As busy women, we sometimes wear our "busyness" as a badge of honor. I am still , at age 70, trying to stop thinking that I need to cross off everything on my "to do list"! Take care of yourself ladies!

[@catherinecorn2371]

Yeesssss!!!!! When did " over busy" become SUCH a badge of honor for women?! Was it the 20's? The 40's? The 80's? I remember my mom being so busy that she wouldn't eat and it really wrecked her health, physical, mental and even spiritual!

[@katherinec7698]

Growing up all stores, except some gas stations and grocery stores (only food was sold), were closed on Sundays. I think this helped families rest. We had a slow, calm day together. I miss those days.

[@elisabethensor8460]

The game changer for me and resting was when I studied The Sabbath in the Bible! It’s incredible how our Heavenly Father planned this for us and also was the example to rest after creation ❤ an entire day to not work has been life changing for me. It’s almost hard to not work but I made a list of things that relax me and try to have extra family time- I prep Fridays and clean our home and rest Saturdays😊

My mom used to tell us that every women's should spend one day a week in total rest. You reminded me. I hope you are well soon. The viruses this year are hitting hard. And for those of us thst were worn down to start with, your right its s great opportunity to reassess and take good care of ourselves. Thank you, c

Pneumonia is not like having the flu, nor having a cold. Recovery, energy takes quite awhile ( few months) so it's important to stay patient. Patience is a 'superpower'.

I didn't know she had pneumonia. You are correct, it needs to be taken seriously.

[@Karen-ve6ds]

@@marguerittetwinkle3624 I agree. My mother passed away due to pneumonia. She wasn’t that old, only 66. I live with the regret and guilt that I didn’t know how sick she was. I didn’t live in the same part of the country so I didn’t see her before she was admitted to hospital. After she was, I did see her; on a ventilator in the ICU. It progressed quickly. That’s how I know just how serious it is.

[@marguerittetwinkle3624]

@@Karen-ve6ds OMG, I am very sorry for your loss, Karen. You should not feel guilty, she is your mother, so if you knew how serious it was, of course you would've acted differently, how you said...I hope you can feel peace in your heart, I imagine your mom would want the same too. May God set you free from all the pain and guilt 🙏❤️

I am a huge coffee drinker, but when I'm sick, I cannot drink it- it tastes awful. I only drink hot tea. Glad you are feeling better and hopefully coffee will taste good to you again soon!

[@erinfoley9965]

BASIC - that's my word for 2025. My hubby and I want to get back to basics. Now in our mid-forties, we have realized we were happiest when I didn't take on too much, want too much, use tech too much, plan too much, think about food too much! I too have the same productivity problem and always looked at rest as being lazy. Not true! For me, I have discovered adult coloring books and I really just love them.

[@shannonmccoy9103]

I'm sorry to hear you have been so sick. Several years ago I had the same experience and also lost my appetite and desire for coffee. Happily my desire for it returned for I love my morning coffee! Rest is crucial for recovery. Best wishes for the new year and I look forward to your videos this year!

[@pam3744]

Fasting 16:8 is best for me too - not interested in anything else. It’s basically 3 meals a day and nothing after 5-6:00 pm. Thank you and Happy New Year!

[@MtHa-yu2sf]

Rest is so important. I need to find ways to quiet my mind and welcome rest. Wishing you all the best with this endeavor ❤

[@dayday8332]

I’m doing it too. 2025, the year to stay healthy!💕

[@AddieV2024]

My goals are very similar to yours, Jennifer! Along the same lines of slowing down and being more peaceful living, I’m simplifying even more than I already have… which looks like: being on social media less (no scrolling!), unfollowing unnecessary accounts. Simplifying every aspect of my routine…capsule meal plans, workout routines, entertainment, friends/family, and of course wardrobe!! Quality over quantity is my mantra for 2025!! 🎉

[@kayte775]

So happy you addressed the changing up of 16:8 as I find that as well…I just do better all around keeping it 16:8 without changing it up. Made my day/week/year to know it’s not just me! Thank you for sharing this. 🤗😘

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

I think that the switching up technique is better for more extreme fasts, but not necessary for 16:8...

[@yolandasilverio1205]

Since I have started Intermittent Fasting, I stopped drinking coffee totally since I must have sugar with coffee. I now drink tea, and love it. I even go to Afternoon Teas with a friend. I have learned to drink many different teas. They are amazing. I also started exercising again. After stop doing Yoga which I did for many years, I am now doing Pilates and it is amazing how stiff my body is. And another thing I am doing for my Inner Peace is committing to Prayer. Prayer rests my Inner Sou. Thanks again for all your tips.

[@ashleyslack5960]

Good for you - so so good for people to stop with yoga. Exorcists warn against it because it can be a portal for the demonic which can also hurt your health. Pilates = good. Stretching is fine, but not yoga "poses" and chants/mantras

[@bea.titite]

A very good plan for 2025. As far as I'm concerned my résolution for 2025 is also " trouver la paix intérieure". I'm always in the rush to do things and I don't find time to rest. So, I want for this year, be present each day and not think at all the tasks I have to do later. Be in the present moment even I organize my days. I also want to live more outside : walk, pic nic, garden. And read 50 books. Take this time for me

[@Proverbs-tq6cu]

If you don’t rest, your body will force you to. I learned this when I had a stroke at 30. Right now, I’m being reminded of that. I’m on bed rest at 36 with a geriatric pregnancy after baby loss and I’m used to doing so much and, now, I have to do almost everything lying down. I’m very thankful for the care I’m receiving from my husband and a friend and this has been so good in changing my perspective and humbling me.

Several years ago I developed a painful foot problem. I had to rest with my feet up for an hour of so every afternoon. I read, crochet, or watch videos. This has been wonderful for my IBS also. Our bodies need a break during the day!

[@RitaMichele-n7g]

Yes, I have often planned my comeback when I was sick in bed! My word of the year is restoration. I need to focus on better sleep hygiene, stop over consuming sugar, and move my body through dance, stretching, and working with free weights. Also need to read more and spend less time online...

[@patricialobos1263]

Everything you said resonates with me.

[@giulianaspagnuolo-obaidi4281]

Yes, for me, too, the desire for coffee is completely replaced with repulsion when I am sick. I usually know I am slightly unwell if I wake up in the morning and feel unable to drink coffee, or even think of doing so!

[@deinamorgan413]

I’m happy to see your feeling better, I’ve been battling this along with you so your speaking from my heart, even down to not wanting coffee and drinking tea and loss of appetite, I had lost 8 lbs!We are the same age and I also have young children so I know rest is something we have to make a point to do. Thank you for posting these, they are very encouraging. 2025 is going to be great! But it has to start with me and healthy boundaries and habits otherwise I feel I can’t be present the way I want to be.

[@karendavidson763]

Jennifer, when I had influenza, I was in bed for 2 weeks. I was never so sick in my life. Very little appetite and couldn’t drink coffee for about a month but it came back❤ god bless you as you continue to recover!

[@Rosie_C]

Oh dear!! I cannot imagine. I was devastated that the flu got me down for a week.

[@crterwil]

😢oh Jennifer. Do take care! I know so many who also have pneumonia. It is going around. Healing takes time and I too am impatient with recovering. Prayers for healing ❤

"Plotting my comeback" Lol, I love it! I am the same way! I woke up sick on NYE and am SLOWLY on the mend, so I too have been plotting my comeback. My word of the year is "Active" and it is driving me crazy that I can't do anything toward that yet. I hope you fully recover soon!

[@sheilasalcines8023]

Hi Jennifer, I'm very thankful you take the time to share with us and I hope and pray you will have your health restored completely very soon. I have had the flu in bed several days last week appetite completely gone and no desire for coffee at all. I still don't want it. Eating now though..Its slow convalescencing . I'm also wanting to do the same things you speak of. If you don't have your health, life just comes to a standstill. Its got to be a priority. Thanks always for being the sunshine on foggy day🌞🌟😍

I had pneumonia over Christmas as well. I had it for over 3 weeks and I didn’t want my coffee either! I find it interesting that you said this too. We have a snow day here in Ohio, so extended Christmas break. Back to school for work for me this week and hoping to stay healthy. I have a new plan with my Peloton and hope to get back in a good routine with the house too! Love this video.

[@dianaholbrook]

Thanks for sharing your goals! It inspires me! Mine: Exercise-- Jessica Smith’s Best Year Yet program Diet -- only fruit for dessert after evening meal. Aim for 10gm fiber and 20gm protein for breakfast. Lunch is unfortunately usually leftovers from evening meal but aiming for healthy meals that my family eats and are healthy. Dessert only at afternoon tea. Rest -- stop doing housework or work at 8pm

[@Thekatedelaney]

I also lose my taste for coffee when I’m sick, I want tea or orange juice when not feeling well. I hope you’re on the mend Jennifer! May 2025 be a great year for everyone 🎉

[@Rosie_C]

I heard a helpful message from Dr. Josh Axe right before Christmas. “Let go of perfection.” I’m the oldest in a large family and have a very strong type A personality. I love making sure everything is perfectly done and nothing gets missed. All December, I chose to prioritize sleep and others and I have no regrets. Instead of staying up late to work on projects I desperately wanted to do, I would just go to sleep. Instead of doing projects in my own little home where I live alone, I would stop what I was doing to go help family for a few hours. Thankfully, I made it to Christmas without catching any viruses and I got to be such a blessing to others by having energy and covering for those who were weak or sick. (Note: the children I nanny did give me the flu a couple days after Christmas, but what do you expect when someone with an infection repeatedly coughs in your face? 🙈) My point is that it was hard to let go of my lists, but the good health was worth it.

[@maryelizabeth6542]

I lost my desire for coffee and other things when I had Covid in the past, but it came back pretty quickly. Hope you feel better soon.

[@weronika9255]

I have had the exact same experience with varying my fast. I prefer a stable routine, obviously with some flexibility for travel, holidays, important events etc. It feels so validating to hear someone else feels the same way!

[@juliemoore6957]

Me too, Jennifer. I push myself beyond my energy just to check off another item on the to-do list. I was sick for about a week up to Christmas day. Same illness...but luckily didn't end up with pneumonia. 6 days just down. My tastes buds were totally affected. Nothing tasted good. God bless you, and here's to listening to our bodies and resting when we need to!

[@barbarajarnagin8601]

Lots of us got sick this year. It took me about 6 weeks to get better. Glad you are improving too!

I love my rebounder!! I use mine almost every day. Weights too. Gotta keep our bones healthy.

[@Karen-pe6oc]

I am happy to hear that you are healing. It seems you used your "down time" wisely. Thank you for sharing your healthy aims for 2025. Meal planning is my nemesis, a habit I seek to cultivate. May 2025 keep you healthy. Happy New Year.

[@kelleyamador8838]

I’ve experienced a strong distaste for coffee when sick as well and I typically love a nice strong cup in the morning. Our body craves very nutritious and healthy broths and foods when sick, it’s normal!

[@sul9399]

I too had pneumonia 6 months ago. Not unusual to not want to drink/eat what you typically like. It will get better. Resting is so important. Ease back and be kind to your body

[@elizabethmarie7828]

I think it's pretty normal to not want coffee when you're under duress. When I feel really sick all I want to eat and drink are really nourishing things like lemon honey tea, chicken broth, cooked vegetables of some sort, toast with butter, fruit, cheese etc. I don't want coffee for at least the first two days of a cold until I start feeling better

[@juliecarns]

Hello Jennifer, Please extend yourself the grace to rest as you would encourage it for others. You mention feeling rushed quite often and perhaps your body is Keeping The Score as a book title says. If we all went back to Sunday as a day of rest, we’d all be a little stronger.

[@mrs.shockley]

I started Pilates Reformer about 2 months ago and love it! Once a month I do take their Rebounder class and man does that kick my butt!

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

I can't imagine taking a class. I usually only jump for 10 minutes. I might be over it after that! haha

[@mrs.shockley]

@TheDailyConnoisseur , lol! It's an hour class! It levels me!

[@karlynpeterson2871]

I'd love to hear more about your strategies to regulate your nervous system this year, as I too can get caught up in frazzled stress and in 'busy' mode. Inner peace is such a good mantra to have for the year!

[@careyj4471]

Hi Jennifer- I laughed out loud when you said “plotting my comeback” because I do the same thing 😂 I have had pneumonia many times over the years and have found the recovery takes longer than my comeback plans. When I started to feel better but I get going like the Energizer Bunny but then “hit the wall” or worse, relapse. So now I alternate resting activity like one hour and one hour off. And if I still feel tired after my 1 hour rest then I stay in bed and hope and pray that the next day I can get back to alternating. But if I am tired all day for 2days then I give myself a pep talk “ok I had one “lazy” day, let’s put that in the bank and make sure tomorrow is more active than not.”

[@goddessmel8518]

Spending 10 minutes EVERY DAY doing something active is my goal for this year. That's the floor, not the ceiling, and is designed to convince my brain that I can manage to move each day, 10 minutes is not that much of my whole day, and hopefully build from there. Also building active commuting into my routine - so cycling or walking to catch the bus - rather than relying on driving / my husband chauffeuring me - to not just add more movement to my day but also live more sustainably by reducing my reliance on fossil fuels.

[@shaunaleessnackidies]

It helps to make quarterly goals that are more specific and set weekly reminders ❤ feel better soon! I know fasts can be way harder for women due to our hormones, it’s so not good for me. I totally do the do nothing break in the day, so helpful!

[@eugeniamaldonado7075]

Awesome ideas. Hope You’re feeling better already. I too plan to add rest; will definitely be a challenge as a mom and wife but will be intentional about it. Thanks for the reminder. ❤

[@glorianelson9538]

I'm so glad you are feeling better Jennifer. I think I commented on the last video about the "word"for 2025 mentioning TIME as my "word" for 2025. For me that means not to be so stressed out and rushing all the time, everything a matter of life and death-like laundry... and take time to rest and do things that bring me joy. It's also so great that you are exercising and lifting weights! I truly love to exercise and running has been a big part of my daily routine for almost 40 years. Heavy weight lifting has also enormously benefited my bones so I strongly recommend that you continue with your program increasing the weight as you progress under the supervision of your trainer. I hope you recover completely soon!

[@christinewelch8365]

I do Trainwell too. For the last 14 months. I love it! My husband is away for 10 days and I decided to declutter, clean and reorganize my house. It is 7 days in and I am exhausted. Lying in bed planning how to get the last 3 rooms done!!! Yikes!!

Glad you are on the mend. Love the Rebounding idea. May have to look into that. My plan is to be consistent with my Healthy habits, $Starting with Meditation, Gratitude & getting plenty of sleep. I am also adding Fun movement every other day like Dancing, swimming or climbing stairs at a venue or event.

[@GreenVolley8-d6m]

I can totally relate Jennifer! I had pneumonia over the summer for what felt like 2 months. I was thinking the whole time that I need to exercise and eat healthier so my immune system can handle a bug better. I don’t get sick much, so it was a shock. I hope you get back to 100% soon!

[@allieblank5992]

Thank you Jennifer for sharing your thoughts and also those who left their comments. Food for thought ❤

[@myname7303]

I totally agree with what you said on rest. I was in a time in my life where J acted as energized bunny from battery commercials. I paid no attention to my body and self awareness. I was on the go. Moreover I considered people who rested during day being lazy. Until I crushed. I started to experience panic attacks. My therapist cutest rest and listening to my body. On the beginning I forward myself to take daily 30 min naps and I could not believe the results. I can’t nap during the day anymore but I take time during the day to rest. Sometimes it means seat down, close my eyes and be aware of my body and my thoughts. I’m asking myself how am I feeling. This daily experience not only helped me but my loved ones to as I am much calmer person now. Ladies we need to take care of ourselves first before we take can of our family and friends. I wish everyone happy and healthy 2025. Jennifer thank you for what you’re doing😊

[@brookel6513]

On the not wanting coffee while sick...that is the first sign both for me and my mom that we are sick. We just don't have a desire at all for coffee and we are major coffee drinkers. Also, I've been watching Poirot over my Christmas break. It's been so nice. I used to watch it as a kid and still love it.

So happy you are feeling better. Yes, a rare couple times over the years, I have been so sick that coffee was awful and I found that very strange, because I would rather miss food than my morning coffee. I found myself doing the same; thinking about all the things that I wanted to do when I was feeling better. I don't think that was a good idea and caused my body stress. Instead I made myself just relax and feel grateful that I could lay down and rest/sleep to get well. I need to really step up my exercise this year.

Great video! I too read Dr. MIndy's book before you had her on your channel. I tried her way of fasting. It seemed to throw me off rhythm. I gained 8lbs back. I do better with a set daily fast as well. I am glad you said something about it because I thought something was wrong with me.

When I find myself rushing I ask myself why I am rushing as sometimes it’s just a habit I have gotten into and if there is no reason to rush I slow down and enjoy the moment. If there is a reason I am in hurry I ask myself what could i do differently next time to prevent having to rush, such as start task earlier etc (this is one thing I am doing to look after myself)
