Adulting Habits that Improved My Life

[@VenetiaKamara]

Moving the camera/lights/tripod to so many different places, creating such a time consuming intro, making beautiful graphics. I don’t think people understand how much time Jen spends on every video, when she could just do a simple sit-down and finish it in 40 minutes. This is an insane amount of filming hours, and I really appreciate it as a viewer. Since clothes encounters Jen’s videos were top notch, and she kept the standards high ever since. Congratulations on your really hard work Jen ❤

Habits: 1. Meditation 2. Sleep 3. Reading 4. Stretching 5. Cooking 6. Writing

[@HaPaPrFu]

Thank you

[@ImBlue-ey9lo]

Surprisingly i did almost half of these but yeah, the consistency is the key. And i agree if the meditation one put on the first which is interpret as the most important, and i really agree with that. That i do yoga and enjoy it, but when i got problem about the busyness and skipped my yoga for two weeks, i felt stress out with my daily. I mean that's how I think yoga can help us decrease our stress.

Jenn is everyone's favourite big sister, so grateful to have you

[@lisaemmajones7655]

Don't forget she doesn't do the video work, she also had to close Eggie because she overpriced her products and ghosted customers who wanted refunds. Also abuse of staff in sweatshops. Her content is scammy, don't be fooled young uns, she's taking you for a ride. She had to delete the video Coming Clean about Eggie because it showed who she really is

[@lisaemmajones7655]

And don't delete people's post telling the truth. Ben cheated on you and some didn't see it before when he mentioned he kissed another, he is British so he will cheat

[@sharonyang8822]

Uhhhh coming clean about Eggie was actually her talking about how she wasn’t doing any of those things.

[@sharonyang8822]

And she doesn’t do any of the video work?? Have you tried to even film yourself or just a simple video? That is work in itself whether or not she edits it herself. Also she can afford to hire out because she has spent YEARS doing it herself and building her career

[@lisaemmajones7655]

[@julietmolz8839]

Bullet journaling changed my life!! Mine is less about tracking tasks and more about mental health. I write down my moods, "celebrations" (things I'm proud of), lessons from therapy, things to do & see in my city, and check in each week with a small diary entry. It helps you to actually accomplish what you want to do while staying present and positive, rather than constantly striving for goals and perfection.

[@imjennim]

I love this!!! xx

[@artyshefartsy]

This is such a good one!!!!!!!

[@solarr.__]

As a 22 year old overthinker and being terrified of becoming an "adult" your videos make me feel so much better about getting older and going through life! Living for the big sister advice !!

[@TheMeanGirlz]

I be sukn deek

[@valesth4903]

A 19yo friend asked my 38yo friend "when do you start feeling old?" He told her "you don't. You just talk to 19 year olds and think" oh wow, what children" " I was 27 at the time and this has stuck with me and definitely changed my outlook on growing older.

[@marie5608]

Ugh, a much needed video! It's been 5 years since I graduated college and got my first job. But it feels like I'm still in my transition period. It does get overwhelming and sometimes my anxiety gets the best of me. And I'm still working out the best habits to incorporate in my adulting life...

[@jessica_18]

I’m in the same boat! It’s kind of crazy because in comparison to who I was 5 years ago, I’ve got a lot figured out. But every day, there are new questions and things I’m learning and having to make decisions on. Even with the bedsheets Jen is talking about 😂 something that I feel like would be a good investment is nice bedsheets, buuut I keep flipping back and forth.

[@imjennim]

I feel you! Post grad life is a big adjustment, since it's our first foray with not having to go to school. I know you'll find your rhythm soon. It takes trial and error. You got this! x

Jenn, I seriously think you'd be an amazing author of a lifestyle/self-help book! I love the way you express your thoughts and how you tackle them with an open mind. You have hard hitting advice but are gentle with yourself as well which is awesome : )

[@glezy5]

I would LOVE a book from jenn. Would 1000% buy it

[@veronicacanaveira1068]

I have been watching you now for so many years (I am now 29) and I have to say that it’s been beautiful watching you transition into adulthood and parenthood. You and Ben are such great role models and I really appreciate all the effort you guys put into your content. The videography and editing is absolutely immaculate, and as others stated you have such an eloquent way with words. ❤️

[@ansleylatting7577]

I am a KonMari Tidying Consultant, and folding clothes has been a great habit for me! I use the time to reflect on why each piece brings me joy and do a mini joy-check for each item I fold. Some days I hate folding or I’m busy with life like us all, but when I do take the time to care for my clothes, I am always grateful for the moment of reflection and gratitude❤

[@musicjunkie8228]

Omg I love this idea! I feel like that’ll help me feel more connected to the things I own

[@rollingwithri]

Tapping into what my inner child wants to do really helps me to adult! Doing something I enjoy for no reason or a specific outcome is so freeing especially in an era where productivity seems to be attached to everything we do. Dance like no one is watching 💃🏽

[@artyshefartsy]

This is such a good one!!!! I’ve starting drawing stupid things like cartoon fish with legs because that’s what my inner child wants to do! Haha

[@Chrysi-]

Jenn, thank you! ❤️ This Video made me emotional. I am 25 and adulting is hard sometimes, but you reminded me that it's okay to do things at your own pace. Life is not a race. I started a challenge where I stretch everyday for 10 minutes because I have realised how the lack of movement and stretching has affected my ability to focus for a long period of time when I study. I am only on day two but my muscles ache already. This means I really need to continue with the challenge. It also distresses my mind.

[@imjennim]

Absolutely!! I'm proud of you for taking the time to find things that improve your mind, body and soul for the long run. Keep up the stretching challenge!! I promise it's so worth it. n_n

[@Rulezzz30]

With such high level of editing won't be surprised if Jenn presents a film sometime soon!💜

[@amehnh]

The way you explained writing changed my perspective. I’ve tried journaling before and I never liked it because like you mentioned, I’d get frustrated from not being able to write as fast as my thoughts. I never thought about how it can be a good thing - that it allows me to slow down and reflect on myself and the situation I may be going through. Thanks Jenn, I think I’ll give journalling another try 🫶

[@imjennim]

Definitely!! Reflection requires delay! I hope your next journaling sesh goes well. (:

[@ceegee1706]

I love the idea through all of these tips that it's about progress, not perfection, and every little bit helps.

[@Shelbyneal3]

These are all really good tips! Not sure if this would be considered a habit but something that has helped my self doubt and anxiety as a mother is being proud of an accomplishment no matter how small it may be. For example, getting up when I’m tired and making a simple dinner for my family instead of eating out is a small accomplishment but I still try to feel proud of myself in those moments. I feel like those small boosts in self esteem help me accomplish other things in my life that I may have felt too overwhelmed to conquer.

[@janinecanono8077]

This video couldn't be so ON POINT. I love everything that Jenn mentioned here cause I can truly resonate with EVERYTHING!! I'm getting teary-eyed just by watching this because I feel so out of touch with myself and out of balance recently. This video has reminded me time and time again of these little things I can do to nourish, love and take care of myself. Physically, mentally and emotionally. I'm officially getting into my 30s this year, and all of these things I can resonate big time. Thanks so much Jenn for being a HUGEEE inspiration to many. Please keep doing more of these adulting hack content, it's honestly a lifesaver!

[@idunnn.h.3792]

Your videos have actually made me feel more secure in growing older. I am 29, soon 30, and it feels overwhelming sometimes. I always trend to go to your videos when I need to feel safe with all these changed. Thank you so much, Jenn!

[@JMI1807]

I have been experiencing the worst EVER anxiety, panic attacks which leads to lightheaded & even breathless. But this gives me so much helpful ideas on how I can improve my mental health. Thank you for sharing❤

[@LK-ob5jc]

Something that helps me everyday, is not to let my "future me" deal with the stuff that I can do now. For example, preparing my breakfast and lunch the day before. Preparing my clothes in the evening, so they are ready when I wake up. Same for my gym bag. It helps keep me motivate to go to the gym in the morning. More important, it makes me greatfull for what I did for myself. It's just simple things, that matter in the day to day life. I also try to write every night : 3 things I'm gratefull for (specific or general) and 3 things I'm proud I did during the day. I observed it changed my mindset even during the day. I'm more happy and open to receive the small joys everyday life and I talk to myself more gently. For sure, I want to try medidation and yoga too, to help with dealing with anxiety. Thank you for you videos :) PS: I'm a french speaker, sorry if my english is not perfect.

[@AdrianasWonderland]

what helps me is also stretching, I have been going through a change when I really need to step into my adulting pfase. It's tuff, but thank you for making this videos

[@leam_dy1831]

I would say that my adulting habit is to try to not procrastinate. As i grow, i encounter lots of different situations that I'm not familiar with, and it can make me want to avoid them 😅 So I try to force myself to tacle every new thing right away, so that I can feel more confident afterwards and learn. It's also something I apply in my everyday life around the house, because as time goes, I find that it is really precious so I want to spend as much time as I can doing things I love and enjoying myself. I can't do that if I have a pile of undone chores that I need to take care of... I understood that I'd rather spend 10 minutes a day doing things that are not fun but need to be done, and then do something else, than let them accumulate and finally ruin a day that could have been spent differently 😊

[@imaturtle65]

How do you continue to top yourself?? The editing and filming is always so spectacular! Your communication class is proving to be effective with your videos as evidence. :)

[@imjennim]

Awww, you're so kind!! Although I can't take all the credit! Ben filmed and edited all the intro + stop motion and Janine added all the pizazz with the motion graphics! n_n

[@typicalplace805]

Jenn, I've watched you since you started. We're the same age and I too was a college student on a budget who simply wanted to be stylish. Your videos during clothes encounters were my weekly faves to watch. Took a break from KZbin but during the pandemic, seeing your transformation into a maturing adulthood has brought me a similar feeling of back when I watched you: companionship. It feels like we're all progressing and maturing together and I appreciate all your nicely organized Virgo brain sharing your own methods and journey. Just wanted to leave an appreciation!

[@erikariveraaah]

You are influencing me in ways I actually want to be influenced. Thank you! 🙇‍♀ Just sharing a habit that I've probably been doing for several years now, and that's to recap your day. Personally, recapping it with my significant other has helped a ton. It feels a bit like therapy when you look at your day in hindsight. You're able to find pockets of gratitude and moments that you, admittedly, could have reacted/done better. I'm blessed to have someone I can share this with, but I do think recapping it in writing or even in your mind before you sleep could be helpful too. And when I say recap, I mean, share all the details you want. Even the ones that seem "insignificant"- like the snack you ate, the outfit you wore, the sky you saw, etc. ❤

[@deniseleong23]

I've not seen anyone describe their love for reading the way you did in this video - those were the exact reasons why I love reading (would never have been able to articulate it so eloquently as you!)

[@fengyaxin8259]

[@Roaksin]

I think that, when I heard you say " I know that adulting is hard, but we are all in it together ", a big release happened, for me. God that is so true !! Thank you Jenn !

[@malakismani]

Mmm “maturity is slowing down your reaction to things” that is deep!! I’ve been really enjoying using a habit tracker app and it sets reminders to help me stay on track

[@cosmocelli]

The part where you said that your mind is racing with so many thoughts that you hate how your hand can't match up with the speed is something I relate to. However, when you said that you love how journaling/writing helps with this cause it forces you to slow down enabled me to reconsider my feelings when journaling while frustrated. I love your perspective, and I think Imma start journaling more.

[@meizeng6768]

I usually, go for a walk and try to reach my 10k steps, meditate, read self help books, go to the gym and sleep at least 8 hours. I also find sometimes just standing in nature and just taking in the sounds help me to wind down after a stressful day or if I just need to clear my mind.

[@imjennim]

Reading this comment just relaxed me.

[@artusaurus]

Something that I find really helps me is to every morning open the window, stick my head out and just take in the air. Our cat usually joins me and it feels cozy and like we're both just appreciating the new day just buzzing with potential, freshness and gratitude. Another thing is to take breaks as seriously as work. It's too easy to go from one screen to another, but to actually try to do nothing or go outside even if it's just the balcony or outside your home makes the most out of the break and you will feel more refreshed :)

[@doopiefish500]

A lot of these have helped me too! 💛 I love how clearly and helpfully you explained them, it makes me feel so much more motivated haha. Another little thing that has helped me is to, sometimes, do nothing else while I'm eating. I find it tempting to watch videos or read, scroll, or listen to music while eating, but doing nothing else but eat every now and then helps me to appreciate my food, touch base with myself, and break the cycle of constant digital or mental stimulation.

[@shannonvanduren5703]

This is one of my favorite videos of yours probably ever. Not only were the ~vibes~ great, with the editing, videography, etc., but you're so well spoken and did a great job of explaining each thing in a completely different way than I've ever heard any of these things explained before. It's been wonderful as a long time follower seeing your journey and different eras, and I can really tell that they've all converged to this wonderful, balanced version of yourself.

[@patchworkpig89]

[@gabigoulart]

Love this video. My #1 adulting habit is to put my life into a worksheet, like bills to pay, how much to save etc. It really makes me feel confident about being an adult

[@AdmiralPeach]

i’m 34 and i replaced my old crusty kindle with a new one late last year, in the hope that i’d rekindle the love i had for books as a child. i’m glad to report that i did! i’ve been using goodreads to track the books i’ve read so far and i’m so proud of myself and happy that i can lose myself in a book anywhere i am. i’ve been gaming & using social media a lot less which makes me feel happier overall ☺️ and exercise! even just walking 20-30 mins a day is enough to boost my mood, i highly recommend it 💕

[@juliawilson9089]

Every single one of these I agree with whole-heartedly. In college I took some research courses that required readings/teachings on yoga and meditation. Through that I began to practice and saw the improvements first hand. It's now part of my everyday routine. I also journal, which really helps in moments of anger, anxiety and confusion. I am currently becoming more interested in reading, which I can relate to your commentary on - because in school, reading is an assignment and you almost never get to choose what you are reading. However it has now become a goal of mine to essentially keep learning and stay interested via reading. This is a great video, I really appreciate it.

[@taphh8344]

I love the way that you make a own introspection about your habits, it's like you invert time thinking how do you feel and translate it in wisdom for others, thank you!!

As a 16 year old teen i have all these habits except cooking (i do make tea for me and my family sometimes)..😇😌😌

[@kenstarthree-six5429]

I had to move out to live on my own when I was 19, I'm 29 now. I'll share 3 things I've learned so far. 1. Stand up for yourself. This may seem irrelevant to 'adulting' or even as a habit, but standing up for yourself takes practice, and it protects your mind and time. It allows you to focus on what matters, and in time, prepares you to stand up for other people (children, spouse, friends, etc.). 2. Track your money. How many times have you said or heard "I need to stop spending so much on coffee" or " I need to stop eating out so much"? How much went where, exactly? Eating out cost X dollars but shaved time off your schedule. Monthly "treat-yo-self" trips to the mall gave you 24 hours of happiness. 3. I had to repeat what Jenn pointed out- meditation. Pay less mind to your posture, and more to the passing/lingering thoughts. Wisdom can be achieved this way. You start to observe yourself more closely. In time, it becomes habitual to observe people/events rather than acting immediately by default. To Jenn, this is the first and ngl probably the only video of yours I'd watch, but I've been thinking about writing my story for a long time. Until I heard the way you explained it, I think it's about time. Thank you.

[@NikoletaAnderlova]

Walking and talking to other people was another good change I made that I can recommend apart from those you've already mentioned. Made me realize other people are also lost, scared and wanting to feel accepted and loved and you both can become stronger. It taught me a lot.

[@Commelaviepasse]

To deal with anxiety I have to center myself with counter phrases : grounding myself in remembering at the end of the day as long as my loved ones and myself are healthy and happy in the present, the thing I am worrying about is smaller in comparison. This is something I am practicing into habit! Protecting my peace!

[@elipena2920]

Great habits, I'll add conscious breathing, drinking water, cold showers, and earthing/sunbathing. If you realize is every practice that connects us to the elements.

[@itsnotaphasemom4789]

Thank you. I am not quite an adult yet but adulting has always scared me. I will start these habits now to improve my mind and behavior.

[@SiLeNtReFlEcTiOn]

Jenn, you inspired me to regularly meditate and read back when I was working my old toxic job. It really saved me from my chronic over thinking and general anxiety. I also started eating healthier when you started uploading more cooking vids. You’re always helping me evolve and grow throughout the years. I can’t thank you enough ♥️ Your videos are always a joy to watch!

my favorite habit of mine as a college student is to have a whiteboard and write down "this week's plans" and "things to do" and the classes I am taking so I can keep track. this is one of my organizational skills that I love to do!

[@stardust103]

As I tip I think it is really helpful when you have to do something like paperwork or some chore, and you do it as soon as possible and just say to yourself that it's probably only gonna take like 10 minutes. even if it turns out a little longer than that, for me it helps to trick my brain and don't let myself procrastinate, just get it over with so I don't even have to think about it anymore.

[@imjennim]

This is such a great tip!!

[@ani-no2wh]

I have to say I clicked on this video randomly had never seen your channel before and I really enjoyed it. While ive heard all of these habits before and practiced them myself on and off throughout the years, your videography and the way you explain them on such a human level with your own insight instead of just quoting facts and in a sense putting yourself in a glorified position (like ive seen others do) cause you practiced them, made this video such a safe and inspiring space.

Love these!! I do earthing/ grounding daily and it has the same effect as meditation. It also reduces inflammation in the body and makes you overall healthier. I noticed my personality has changed from it, I don’t care what people think, I don’t worry about much at all and I so much happier. Earthing is just touching your bare-feet to the grass or using an earthing mat, blanket or even shoes to ground yourself as much as possible throughout the day. I would highly recommend, it’s like being in a calm state and connected to the earth all the time like humans were designed to be. Shoes keep us from connecting so that is why everyone has adrenal fatigue and all kinds of health issues caused by inflammation.

[@paisleygarrett1975]

morning walks! they have been a cornerstone for my creativity/wellness. sometimes it has been just the thing to give me space for an idea to come into fruition, or its given me time to slow down to be present during tumultuous seasons. whatever it is - walking in my local park is a big 'adulting' habit for me ;p. beautiful vid btw!

Oh my gosh I felt you when you said you have been wanting to touch your toes forever! I have always been the least inflexible person I know and whenever I told people I couldnt touch my toes they were like... Wut (0.o)? But this year and end of 2022 it changed for me! I started doing yoga here and there and stretching a bit but you know what else that surprised me? I started wearing a style of "barefoot" shoe which means they are flat on the bottom with no extra height from your heel to your toes, they are very flexible to walk in, and there is lots of room for your toes. Now even when I dont stretch for days I can still touch my toes and I was happy but confused how all of a sudden my flexibility changed! When you wear shoes like that it naturally stretches your achiles, hamstrings, and calves as you walk! Made a huge difference in my life

I just have to say that I’ve never seen that lime green color look so right on anyone else, it’s perfect

[@PraseenaPrabhakar]

all of this resonates with the struggle or growing into an adult phase for me. Loved the entire vlog. Please, please do a part 2, 3, 4. It helps so much

Sleep is definitely an issue for me in adulthood. I can’t stay asleep and have tried/resorted to medication. Definitely affects me daily when I can’t stay asleep for long.

Writing my emotions down really helped me a lot! Sometimes when you think it is really a big problem, however, you find it is just a small issue after u write them down

[@charlotterose41196ch]

They act as building blocks so I can understand the world better at my own pace is my favourite thing you said. You have a very calming voice aswell ❤ thank you for the tips!

I'm 18 and just graduated high-school with no older siblings or parents who are willing to help me figure out all the decisions and changes I'm going to have to make in the next couple years going forward I really appreciate this video

[@Asrashas]

I've had quite the opposite experience with writing. I can not really bother writing for myself. Or I could not in the past. Maybe that's changed, now. I'd have to try. I'm going through uncertain times, not knowing whether the relationship I have/had will continue/come back. We had a period of not contacting each other. And in that time I took up writing. But addressed to her or with her as reader in mind, not me. And even now after we have contact again, and I wait for her to end the uncertainty one way or the other, I still write with her in mind. It has helped me a lot so far.

You're so wholesome Jenn, I find myself laughing at your remarks and comments - remembering a lot of those insightful experiences and experimenting with those types of activities helped me with elevating my awareness/knowledge and health (and deep depression) despite being a guy, I found that the norm was to run away from your feelings and avoid these types of activities all together as they are "feminine" traits but I found it to be enduring and nurturing, which I think it's vital to growth - I find it a refreshing reminder that being genuine, authentic, and wholesome/down to earth has been one of my values in life I forgot to cultivate, and I think a lot of the things you listed are things that have helped me become a better version of myself 100%. All really great reminders/recommendations!

[@moisi93894]

you helped me actually understand the reason why everyone says that "you have to learn to cook to be more independent" or "you have to do a sports activity because you need to be in good shape", and a lot of times they mean it well but it ends up feeling forced and you feel like it's an obligation, but with the way you explained things I actually felt motivated to try some of them, so thank you so so much!❤

[@hapikohw]

Oooh the video editing is getting better and better, and I don't know how you top it!

[@vaidehisharma650]

always helpful.. I always leave feeling fresh

[@nathananderson8720]

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my KZbin channel 6 months ago about self development. Now I have 541 subs and > 100 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 could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.

[@sonjasch3970]

For me, it's definitely been actively improving my mental health. For example, I remind myself to use kind words when I look into the mirror, instead of dragging myself down.

[@mkymmie]

you were the one who got me into meditating and just being aware of how i’m feeling and taking control of my emotions and well-being. the me this year and the me 2 years ago are two different humans, experiencing a different quality of life now. i’ve even started reading so much because of you! you are really like a the big sister so many of us needed

[@RajsriRagupathy]

really like you talking . it is so calming to watch your video. glad I found your channel todayy

[@nicolereosti9185]

Jenn, I resonate with your point of view in regards to reading! I am currently in college and love reading but cannot pick up a book for the life of me because I am drowning with assigned readings, textbooks, etc. But summer is approaching; we'll see how I fair! Adulting wise, habits that have changed my life and have helped me tackle emotions and personal growth include daily exercise, ones that really make you sweat. My husband and I enjoy Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. It is a physical chess game. It blows my mind, how often we will go over a topic that I have already learned and retained but I will notice and new, small detail that changes everything for that position. Other habits include, weekly cleaning and regularly washing the laundry when the hamper becomes full instead of waiting for the end of the week. There's more, but this is already a novel... so I'll spare some details.

[@artyshefartsy]

Jen. The shots of you laying down in the beginning were absolutely stunning. Your videos are so fun to watch and I learn so much from them! You’ve really inspired me to take steps towards becoming the best version of myself. I was feeling a little in a rut with no idea where to go or how to change, but this gave me the confidence boost I needed :) thank you so much for being my big sister I can always go to, your videos help me more than you’ll ever know!❤

[@nickdesu9794]

Girl, I've been doing the EXACT SAME THINGS for a whole year now, and let me tell you all: doing all that is awesome, and it makes a difference. I came to this video to see if there was anything I could insert into my routine, but wow I didn't expect that.

[@fandebudget9778]

All the habits you stated I am doing that already except writing. My new habits are now waking up early because I have so much to do during the day. I can have a time for myself in the morning before starting my day with work and other stuff. Also, I started listen classical music (Beethoven and otthers) is making me calm, relax, peaceful, less stress.

[@srhhaleyaa]

oh my God!! the writing one is sooo trueeee Jen! like i have been writing spontaneously at some point in my life and i can't stop doing that ever since. It's like the thoughts and words are endless and i just pour everything on my writing as if i'm making a documentary of myself haha

[@florablake949]

Hi Jenn just discovered your channel. Your content seems very interesting. I'm looking forward to see the watch the rest of your channel. Your video was on my For You page, at a moment in my life where things are moving fast... I'm turning 18 in a few months and inspire to enter med school in September. I need new habits for my personal life outside of my academics and your advices are just perfect. Thank you so much. It feels good to see other people implementing new strategies to grow, I feel less lonely in the process. Thank you so much
