5 Tiny Habits I’m Starting NOW to Level Up My Life in 2025 ✨

[@marieoliphant8305]

In July of 2023 I decided I needed to get more exercise after recovering from a big back surgery. I didn’t intend to, but I ended up walking 60 minutes a day, (on treadmill) for an entire year! I was on a roll and just kept going. I now go 4x a week to maintain. ❤️🙏💃 Never felt better!

[@Christinamychas]

That is AMAZING!!! walking is soooo great honestly

[@nikisu1539]

May I ask, if you lost weight? I seriously consider starting to walk, so would love to hear if you saw an impact?

[@hillerycrawford1062]

Your content has inspired me massively and has helped me be more intentional in many ways. After your tik tok, I joined project pan. Now, I'm getting dressed everyday...even if I'm just sitting on the couch on a Sunday afternoon. Thank you for the positive impact you've had on my life.

[@annaisapalindrome]

FYI you can use a spoon to scrape the ginger instead of trimming with a knife for less waste!

[@Christinamychas]

So smart!!

[@corastauber7989]

Torontonian this video hits home, winter outside walks are hard to make yourself do, but we all have the winter gear. Let’s do it

[@Christinamychas]

We do! Let’s gooooo 🎉

[@KellyBoettcher-qo9tx]

walking,me too!!! Rain snow, hot, cold. No phone either!! 14:21 Just walking and look around.

[@jessgirr1728]

I heard a tip when applying skincare to your neck, finish in an upward sweeping motion. Something about gravity ;)

[@denisevincent4871]

Awesome video! I'm retired and have had a goal of walking 3 miles at least 6 days a week the last couple of years. No electronics. It's one of my favorite things to do, so refreshing.

[@lisacooney4458]

I'm inspired to meal prep, which is a habit I have to get back into! I'm also impressed by you going to the gym in the snow!

[@Christinamychas]

Haha I’ll go in any weather! Meal prep has been helping so much - now just gotta come up with a few more fun meals ❤

[@seltzermint5]

Definitely making ginger shots now! Something I've loved lately is making homemade super chunky applesauce. Literally just peeling and chopping apples then cooking them down in water only, smashing with a potato masher. I have put it in the Vitamix before but we prefer it super chunky instead. So tart and delicious, no need to add anything else but you can sprinkle in cinnamon if desired. Best way for me to eat apples in the winter.

[@Christinamychas]

Omg sounds amazing!!

[@lisaannfick]

Such an enjoyable, feel good, motivating video! Great start to my day with my own glass of water and big mug of coffee! ❤ I pre-ordered my journal a few weeks ago. Can’t wait to receive it!!📔🥳

[@ellb8795]

1. The mug is LOVELY 2. attach your necklaces to each other; they become a "pulley system" and won't tangle

[@sevcanarslann]

About breaks, your words are so inspiring for me. My brain is full all the time with nonsense and ıts really logical to take a silence walk for it, social media scrolling or listening podcasts through walking are not helping me. Thank you

[@franceburke8044]

More meal prep video Christina! Great video !

[@nikkisue1715]

I don't wear much make-up. How often do you clean your makeup brushes? My intention for 2025 is a NO BUY clothes, shoes, and purses year. I purchased a lot of new clothes over the last two years, refreshing my wardrobe with classics and looks that fit my lifestyle. My other intention is the same as yours regarding putting together a thoughtful nutritional way of eating. I use an app called Chronometer. It helps me stay accountable to what I eat and what type of daily exercise I do. We like brown eggs too. I started walking 5 to 6 days per week in my neighborhood since last March. I am now up to three miles. It is great for the mind. I use a walking app that keeps track of my miles, etc. I need to be more mindful on what type of KZbin videos I watch and how much time I spend on it. Good for you on creating these intentions and thanks for this video.

[@seltzermint5]

I can't answer for Christina of course but I clean my makeup brushes probably every 2-3 months. They just don't seem to get too dirty, honestly. I am doing a low buy year on clothes and shoes too and my intention re: purses is to buy just ONE this year even if it is really expensive that's fine, but there will only be one. I am so bad about buying purses that are not 100% what I want if they are cute and affordable, then I don't carry them all that often. Changing it up this year. I bought one large work bag on Jan 1 and it's going to be the only bag of its type I buy in 2025.

[@alreadyenough]

I was feeling motivated and also started a channel talking about simplifying life and living more minimally

[@carmenlheureux5435]

I’m thinking about daily walks, but it’s so hard in winter here in Montreal. I’m planning for three times a week. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@seltzermint5]

I get that. I live in the central USA where we don't have a ton of super wintry weather but it definitely throws a wrench in my well established outdoor walking and hiking habits! yesterday was mild enough for an hour hike, glorious.

[@Christinamychas]

It is tough in Montreal! Frigid! My friend and I went on a polar vortex walk the other day though and it was okay! If you can go with a buddy it makes it easier

[@sixtyspink]

I find it nearly impossible to get properly dressed everyday, especially if I am only going out for a walk or to run a quick errand. It just feels like I am making laundry for no reason, and I don't want to have to wash my nicer pieces constantly!

[@DrDroog29]

You may already know this, but the way to solve this is to understand your personal style and how much of your daily life asserts that. If you spend most of your time at home or unable to wear nice pieces, you may just need to alter your style to a more casual wear and accept that you may tend away from nicer/dressy and maybe even less clothing to minimize laundry. You still have to wear clothing every day so you’re always building up some sort of laundry. Plus, for me personally I don’t wash the clothes I wear every day- a lot of it can be stretched pretty far. To some people, a nice sweatsuit is getting dressed properly. Otherwise you’ll just continue to waste your wardrobe. I always felt this way too until I altered it to my practical lifestyle.

[@seltzermint5]

I love the using up makeup and skincare. To me that's so much more goals than constantly buying new stuff. I recently bought quite a lot of makeup and skincare but NO guilt because I seriously used up sooo much of my previous stockpile. It feels better to me buying new stuff when I fully used the old.

[@Christinamychas]

I agree!!! Love that!

[@WeAreBullets]

LOL your weather is actively changing as you film one scene. i love it. yeah New Hampshire has been very wintery lately, trying to make use of my redlight therapy devices during the winter, hoping it will up my energy and mental state a bit. i dunno

[@karenmcneill2602]

Love the mug! Great video.

[@brittneyhall5378]

I pre ordered your journal! I’m so excited

[@vcr6854]

Yay! Just preordered 😊

[@Casscapri]

Congrats Christina! You are doing it great!

[@susankirkendall8636]

You look really good Christina, glowing!

[@annie-sc]

That mug is so pretty!!❤

[@Christinamychas]

She did such a great job!! ☕️

[@DrDroog29]

Legit thought you meant her face lmao, and I was about to agree. Both the face and mug are beautiful!

[@Christinamychas]

@@DrDroog29lmaooooo too funny!

[@annie-sc]

​@@DrDroog29 lmao I actually thought of editing the comment after I posted it 😂😂😂😂😂

[@IvannaShkilnyuk]

Love your nails !!! 💅

[@jfraser9011]

Yes I’m definitely doing project pan too. I have very few products but I’m sure it will take the year to finish them! Nice to not have to buy any cosmetics!

[@juliestulberg3339]

You look amazing without makeup in a ponytail❤

[@AndreeaDimaFotograf]

Omg... Your nails! 😍😍😍

[@jamesbriggs5740]

My goal is to eat regularly. Often I get up late and don't always eat right away. Then I skip lunch and have no energy. I don't have a regular schedule as I am retired and have a chronic illness. Kathy B I am not a lettuce fan. I rarely eat salads at home, only in restaurants.

[@meilinchiang6951]

I have pre ordered your book. Can wait to use it.

[@alreadyenough]

GREAT VIDEO! so many nice insights

[@bbellebe]

Thank you for another video! ❤️ I love your habits, esp. daily walks 🚶🏻‍♀️ I value fresh air esp. after long screen time! Also, getting dressed 👗👠💄 is something I'm gonna borrow from you 😉😍 I think one habit I want to practise every day this year is being positive ✨ and present where I am now. I tend to worry so much about the future and so lose the joy of the moment 😥 I don't want that anymore. I think getting dressed could be one tiny thing out of many I can do to learn to love my life back ❤️

[@Christinamychas]

Ugh I feel you on that! It’s so easy to fall into worry. Love the gratitude practice ❤

[@ElenaClassicFan]

Recently I read that your first drink in the morning should be tea and not coffee. I try this some mornings and I really feel myself little bit better.

[@carmencarp3594]

You should be happy to know that breakfast is actually not important. Your body is still processing and digesting and metabolizing the meals from the day before. One healthy, good solid lunch and then maybe an early light dinner and that's all you need to stay disease free 🙏

[@amgchainus]

Going to join you with project pan!

[@4eburawka18]

I've been thinking about what you said about how much makeup we really need. TBH we don't need it at all :) but not being too dramatic, and especially for those who like trying new things, maybe using testers would be just enough. I am totally against single-use items and micro-packaging but if the alternative is to waste a whole product then... the tester is actually less waste.

[@kathyesargent9088]

Ordered can hardly wait❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@CorrineVictoria]

what a gorgeous mug!! 😍

[@sarahl.2228]

Hi from Montreal! Would love to see a month Costco haul. And super interested in more food/nutrition/macro content.

[@Christinamychas]

I’ll be sharing more of that content this year for sure ❤

[@WeAreBullets]

brain-breaks indeed. i been reading books about technology and attention and other tech affects on the brain and body. its pretty scary actually what we have gotten ourselves used to doing these days. I'm intending to finally read Marshall McLuhan's 'Understanding Media', but I recently read "Slow Productivity" by Cal Newport (not focused on tech only tho, one of my fave books ever now tho), "New Media Epidemic" by Jean Claude Larchet (more of a spiritual/natural focus around tech, also one of my fave books ever), and now reading "The Shallows" by Nicholas Carr which is apparently a modern tech-culture/philosophy classic. probably the main thing I've learned over the years is how important our Attention is and how primary and foundational it is for being human. Attention sovereignty has been one of my main goals if not my one main goal (since it is required for the success of all goals really) in the last 5+ years. Divesting my attention and energy from things that don't cultivate virtue and even better mindfulness. its hard. lol i dont have social media but for sure im still addicted to youtube and some tv shows. but at least now i know what i need to do and how to do it.

[@Christinamychas]

Agree - I’m working on reclaiming my attention too. Needs to be done

[@IAmPhasion]

Those loafers are gorgeous! I too want a pair of nice loafers and doc martens. I also do project pan i will record my empties this week. I’m being intentional in how i spend my money and also really focusing on my health and dance or walk daily

[@moniquemoreno8742]

Thanks for the reminder to take a brain break! You are looking fierce!

[@brbr.vgs90]

How to keep necklaces from tangling -->> get some necklace layering clasps!

[@adz5bneweng589]

Also, if your kiwis are slightly unripe, they will continue to ripen on the counter at room temp.

[@MariaHedengren-g1d]

Great video! I am interested in your workout schedule and maybe something about your workout goals. if you can share that sometime it would be really interesting!😊

[@glamdragon]

Thanks for letting us follow along, so inspiring! Oh, and where did you find the slate blue shirt?! 🤩

[@BenoiteLejis]

I’d love to know that too! 😊

[@Christinamychas]

It’s tibi!

[@jrdsmithsmith3742]

I love your necklaces! Any recommendations?!

[@emmerodriguez1549]

Loved the video

[@Deadwrongallalong]

Omg I eat kiwis with the skin on too! So much better that way

[@JayJay-wg5ex]

I have only coffe until lunch too

[@kimbuckner9792]

? What is project pan? Or to hit pan?

[@Christinamychas]

It’s working on using up your makeup before buying more!

[@georgiasylke3650]

For ginger shots. I see the salmon recipe. Thanks.

[@Christinamychas]

I can’t find the exact one I used but it’s -a bunch of ginger -2 lemons -2 naval oranges -1/4 tsp of olive oil - turmeric root or powder - a pinch of black pepper to Activate the turmeric - filtered water or coconut water Blend and strain the pulp and done - lasts about a week! Add some honey if more sweetness required

[@sarahl.2228]

Can you tell us what season/undertone you are for reference. I’m a muted summer and wondering how your shades would suit me in cheek, eye and lip colors.

[@Christinamychas]

Deep, cool, clear was my color me beautiful analysis - I’d be a winter I think. Although in general for makeup I’m more of a neutral undertone for foundations!

[@annaMH6994]

What protein powder do you use?

[@cindyparker8264]

What does PAN mean?

[@Christinamychas]

Yes! I had no idea it was even on - will do!

[@adz5bneweng589]

Another vote for eating kiwis with the skin.

[@nici4479]

One of the healthy habits is putting on make up? I don't know, this Video feels a bit scammy

[@JayJay-wg5ex]

brain dump is from the artists way 3pages /morning pages by julia cameron, its good

[@evalindell2757]

Much more healthy to write with pen and paper as it gives other signals to the brain, says an old teacher that hates the learning to read and write on an computer! Not good! 🫣😘
