No spend SEASONAL self-care! 5 tips in 5 minutes!

[@nataliesandy8916]

Diane I've been watching your videos for a while now - I'm a 35 y/o living in Los Angeles and working in Hollywood, and our lives could not be more different-- but I think you might be the best content creator out there. You are channeling something so important and I think you're just the best. Never stop making videos please!

[@marybendfeldt9596]

I wore my best pink blouse and grandmother’s pearls to teach elementary school today. It made me happy. Now I only wear things I like in colors I like, thanks to you!

Hi Diane we are sitting in a large closet in the center of our FL home under a severe Tornado alert. THIS EMERGENCY is prior to the hurricane which is approaching the west coast of FL and will cross the state late tonight. We have chairs . Radios, cel phones and thankfully our large master closet is neat and tidy...

Hello from Sweden! 👋😃🇸🇪 Which self-care mission appeals to you, or pushes you out of your comfort zone? THANK YOU for liking, subscribing and supporting me by sharing my videos 🙏😊💖 I don't do sponsored content or put ads in the middle of my videos. Everything I do is done by me. Not perfect, but hopefully motivational!

[@jackiebowen6239]

Diane, you are so wonderful, putting your brightness into the world! Your sign-off with the little horses felt so personal, even though you are on a video. I so appreciate what you do! Go you!! 💙

[@GCBookworm]

Ah! The 2 Ronnies 😊 🥰 Today Mum & I both more or less completed our “big seasonal clothes switch” and decluttered a few items. We both gained weight recently so now I get to “warm up” some clothes Mum wants to slim into while enjoying the general cosiness & saying “hello” again to new items. My plan is to FINALLY read Dracula by Halloween. I’ve been really bad at keeping in touch with friends even on a basic level this year so I’m going to schedule a “social hour” every week just to catch up. Church is increasingly important for me as self care and socialisation lately, too. I use the new academic year as a fresh start so I’ve set being kinder to myself & others, “productive relaxation”, a decent sleep schedule, & moving more, as resolutions to achieve by the end of 2024.

[@gwenj5419]

I wrote them all down. Today I'm going to call a friend that I haven't talked to in a while. I always appreciate the author recommendations because I read mostly mysteries too.

[@allisonbrown5585]

As it’s grey and miserable I picked a cosy pink sweater. Dog walk in the rain. Hot shower with my favourite shower gel. Half way through an Ian Rankin book but have picked a Val McDermid - Christmas is murder book next, which I am looking forward to. Thank you for the reminder to keep planning especially the self care which is often the first thing to go. Enjoy your time at the cabin 💕

[@charlapeery632]

Getting outside in my part of Indiana is great self-care. We have a BIG festival in the neighboring county, hundreds of vendors, dozens of yard sales, and beautiful sunny weather. There are certain food treats we only get at this time - persimmon pudding, pumpkin ice cream, handmade ice cream drumsticks, sassafras candy, etc.

[@janeb3024]

Six hours in my sunny garden today. A bit of tidying, a bit of digging, a cappuccino break, five things to the front for the scavengers (four gone before late afternoon - yay!), and supper while looking at the fruits of my labour.😊

Thank you for your continued reminders to do self care. Sometimes life distracts us into thinking everything is more urgent than our mental well being. This week I've set up a phone call with my best friend, am going to wear something bright and uplifting, and do my nails. My house looks pretty good, thanks to Fly Lady and your great example. I'm still working on more letting go and decluttering things hidden in closets and under beds!

I choose to spend time in nature and to wear a special item. Today I went on a nice walk around the neighborhood and on Friday I am going to a beautiful nature reserve to hike and picnic with my husband. I will wear a pair of my mother's earrings tomorrow when we go out to dinner. Thanks for the ideas, Diane.

[@JennyBowden-j2z]

Thank you for the reminders Diana. My husband died 2 months ago and need those reminders especially now.

I haven't been consistent with commenting on your videos, but I never miss them! I am going to plan to wear some of my favorite items of clothing over the next week- I am guilty of always thinking "I will save this for a good occasion" but you are right! Every day is a good occasion!

[@jennyjenkins877]

I just deep cleaned my bedroom and switched the bedding to warm flannel sheets. For further self care, I'm going to start wearing cardigans because it's getting chilly in Canada and we're trying to hold off as long as we can before turning on the heat.

[@ginat535]

It’s finally starting to cool off in the mornings and evenings here in Texas! For self care today I sat outside on my patio reading and enjoying the fresh (and cooler) air. It felt wonderful! Thank you for all that you do. You are an inspiration to me!

I've been enjoying the season by walking outside, reading seasonal books and attending craft shows. The craft shows give me simple ideas on how to repurpose things I already own and the two things I repurposed look really pretty. I'll be joining friends this evening. Thoughts and prayers to all who are dealing with the hurricanes.

[@TheDriftwoodlover]

Silly Diane, I like ALL the self-care missions! Wearing something special etc. is the one I like most this week, as I’m fairly regular at the others. I guess the seasonal reading is the toughest as I don’t have anything other than fall cooking I can think of. So I’ll pop to the library tonight for some stew or soup recipes. I feel ahead of the game as I got back into having a massage to work on my sore shoulder and scheduled one as “maintenance” for next week. 🥰
