51th way: decorate your room. Avoid black as much as possible. It makes my day much better coming in to a colorful room. Trust me

[@kutloanokhoza7482]

You're speaking to me rn. Cause I recently had an idea to change my way of clothing and to wear brighter clothes and to avoid dark clothes such as black and grey cause they are to overestimated and given so much credit but they low key weigh us down :)

[@lostfountain595]

My room is grey and black lol everything is, my bed, desk, mouse, and everything.

[@As-fk1rb]

Waking up to a clean house and no screaming toddlers is always a nice way to wake up for me!

"In a culture that wants marriages to fail, make 'em stronger." freaking love that. Also, you're beautiful. Love your videos.

[@Samcma2015]

I work with a lot of cancer patients and when they become emotional or fearful, I allow myself to emotionally connect with them. So your advice about grieving when others grieve really hit home for me ❤️

[@kalm8362]

Woow

[@margaretmatheny]

[@cassidy713]

I also work with cancer patients and was looking for ways to be more helpful. This is a great tip!!

Hello! Another worker with cancer patiens. Wish you loads of strength 🥰

[@haleyjo6662]

I wish your videos could go on for so much longer, they’re so calming and help me center myself again ❤️

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my KZbin channel 2 months ago about self development. Now I have 139 subs and almost 75 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place.

[@laurens4864]

Love your channel Margaret ❤ You have helped me so much in the last year I've been watching your videos.You motivate me to be a more conscious mum, wife and woman! I appreciate how vulnerable you are in order to help others. Thank you as always for your wonderful, genuine content. So much love from Scotland xx

[@jonipresson]

I love the idea of celebrating more! Especially with my kids, cause they get so excited about the little things, and you can make any occasion more special by saying we are celebrating, its like it make you enjoy that moment MORE! 😘

[@aurelian.st.bellamy]

something i read that really keeps me vulnerable is: “eye-opening post for me included the words "people are meant to be burdens" as in humans rely on and support one another and it's not a bother it's our purpose; to love and be loved in return. so if you ever think you're being annoying just remember we were made to love and it's going to be okay” ❤

[@happyhealthyhadlee]

I love the pencil in the mouth trick! My clients sometimes practice smiling first thing in the morning, and they started calling it "smile therapy" because it's so effective! :)

[@amdenton111]

Thank you for being such a light and always sharing what you’re learning. ❤️

[@audramichie3129]

I love this video!!! Your ideas to simplify in so many ways and remember I’m not a burden when I reach out to someone really spoke to me today. Not sure I can get by with just one spatula though. 😬 I cook for my family of 8 and various friends every day and the spatula struggle is real!! 😂 Have a wonderful weekend!

[@hanamiorigami]

Totally agree, except for no. 2. Felt exactly the other way around. My skin and also my menstrual cycle have never been better after I ditched cow's milk and everything produced from it.

[@whoareyou1540]

raw milk has the enzymes to break down the lactose, the normal milk is pasteurized and the enzymes are cooked out of it which makes it inflammatory

[@cab26]

Yes…. Soya milk for hormones and oat for sweetness

[@annatadros6448]

wow I did not know that ! thank you@@whoareyou1540

[@SunshineBloom777]

Thank you for the blessing of these! I loved helping people at the grocery store & just saying hi to people! It’s as challenge as an introvert but we were created by God to live in community and relational! Needed this encouragement 🌱🤍

[@margaretmatheny]

So touched to hear this. Thanks for sharing!

[@rachelb2574]

Love this! Thank you so much for sharing these encouraging and uplifting videos. So beneficial in my life and home

[@homemaker0506]

Man, your videos have been so spot on with everything my integrative doctor has me doing. I could talk about this with you for a long time!

[@fromgrind2glory754]

I do agree with a majority of the things you've mentioned. My only caveat would be the not having the phone in the bedroom and the almond milk. Because every single person is different t hos also means that what they allow to enter their body will affect them differently as well. So what may be a negative for one person could be a positive for another. Also, not having a phone in the bedroom isn't a safe choice just because of something were to happen as far as a burglary or attempted break-in , ou would have to leave your room just to call 911. Just because the phone's in your room doesn't mean you have to look at it.

[@suzannerijks9882]

I loved this! Have seen so many video's about simplifying and making your life better, but I've heard some new ones today, thank you!

[@samwasfound1172]

Almond milk actually has so little almonds in it but dairy is filled with hormones like estrogen and stress hormones so it’s definitely not better ❤

[@samwasfound1172]

@@aileen8492 like parasites and fattening hormones? It would be significantly more natural to drink human breast milk. There’s no difference from cow milk and raccoon milk… both gross

[@Sillymaus]

TRUE!!

[@juliamaciaslopez6632]

As a nutrition-dietician student in a country where raw milk is banned, you shouldn’t be too worried about the hormones, and more about the presence of microorganisms and bacteria. There are methods of boiling them, like pasteurize or UHT milk, that retain most of their nutrients and just non dangerous or NO bacteria. The only “downsides” to almond milk is that people shouldn’t expect of it what it’s in milk. Is very, very, very low in fat (I don’t know why she says its “””high””” in poliinsaturated fats? And i’ve never seen, read, and I just researched, that poliinsaturated fat is unhealthy for women. I would love to see her source). The consense it’s that it isn’t. In fact, when we talk about unhealthier fats, its saturated fat, the one present in milk (not demonizing it, just saying that insaturated fats (mono, poli), are best! Also, it’s very low in protein and higher in sugar than milk. Drink it if you like it, don’t expect it to feel the same as cow’s milk, and try to have it fortified for Calcium, Vitamin D and B12.

[@meganm.4701]

I beg to differ. Dairy milk is straight up milk. Just milk. Almond and other nut juices have additives, how else do you think they get it to taste and look like regular milk?

[@terriefitzpatrick4946]

You’re a vibe and I’m here for it 🙌 I will be rewatching this and writing these tips down once I’m no longer nap trapped ❤️

[@BallroomJenni]

Love all of these!! I am so interested in healthy hormones and shifting my eating to fuel my body in that way. I also heard once that with hugging children you should never be the first to let go. I have tried this with my children and some friends and when I wait for them to let go first, you can feel an actual breath release and them sink further into the hug before letting go.

[@margaretmatheny]

That’s the sweetest thing!! I’ll do that 🤍🤍

[@sophiasantos4778]

First time watching you and by the time I finished this video, I was almost crying and I don't even know why. It's so evident that the Lord is using you. To showcase His love, peace, joy, etc. You radiate light and it's so refreshing to see someone incorporate prayer, God, in these types of videos. Wasn't expecting it but im so thankful to have clicked. New sub ❤❤❤

Hi Sophia

Ah, love hearing that you are too! I honestly just crave groundedness and stability. Getting back to my most natural state happens when I'm outside, in the sun, and respecting the timing that the Lord gave us. So glad you're here!! I love hearing from all my sunshine women!

[@MonalynAndayaDelaPena]

Oh my gosh! It's my first time on your channel and your positive energy attracted mine. You make me feel good that I even rewatched your video without skipping the ads. Thank you very much for the energy you're spreading. Know that you're very beautiful and wonderful!

I really love the positive energy which is radiating off of you in the video

[@nataliexxj]

you inspire me so so much! would never have gained the courage to start my own channel if it weren’t for you and all of your videos!

[@clairetomes617]

Tried almond milk for a while because I knew whey made me break out really bad, but it just doesn’t taste good and I found out less processed whole milk is not as bad for your skin. I switched to whole milk and it’s been great, but if you can’t do dairy oat milk is tastier and healthier than almond imo.

[@simplysean1]

I love oat milk over every other milk!

[@samf.s8786]

Doing oat milk right now, my only source for actual milk is yogurt

Second attempt was a funny one, I was walking under our monkey tree, smelling the flowers and enjoying their delicate beauty with my two year old on my hip and a cup of coffee in the other hand :) this walk ended with tree sap on my foot 😂 blessings to you and yours❤
