[@breanna2424]

I've started the habit of changing into work out clothes as soon as I get out of bed. No lounging in PJ's. It's helped my motivation to work out for sure! 🏃

[@Jicama626]

Thank you for your candor, Jessica! I appreciate you and think you’re a lovely human. Just wanted to say that!

[@kathleenwood2921]

Great video! Being vulnerable is very brave and good on you for sharing. The phone issue resonates with me as well as the snooze button! Oh...and the coffee. I cut back from 6-8 cups of coffee to 2 and it was not easy. I am also trying to drink more water. I need to buy one of those bottles to help me keep track. Thank you for sharing!

[@lizethvillarreal2423]

I love your videos simply because I feel like as a subscriber now that we all have grown, your videos resonate more with what's going on in my life and the changes I want in my life.

[@joannsalas7015]

Jessica, yes, yes and yes. I am doing exactly the same thing with the phone habit. It has to stop and I'm so happy you are talking about it. When you spoke of the time limit you can do on the phone, I immediately set the limit. I have not once followed it - when it asks me if I want to ignore, Yes, I am ignoring. It's ridiculous. I am definitely working on this. Coffee - I only have two cups :-) Okay sometimes on bad days 3 lol. Since the covid issue started I've been up later, before that by about 9:30 I'm in bed. I need to get back to that too. Thank you for sharing!

[@KDebora]

I can relate to being late, sleeping late, and procrastinating things. Loved this video.

[@agustinamanuela]

I'm from Argentina and one habit I love here is afternoon naps. Usually, if people want to take that time to themselves, they're allowed to nap from 1pm until 5pm. I love doing it even if it's just for like an hour because it helps me to recharge and make my day feel more productive

[@MsK_in_CA]

I think it’s great you are working on real down time. My Mom has always been a highly productive, go go go person. I admire all that she’s accomplished. But I look back and don’t remember ever sitting down to watch a tv show or movie with her. I also remember the first several years after I left home, our “quality time” was me helping her work. I didn’t mind helping but I don’t know that it’s really quality time. She’s now retired and we’ve been making up for lost time. 😊

[@jennawar13]

I am so bad at creating a consistent sleep schedule. I just feel like I’m such a night owl and it doesn’t matter how much I sleep but I am tired in the morning. I think changing even when I don’t have anywhere to go especially now is such a good habit for me to break, thanks for sharing!

[@amylebeau2490]

I have had grade a insomnia for 15+ years (thanks again fibromyalgia 🤦‍♀️) and having podcasts going really helps. I choose ones with calm voices, NO modern issues, 45+ minute running time and non-jarring ad voices/sounds. 99% Invisble by Roman Mars is the gold standard for me.

[@mjb4515]

This video came at a perfect time!! I’ve been trying to be more cognizant of my behaviors and habits. Trying to practice more gratitude, positivity and simplicity in my life.

[@sam11193]

Omg! Thank you for sharing this. Literally every single one of these are ones I WANT to break so bad. And i WILL. My issue is that I wish i can find someone or something that can hold me accountable, i feel like that will help a lot.... especially the phone and the getting up early thing. 💕💕

[@hannahdouglass7991]

i am so bad about the snooze button! you're totally right that you aren't getting good sleep but somehow it is still so hard to get out of bed!! i also love making my bed in the morning, i do it as soon as i get up and it makes me feel so good. plus it just makes the experience of getting into bed each night somehow so much more enjoyable. i started listening to audiobooks at night instead of reading or looking at my phone and it has helped me sooo much in not looking at my phone as much. you can put it on a sleep timer so you don't miss too much after you fall asleep, lol.

[@amysmithssportsandmakeup1397]

Hey Jess and Jess squad- I am starting the 75 on Monday, basically it includes a 45 min workout twice a day, one being outside, eating clean, no etoh, no cheat meals, and read 20 pages of a helpful book every day..

[@izzystamour]

Thank you for sharing and for letting yourself be vulnerable with us. I have found that my Fitbit versa has allowed me to keep my phone further away because it vibrates when my phone is ringing (when connected to the internet) and so I know I won’t miss a call, even if my phone is in another room. Many of your items on your list are also on mine! For me, I need to drink more water. I breast feed and pump so it really has killed my energy levels. Take care and stay safe!

[@Dragonflyathena]

Really great video! I’ve recently started using a habit tracker in my planner to keep track of small little habits I want to start, break or change. Just helps me see what needs attention and feel like I get extra accountability and “credit” for progress! One tiny thing- in the intro you started by saying you know they would make you a “better” and then continued “happier, healthier” person. I just want to agree that it is great to work in ways to ADD health, joy, remove stress- but you’re already a GOOD fully worthy person exactly as you are with these habits. ;) Life is always about growing and learning- it’s good to be honest about where you want to change but moving backwards or stumbling makes you no less “good.” ❤️❤️❤️

[@BarbaraFischer4]

I love the title! You might want to look into a chicory drink or some other caffeine free coffee alternative for later in the day. 🍵

[@kdallosnc]

Great video Jess! Thank you for being so vulnerable. My habit I need to break is definitely coffee NOT stopping neck no lol just reducing and also using chips & salsa as my crutch for a bad day! Cause girl I ate a whole bag yesterday 🙈

[@Jnanderson]

I really enjoyed this video, Jessica. It's honest and a great reality check for me to think about areas that have slipped a bit in life whereI can take back some control. So much of the world is out of control at the moment, this gentle reminder of things we can change is really helpful. Big love from Melbourne. x

Definitely relate to the phone problem - YOU ARE NOT ALONE! I was also with you about a year ago on the alcohol during the week thing where after work, I cracked a beer or had a glass of wine. Now I do Sunday (mostly) - Thursday no alcohol and drink on Friday nights and Saturdays. It's definitely helped my mindset with how I don't necessarily need alcohol to wind down or relax. Also, I'm a week shy of eliminating caffeine for a month. I will 100% go back to drinking coffee in smaller amounts after the month is up, but I wanted to sensitize my body to it so that less could do more #ifyouknowwhatimean. Thank you as always for your honesty in these types of videos.

While watching your video I stopped to do a task I’ve been putting off and dreading. Now it’s done and I feel lighter. Thanks for making this video - I can relate to most of these!!

[@Essentiallyerinb]

I love this so much and needed to hear this today! For me my job is stressful right now (nurse) so I’ve been trying to get into a better headspace before I go to work: doing things like meditating, eating healthy and working out. Helping myself instead of wallowing and doing things that aren’t good for me!

[@renej3487]

Relaxing is something I’m trying to do too. I’m constantly thinking of what I COULD be doing, like reading, organizing, cleaning the dishes, laundry, or finding a cure to cancer. I need to stop thinking these things and just relaaxxxx

[@maryjojaggar9254]

Great reminder - makes you think, for sure! I’m trying to spend more time reading, and less time on my phone just dinging around. Used to complain that I never had time to read a book anymore - well, put the phone down and do it! 🙄

[@sammyzellner1208]

I LOVE how relatable you are. Thank you for sharing!

[@sabrinaa8948]

Thank you for admitting this stuff. Procrastinating, staying in pyjamas, and being late really hit home. I feel less bad about myself knowing a successful person like you also has these habits.

[@emilygallia]

This list could absolutely be my list! Good luck with these. How about a 6 month update on how you’re doing?

[@hollyoberhansly2303]

I think this is a great list, I gave up caffeine 10 years ago and it was the best habit I have ever broken, but I still need to work on the going to bed late and staying on my iPad/iPhone too long.

[@jgheart3018]

This was a great video and very timely for me as I am sitting down this very weekend to put this type of list together for myself. I want to be a better me, and I know I deserve to treat myself better. I am also adding that I will either read or listen to at least one self-help/improvement book a month and listen to at least one podcast geared towards this same subject matter each week. So, mine is more about 10 good habits I want to start for myself and not focusing on what I want to stop.

[@karencrocker816]

Nice video - similar habits we all share I’m sure. I find getting up at 8am, making the bed, throwing a load in the washer and showering before 9am sets the tone for my day.

[@ameliasanders5681]

Mine are definitely procrastinating (especially on quick tasks) and going to sleep earlier. I read somewhere on the internet a few years ago that said if you strive to be somewhere 5-10 minutes early, you’ll never be late. I adjusted my leave times to fit that concept and it’s really worked for me. Might be something for y’all to try. 😊

[@BelleStreetBoyz]

This was wonderful!! Thank you for promoting self awareness and encouraging working on one's self. I love it. 💙💜💚

[@makeupminx6103]

Literally, every single one of those habits are ones Im trying to break. Trying to become a better person, one task at a time!

[@kaylalyons96]

I used to drink an angry orchard or truly every night and I stopped doing that and replaced it with a sparkling water. It is CRAZY how much better my sleep and energy levels are during the week. I’ve been doing the same thing, only drinking on the weekends or a special occasion. It’s made me feel so much better.

[@amydaniels851]

I love this! Some of these I hadn’t thought about how they’re effecting me. A bad habit for me would be not taking the 5 minutes a night to tidy up around the house

[@renej3487]

Turn off your notifications on social media! The only notifications I get are email, phone, text, and fb messenger bc a lot of people get ahold of me on there. This has helped SO much.

[@womanofacertainage5892]

LOL. What's left? Instagram and Twitter? :)

[@renej3487]

Woman of a Certain Age KZbin, Snapchat, Facebook notifications, podcasts and all the other stupid apps you have like crave, Sephora, Fitbit, etc. The only time I get a notification is when someone is trying to actually get a hold of me, not when KZbin is telling me someone uploaded or someone liked my picture on insta. It really helps you out your phone down and stay away from it

[@womanofacertainage5892]

@@renej3487 Ah, got it! I avoid putting stupid apps like those on my phone -- hence was perplexed. LOL! I really do think we'd all be happier and less stressed if we all stopped reacting to notifications all the time. (We = people in general in the US and elsewhere.)

[@madeleinesimmons6416]

I agree so much with a lot of these. I am also trying to lower my phone usage and also getting out of my pjs each day. When it comes to the keeping busy habit I love to sit outside with nothing and just be.

[@sashagibson2187]

I’m trying to break the habit of constantly thinking about everything I have to do and getting overwhelmed instead of focusing on just one task and then feeling good about accomplishing it. As it stands right now I feel like I’m never doing enough and I want to change that. Your video really got me thinking about other things I’d like to change... thank you!

[@bobbiobanion7706]

I've heard others say making a check list and then checking it off helps them stay on task and then seeing it checked off makes then feel accomplished. Even if the task is small.

[@paulacronic]

I’m dying to know where that heart necklace is from. It catches my eye every time you wear it!! 💖💖

[@pamelajae]

I was nodding my head YES to every single habit you mentioned. Life goes by so quickly, we need to be more in touch with how we spend our time. Thanks great video😊

[@janiceandthomas]

I loooove these kinds of videos from Jess! They really resonate with me and I feel encouraged to work on myself as well 😁

[@hafsamoiz7014]

Found your channel a year back and i am obsessed with you and your videos! Love the content and the positive vibes you radiate❤ i cannot get most of what u recommend as i live in Pakistan but still watching ur videos is the best time of my day💕

[@shelbyjoneff]

I’ve been noticing that Ive developed a really bad phone addiction at night. This video has inspired me to finally get it together and put the phone down!
