HOW TO *actually* LIVE A SOFT LIFE: REAL tips to live a soft life while working full time

[@7779311sassy]

As a working mom I really appreciate this video! Most “soft-life” videos made me feel bad because I didn’t marry a millionaire husband but thanks for making this soft life routine based in reality 😂❤

[@kristidoingthings]

😂 Girl...the TikTok girlies be tripping, lol! So glad it resonated with you!

[@alexisseals2238]

Yyyyaaasssss to THIS COMMENT!!!!!!! FROM one WORKING single mother . Love the comment ladies and love you Kris!!!!

[@finalcountdown3210]

As a man, I wholeheartedly and genuinely just want a comfortable life with my family

[@kristidoingthings]

That's a very solid and attainable goal!

[@veronicasw4915]

Love that tip to get out in nature. It is so healing to do that.

[@kristidoingthings]

So healing!!! ❤️

[@TheClutterLady]

Being constantly on the go can slow you down by causing so much stress that it leads to being sick or burnt out. And it slows you more and longer than slowing down each day or week. Love this video and idea!

[@kristidoingthings]

So true! Me and constantly rushing (from thing to thing and trying to function at my max all the time) are NOT compatible.

[@KappaCow]

My biggest problem is a constant revolving door of being stressed out - then I try to take it easy and enjoy my life and for some reason feel guilty like I should be doing more, or I'm too ungrateful, then back to being stressed out again

[@kristidoingthings]

I COMPLETELY understand that! For me, I have to actively give myself permission to rest and remind myself that God didn’t design me to go 24-7 until I burn out. And during the busy seasons I have to intentionally build it into my schedule. Hang in there ❤️

I love this quote!

[@laelae2408]

As a single parent and a student I’m glad I found your page

[@kristidoingthings]

Aww, thank you so much! I’m glad you’re here! ❤️❤️

[@heathersohappy2833]

Your content is binge-worthy! Not even 30 seconds in & you're bringing wisdom (Ecclesiastes style) and have me laughing (Santa spitting cash).

[@kristidoingthings]

🤣🤣🤣 Thank you so much!!!! I really appreciate it! ❤️

[@denatyeatsnuggets7274]

Wow! This video struck some chords. I've never been able to set boundaries and I let other people take up all my time, getting me sick, unable to finish tasks or whatnot... I also didn't know there was a "soft life" thing and the hustling mindset always tore me apart. Thank you for your words and I'll be sticking around to hear more of them ☺️

[@cherylsHTX]

I don't have anything to say, but thank you so much for this. I really needed to hear this and here you are! P.S. You look so pretty in pink!

[@Only1QueenOfEverything]

Great minds think alike! I literally said pink is Kristi’s color! 💖 The message is on point! 🎯

[@kristidoingthings]

So glad that you said something. I think so many times we get these ideas in our head of “success” that constantly make feel like we can’t get there. And thank you so much!!! So ready for all the spring colors!

[@SeasonalLivingwithLeo]

This!! I'm so glad you addressed this issue and the first thing you said about soft life not being about the culture of being a kept luxurious woman is what kept me from thinking a soft life was for me. I'm so glad to find teachers like yourself who actually empower regular women to achieve a soft life.

[@kristidoingthings]

Aww, I’m so glad it helped! You completely deserve to and absolutely can tap into the soft girl lifestyle with a job ❤️

[@kittygrowl839]

Your “extreme example” is exactly where I am right now. I’m starting my new job in a few days. I want to get in the mindset of having a soft life and also accomplishing my goals and your video is sooooo helpful. Thank you love Also really great tip on finding ways for others to help me. Historically I try to do it all on my own and I get burned out. Def gonna sign up for a meal delivery service

[@kristidoingthings]

Accept that help, girl! There is nothing wrong with delegating and focusing your energy on what's most vital to you. Hope the new job is going well!

[@melissakennedy8467]

When you said procrastination builds anxiety, that is the truth! Mh husband is a procrastinater & it drives me nuts because I'm not. I like planning my days. I have anxiety issues as it is so me having a list & trying to go by it & a schedule helps. Him procrastinating kills me inside lol

[@kristidoingthings]

😂 very understandable! I’ve learned to accept that other people don’t function the way I do, and sometimes the way I function doesn’t work for other people. But as long as it doesn’t hurt them or us or our family business…we have to let them do them.

[@alchemythroughsisterhood]

Yes!! I’m working towards living a soft life ❤🎉

[@kristidoingthings]

You got this!

[@mimizackery]

Here for this; love living the soft life!

[@kristidoingthings]

Same, girl!!! 😂

[@lynny397]

Thank u for this content, sis. God knew I needed to hear your message today🙏❤️

[@kristidoingthings]

You're so welcome! I'm really happy it was what you needed. Go live your soft life, girl!

[@karalaughbaum1201]

This is such a great video. Thank you! So many videos on this topic can tend to be unrealistic.

[@kristidoingthings]

You're so welcome! It is my goal to make it realistic and attainable.

[@suzannesteele1275]

Excellent message! Setting boundaries is so important. Thank you! 💜

[@kristidoingthings]

Thank you!!! It really is so necessary in living the life we want to live!

[@evanjosue1]

What is a soft life.?

[@kristidoingthings]

Basically the opposite of hustle culture.

[@BringTheRuckusPodcast]

My life is soft and at ease, because I'm a Black man about to married a Black woman. Black love matter ❤❤❤

[@laurenjacobs7862]

just had your channel pop up suggested to me and i love how you present these ideas. it seems achievable and realistic. thank you.

[@kristidoingthings]

Yes, that’s the goal- to take care of ourselves and honor our needs in realistic and achievable ways! So happy you enjoyed!

[@landesproperties]

Oh my goodness, you are a wonderful breath of fresh air - I am so grateful for you!

[@kristidoingthings]

Aww, thank you so much!!! I really appreciate your kind words.

[@PenniP]

Love this video. I want a slower, softer life. However, I feel I couldn’t because I have a job, a home, a husband, a side business etc.

[@kristidoingthings]

It requires some thought and intentionality, but it can be done. Wishing you the best! 💛

[@Sageandgold]

Both creates the balance you need to treat yourself softly 😊

[@kristidoingthings]

THIS!!!! ♥️

[@chandracriswell7154]

Enjoyed your video. I struggle with procrastinating on some things I need done. I’m going to try start your suggestion, starting with the small items 🧐.

[@kristidoingthings]

Yes, start small. I really helps to build some traction. Best of luck!!! ♥️

[@aprildavis5368]

I’m grateful I found this ! Mom of 3 little ones. Married and work full time and just opened my own private practice part time. My regular job is mentally exhausting to the point of muscle tension while at work and the kids also trigger much stress at home. Do you recommend a certain planner that you have found beneficial?

[@kristidoingthings]

Girl, you have a lot going on! And you deserve to give yourself some extra love. This feels like a shameless plug, it's not, lol. But I do have a video that you might find helpful. It's about finding where you have time when it feels like you don't have time. I'll link here in case it's helpful. kzbin.info/www/bejne/baTYoIyYoNiLj8ksi=6oEtXeJfckozktWp As for a planner, I think that they can be so individual. For me, I have been THE most consistent with planning by using either a simple notebook to brain dump all my tasks, or using my digital planner on my Ipad. But the magic in it has been having it as part of my routine each day because I know it helps me to not feel so anxious about all the things I have going on.

[@Only1QueenOfEverything]

This video stirred my soul….timely! 🙏🏽💛🌻

[@kristidoingthings]

Love this! Want women to feel this is attainable 😊

[@GOkinaGo701]

Love love love this video! I'm trying to get out of that go go go hustle mentality! God has been telling me to rest and slow it down aka have a softer life, so im definitely tuned into this video 😂❤❤

[@kristidoingthings]

Aww, thank you! And amen! Listen to Him!!!

[@theladyglo4477]

A soft life is a happy life 😊

[@kristidoingthings]

It really is!♥️

[@LuvEbonee]

Luv how you spoke on this 💖

[@kristidoingthings]

Thank you!!! ☺️

[@kimmyt1087]

Love all your videos! So glad to see your channel is growing. ❤️🥰💃🏾

[@kristidoingthings]

Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate your support and so glad to hear that you're still enjoying! 💛

[@selmajohnson2727]

Kristi in the house! ☺️🦋

[@kristidoingthings]

Lol 😂 always!

[@kittygrowl839]

The intro has me excited asf to listen.

[@cheesycorndog2874]

Great video thank you!!

[@kristidoingthings]

Thank you so much!!!

[@LovelyWeirdo17]

I just love the “we don’t do dumb things” disclaimer 😂

[@kristidoingthings]

😂😂😂

[@teachthem4ever]

Maybe I will expound on this later but this is a BLESSING. THANK YOU. God hears me.

[@kristidoingthings]

Aww, I'm so glad! He definitely does!

[@aacc8466]

lol I guess the algorithm thought I needed a laugh so I got recommended this.. nice

[@kristidoingthings]

Thanks for helping the algorithm out with your comment! Be blessed 😊

[@Adalyn-x1m]

Tysm😊

[@kristidoingthings]

You’re so welcome 🤗

[@Thepeoplereact]

I realized I could live a soft life when started making more than 95k with my 9-5. I start my days early, I have a routine, eat healthy, put my bills on autopay, etc. it’s possible depending on the person! Yes! It’s a mindset!!!

[@kristidoingthings]

When I started thinking this way, I was able to do it on less than $40K as a full time PhD student and part time research assistant. I was single/no kids, but mindset really is such a powerful thing.

[@Sageandgold]

Proud of you sis

[@kristidoingthings]

Thanks so much!!! 😊

[@rameishacoleman1814]

I absolutely love this video!❤️

[@kristidoingthings]

Yay!!!! I’m so happy to hear!!! What resonated most with you?

[@Ztrangeart]

Thank you for this video beautiful ❤

[@kristidoingthings]

So happy you enjoyed it!

[@kposas1]

To put my needs first

[@kristidoingthings]

Or at the very least, ensure that you ARE taking care of your needs ❤️

[@kristagearhart9617]

Loved this. Subscribed!❤

[@kristidoingthings]

Aww, welcome!!! ♥️♥️♥️ So happy that you enjoyed!

[@fenwickc2274]

"soft life" is this a cultural thing or something ?

[@lilwavesz]

it’s more of a tik tok thing

[@finalcountdown3210]

Just the opposite of hustle-culture

[@elijahwilliams6026]

It’s a paradox in black economics… which is also a paradox

[@Satorugojo3-e4f]

COMMENTING ON EVERY VID ON MY FYP TO BECOME FAMOUS PT:23

[@kristidoingthings]

What a fun challenge for yourself. Does this mean you've commented on 23 videos?!?!

[@MomalaWalz]

Life is not soft. Life is a harsh experience for everyone

[@kristidoingthings]

[@starblazer05]

I respect your right to label or define your life how you like, but your video does not sound like you are living a "soft life".

[@kristidoingthings]

Thank you for sharing

[@RedDeaTh9O9-ub1bn]

This real?

[@kristidoingthings]

[@ChuckDeniyo]

talk about some unreal-life cushioning to your ego.

[@kristidoingthings]

[@sebastiansorondo4440]
