15 Easy, Lazy Self Care Routines to Feel Better

[@LivDeSantos]

Thank you for this video! As someone who is completely burnt out right now, I need the smallest self care additions to integrate into my day. A whole new routine is too overwhelming!

[@muchelleb]

I'm so glad it's helpful!! Sending you lots of love.

[@irene2958]

@Livla I hope you will get better soon. Take care of yourself 💛☀️

You're almost single-handedly helping me create the life I want, I can honestly feel such a difference in my lived experience these days. Thank you so much for these videos (and also for introducing me to notion last year- as a uni student, it totally changed my life!) You're such an inspiration, I literally can't thank you enough.

[@muchelleb]

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment - and I am SO happy that I could make any difference at all. Appreciate you 💛

Something is better than nothing is a great philosophy 👌 “Done is better than perfect” is my favourite quote and such a game changer 💕

Yees, v anti all or nothing thinking - it makes it so much easier to keep anything up.

This video is really helpful. I'm trying to recover from depression and meeting yourself where you're at is like the best mindset ever

[@jamesralph634]

I’ve done non sleep deep rest before without knowing it… now I can do it intentionally!!! Lol

[@120mitchmd]

As a “lazy girl since birth” , YES to all of these! I’ve been doing most of these to survive and thrive but you’ve added some nuggets that are actually gold! Thanks again! 😃🙌🏻

[@irene2958]

Thanks for this video Michelle. I need it, because I'm studying a lot even if it's a holiday. I hope that everyone will relax at least a bit these days. Sending you positive vibes!💚😇💙

[@jessprincess98]

Just the video I needed today! Thank you Michelle ❤️

[@alinabelousova]

From being a productivity junky I am trying to learn to live more slowly: live in the moment, enjoy/savor it and I feel like I need to do more of the self-care routines. Thank you for this video. Maybe you could do a video on slow living as well?

[@leahhatcher2481]

I didnt know non-sleep deep rest is like an actual thing!! naps kinda mess with me but I have found that when I go down for a nap but dont actually fall asleep is like more effective! im going to look more into thisssss!

[@AuraAzarcon]

Coffee and .... muchelleb videos :)

I do many of these, except I call them exhausted single mom self care tidbits. 😏

Hi there

[@lenabillare4443]

I appreciate your video, but for some people it's even more complicated. I have the motivation but my body refuses. I have a chroncle illness and often i can't do the the things even if i want to... For exemple, i one month i injured myself twice : tendonitis. And i have a very demanding work. If i clean on my rest day I can't go out and walk a bit in the sun.

[@sccrespoc]

I feel you, it is so hard with a demanding job and injuries on top, it happened exactly like that to me a few years ago. Just telling you my story in case it helps, not for you to do the same I did but just so you know it is eventually going to get better. I first focus on recovering with physiotherapy (bad twist in the ankle), which left the house a mess and my nutrition in really bad shape. Once my ankle was fine I followed the clean mama routine (her blog explains everything, I didn't buy any of her products only followed ther routine). It took almost a month to get the house in shape, cleaning only half an hour each day means not everything gets done. Once momentum hits, everythig start to get better, but it is slow.

[@lenabillare4443]

@@sccrespoc The issue is that I can't get better for now. I have meds for the pain and the symptômes but no diagnosis. My doctors make me pass tests. It takes time. Even if they find i Will still have neuropathic pain and chronic fatigue. I handle my appartment but it demands so much efforts and organisation. Thanks for your answer. It made my Day.

[@sccrespoc]

@@lenabillare4443 ohh gosh. Chronic fatigue is so hard. I haven't experienced but I recently watched a documentary about it. I hope they can help you. Sending best vibes

Lazy tip - when you make yourself a hot drink, use that as an opportunity to fill up your water bottle. One trip, twice the hydration.

[@swededreams100]

Thank you, Michelle! I appreciate that your advice is always actionable and practical. Your concepts such as doing things for your future self have been really helpful for me! ❤❤

[@keric3673]

I love that you mentioned laying down workouts. I am a wheelchair user so I always look for “sitting exercises” on KZbin. Super random but I love your light switches haha!

[@andelinn]

I have chronic illnesses so finding exercices that I can do sitting or laying down are always harder to find. I definitely feel more seen when she mentioned it 😊

[@froodoftheforest]

Hi @muchelleB - I love these suggestions! I just find one thing confusing - or weirdly contrasting information. If you're going to the effort of changing your inner dialogue through affirmations - why have lots of routines set up for 'lazy girl days'. REaffirming so-called 'laziness'?. Why not call them what they are?! Gentle cleaning days. Gentle workout days. Days where one needs to be gentle with oneself... I'm not lazy because i'm tired! Or overworked, or depressed. It feels like naming them 'Lazy Day..' ONLY reaffirms the shame element and perpetuates the shame cycle of hustle culture. Just a thought anyway

[@muchelleb]

I had a quick thought about this when I posted - I should have explored it more! Ill keep this in mind for future!! Gentle is a muuch better word

[@froodoftheforest]

@@muchelleb Thanks for being open to feedback! I love all your videos - and working on re-framing inner dialogue takes a LOT of work. We're all in it together!! x

Thank you for the tidying information! I have to clean my whole house today and I’m absolutely dreading it. One thing at a time is something that I can do.

Your videos have helped me so much over the years. From getting out of the most depressive episode/lowest point of my life, to now just keeping myself on top of things, your videos have been there to help ❤️ Thank you.

[@jmsl910]

i love your stance on affirmations!! genius. now to craft one that feels authentic...

[@christinemariequigless]

if you're open to it, would you share what you create? Here is mine for the day: I embrace my life with awe, wonder, and gratitude knowing that everything that lands in it is a blessing. ❤

[@jmsl910]

@@christinemariequigless maybe just something short like "i am curious about what comes next"

[@christinemariequigless]

It sounds like a lovely start! What do you feel when you say it? When I say it: I have a small smile and I feel warmth and excitement in a happy way in my stomach. We are feelers-it’s a powerful affirmation that you’ve created, but, does it activate you? 👏🏾

Muchelle, your content is so valuable!! I always feel better/more inspired after watching your videos. Thank you ❤️

[@Lucy-ff2et]

Muchelle, based on your recent morning routine video idea about turning on the lights in the morning, I set Alexa to turn on my bedside lamp 5 minutes after my alarm goes off at 5.45am. That has been so helpful in Getting Me Out of Bed! The dark has always been the stumbling block. But with the light on, it is much easier to go ahead, throw back the covers, and Get Up. Thanks you so much! Love your channel. You have given me so many great ideas about living intentionally. My life is changed for the better.

[@SarahAnn91]

I like to have the one in the corner come on 10 minutes before my alarm and the one next to me with my alarm. My alarm doesn’t wake me up anymore ❤️

[@valleahtraversie1736]

Won't lie, haven't watched in a long time bc battling depression sucks, but this gave me a few new ideas to keep trying. Thank you for your content @muchelleb

[@virtuevelour5106]

Great video! Can I ask where those pants are from? I'm searching for the perfect pair of sustainably made pleated trousers with that kind of fit :) (No luck thrifting just yet)

[@katieswonders8249]

I need to listen at 0.75 speed because my listening is too slow. Great tips tho! :)

[@loytoco]

I write my own affirmations, I agree they should be something that resonate with how you express yourself. I could not do it in the car, though, because my brain goes into deep relaxation by default as soon as I start saying my affirmations, which would make the car drive unsafe. Something to consider, since I assume I am not the only one to whom that happens. I truly appreciate your content. I found your videos a couple of days ago and already got a lot out of them. Thank you.

[@dianamarie3788]

[@christinemariequigless]

Smaller and smaller and smaller! I appreciate the bite-size pieces for projects idea for tasks...this video inspired this idea that we could actually apply it to goals too, like if we let them be as simple as they actually are when we have attained them and are seeing them retrospectively, they seem a lot smaller and almost like "duh". So we try seeing them that way from when we set them...oooh!

[@sabrycarb26]

Haha, I can relate with the Gold Coast thing - but I live in Adelaide, which is much aligned by the eastern states (but is actually awesome)! Best you not watch the latest Jimmy Rees video about GC then ;)

[@muchelleb]

Hahahaha okay I had to watch - that actually doesn't bother me, it feels more like poking fun which is so fine and also a lil bang on. It's when people don't have the self-awareness to realise that they're part of the problem and blame their location. Like yeeees lots of fake tan, lashes, filler, bla bla, but also rainforests!!! beautiful beaches and weather!! cute events at the arts centre!! cute cafes and bakeries!! so many parks n' nature spaces with cute people doing cute things. it's simply not our fault you spend your free time in the wrong places and go out a lot with people you don't like - that's a you problem!! my feelings are strong on this one

[@cutiez4eva1]

Loved this video

[@traversatile3471]

I integrated lying down workouts when I was a kid without realizing it was a whole niche of exercise. I would sit and read books for hours on end which was great for my mind but not for my body and one day I just had the thought, "Why not spend this time better? I can read AND exercise at the same time! I'm such an innovator!" I used that even into college where chapters of textbooks seemed to drag on--breaking it up into one paragraph of wall sits, next one rest, next one bridges, etc. was much better than idly sitting at a desk for hours (and also encouraged me to read quicker so I could rest sooner😅).

[@adorapollard7308]

Oh my god - this video is so good I watched it twice. This speaks to me spiritually - I'm watching again and taking notes. Thank you for this haha I have wanted to be "That girl" for so long but goodness do I suffer from some Lazy Girl energy. Definitely needed this as this managed lazy girl energy is probably about as good as I'm gonna get 🤣

Glad you shared all of them with us girl, really loving the vlog here! Your editing is so beautiful as well! Waking up really early and setting your body clock right is so important, you could do so much for yourself if you wake up really early! Great video!❤

Thank you for sharing this Michelle - I’ve been sick this weekend (not covid thankfully but feeling v run down) and hand in hand with feeling low energy is me feeling like I’m overall waffling through life… that isn’t completely true but work does take a lot of time and energy from me so that my weeknights can leave me sluggish and scrolling and not being v intentional so I’m excited to start using some of these 😌
