🌤 Reset Your Routine for 2022 | Chaos to Calm Challenge

[@connidimidjian4040]

What a good reminder to take a critical look at your routines and remember the why. I’m really struggling to determine what I need exactly but I know that calm and content are the end results I’m looking to find. Checking my phone all too often is a big issue. It’s not how I want to spend time that is precious. Time to develop some rituals and strategies that will serve me!

[@gabriellenetzer5449]

I'm sad we're at the end of the chaos to calm challenge but I'm grateful for all the nuggets and perspectives you've shared along the way, Jules! Loved the openness about decision fatigue and recognition of that exhaustion. Cheers!

[@xstefx08]

I can't WAIT to set up my phone to support the flow of my days! I'm someone who needs the routine to fit weekends AND weekdays, otherwise I find it hard to stick to. There isn't really a clear delineation for weekends in my life because work is flexible and if I'm feeling off on a Thursday I'll just take that day instead and push my workday to Saturday! Thanks for the lovely challenge content ^.^

To-don’ts??? Brilliant!

[@hautehustle]

It’s so important for us creatives to have some FEEL good routines throughout the day… I’ve recently been also focusing on 5-6 non-negotiable things I feel would move the dial forward in my business by being consistent. At the end, you talked about your calendar. Do you have a video on the consistent things you do to grow your business? This videos have been truly inspiring! Thanks for creating!

[@LauraMartinez-ku1yw]

this chaos to calm challenge has been so eye opening. I always hear “morning routines” & I just think, what habits can I stack together to be the most productive. but thinking about how I want to feel instead of what I should do is something I’m now going to move to. Thank you Jules Acree

[@bloominglotuz]

The “to don’t” list concept is super impactful! For a chronic over-doer, it’s always easy to pile up my morning routine with tons of actions and habits that quickly become unrealistic. I have an easier time scaling back. Thank you for another great video! ✨

[@andreaannemalaluan2714]

I absolutely love your suggestion of including my routines in my calendar. I am SO big on using my Google calendar for events and work related stuff, but not once did I think about including my routines in it. I honestly think that I'll be able to follow through and stick to my routines by doing that since my Google calendar is like a feel good check list for me!

[@krys003]

I LOVE the idea of the morning “to don’t” list and the personalized morning routine focus within the iPhone. I think those are two brilliants ways to make our morning routine a little easier 😊 I’m such a sucker for the snooze button in the morning when I KNOW I feel better without that dang snooze button. Oh and habit stacking, that is genius! I have started my habit tracker in my notion hub as well. Thank you thank you thank you for putting this chaos to calm challenge together. It has been so beautiful to work through these with you ♥️

[@illusionaiti]

I have been struggling with forming a realistic routine that I look forward to every day for years. These tips are really great, and I am excited to do a little audit of what I do in the mornings and make those changes. Also, thanks for the realness at the end, I often find myself in pj’s watching kdramas every Sunday morning 😂 this challenge has seriously been so great, and I am excited to move forward in this year with all of these wonderful tips and tricks!

[@TheExtrovertedHomebody]

This challenge has been such a good way to start of 2022! I will definitely be returning to watch these videos throughout the year when I started to feel stuck in a funk. Thank you💛

[@charmainerunes7354]

I love the morning routine I have (when I’m not traveling) but this year, I really want to prioritize my evening routine and your videos have given me a lot of helpful ways to think about it!

[@doitupteekay]

Gahhh, maybe I should try gua sha in my morning routine, I always feel so lazy to do it at night. =P These challenge videos have been really helpful and I already know I'm going to go back to review some again. Also wanted to say I totally ordered some Nekohama matcha after seeing you share about it and reading about their story. Excited to try! Thanks again for bringing viewers along on your reset this month! =)

[@christinastanton9333]

This was a great end to the series! Really helped me shift my thinking.

[@alexann744]

Loving your Simplify & Thrive course in Notion! I recently discovered match and LOVE it! Would you mind sharing where you got your tea set in this video?

[@shirleywong8816]

Awesome video - thank you Jules!! I feel inspired to start creating some form of routine in my life in 2022 :) Also, I'm intrigued by the exercise screen + weights thing, does anyone know what it's called?

[@jeanaandrighetti5730]

Tonal!🤎

[@shirleywong8816]

@@jeanaandrighetti5730thanks for your reply Jeana xx

[@SaintOrCinema]

Please create a video about those MODES on your phone 🤩 When you showed the screen I thought that looked so cool and helpful but I wouldn’t know where to begin with setting it up

[@bessmcallister4202]

Love this last video -- getting my morning and evening routine down was a HUGE shift for me mentally -- I'm excited to work through these steps!

[@julesacree]

Has the power to make such a shift!!

[@gracejimenez3098]

Have been so stuck in the "doing" lately so this was incredibly helpful in resetting. The habit stacking is a HUGE help in my routine reset. Thanks, Jules!

I'm always looking for a new way to make routines stick. SO TOUGH. Great video.

[@abigailpanarello2394]

I just found your channel today and I absolutely love everything about it. You are so calming & inspiring. Can't wait to see your channel keep growing !!

[@kevinjohn9181]

Wat the fuck? You are supposed to have 1M subscribers by now. Top class quality and content. Even I wud hv not known unless youtube recommended me. You doin great Jules. Love from India ❤

[@kaileywaal8154]

Love the idea of focusing on how you feel!! I’ve tried morning routines because I felt like I SHOULD do certain things (wake up super early, exercise, etc), but they didn’t necessarily always make me FEEL good, so I’d lose motivation and stop. Lately I’ve been really enjoying just moving slowly in the morning, getting in a quick meditation and having some time for introspection before I start my day - it feels better than having to ‘achieve’ something first thing. Thanks for the video :)

[@stephhillrabasa]

Final week! Another great video - echoing others that focusing on the "feel" of your morning, and all parts of your day is so essential. This has me reflecting on my geographical location aa lot, and how it affects my energy, the amount of physical space in NYC vs other cities (like I'd love to set up Tonal in my Brooklyn apartment, but sadly not an option 😂). Believe you mentioned living in NY before Jules - did the move to Austin come as a result of looking for a city with a different energy, weather, *vibe*, or anything like that? Maybe I'm in a grass is greener mindset, but I do sometimes dream of living somewhere warmer, with greater access to nature. Anyway, on a bit of a tangent, but the "reset" and journey to calm has got me thinking! Last thing - how long has gua sha been part of your self-care routine? Do you find it helpful? How does one begin? KZbin video guides? :)

[@kierstenhickman9226]

Started following an evening routine an hour before bed. Cleaning up the kitchen (I love walking into a clean kitchen in the morning, it's the best), skincare, reading, journaling, praying. No phones or screens. I sleep so much better and wake up refreshed! Also, I did the worksheet yesterday and was really empowered by it. Thanks for your resources, I'm looking forward to more videos!

[@mariagonzalezrodriguez6477]

Do you have any advice on how to feel more energized when waking up when it's still dark outside? When I see these beautiful videos there's always sunshine, and I feel I'm to depending on it. Like, sleeping 8h from 0.00 to 8.00 feels worse than sleeping them from 2.00 to 10.00 when there's light outside. Love your videos and this challenge!

[@MaPrajna1]

It was so calm just watching this. I 😍 your points about to do and to donts and giving myself grace to find what makes me feel good. I've enjoyed this 4 week challenge and look forward to more. Thanks Jules!!

[@lyndseykohn3832]

Very helpful! I've recently moved into a new apartment and very suddenly realized my previous routines/rituals were not working anymore. I'm excited to try implementing this next week ... also trying orange theory!!!

[@KCS2015]

I'm an end generation baby boomer and workaholic, from home, putting in 10-12 per day. The concept of intention, purpose, and mindfulness is foreign to me but I want to know more so I can take better care of myself. I want more of "me" that is left to be...present...for my family and friends. I'm still learning but am embracing your channel through the process.

[@asiareed1312]

I love this challenge is my new life. I absolutely love it. Although I started it late the things I have learned have made my life so much easier. However, I think what I love most is that the challenge really help me go back to my word of the year which is, "CORE"- the central or most important part of something. Thank you Jules :D

[@marlenan6777]

I also used to jump out of bed early before 2020 and now struggle getting up. I think that’s normal and having grace for ourselves is important!

[@SociallyChrissyTV]

Because of you I (SMM business owner) took January off of social to create new systems, routines and detoxed from things that needed to be stopped. I just want to say thank you so much. I don’t know where or when I found you but I have loved it here since September. This was the best ending to this January adventure. Can’t wait to read the newsletter Sunday. Have a great Saturday. Loved this video soooooo much.

[@megan_e_le]

I just started using a habit tracker in Notion this year and it’s been working well for me! I’m now going to start thinking about making a self-care routine to prioritize myself and my happiness. Thank you for your videos Jules! 🤗

[@joliechan4759]

I used to be a big morning workout person, but something wasn't clicking for me lately. By the time I would workout, shower, and eat breakfast...it was very much the afternoon lol. I decided to switch to evening workouts and I actually don't hate it! Gives me time to wind down with my routine rather than feel rushed to finish it. Ultimately, if I decide to switch back, that's ok too :)

[@jayciwallace8680]

I love your videos! They’re so encouraging to just change up your life to make you happy and more productive !

[@allyphan]

I love your thoughts on not waking up so early everyday!! It's really about finding a routine that works for you! Thanks for sharing a great challenge!🤍

[@madisonlytle1258]

Just curious, do you and your partner collectively plan the same routine together? I can't remember if you wake up at the same time or not. Or do you as an individual just plan out what works best for you? Just wondering how you balance it with another person.

[@TheSfg717]

Loved this series! Thank you so much for your creativity, Jules!!

[@cheerios428]

Yes! OTF is the best. Gonna take you up on that Notion Template for habit tracking. ^_^

[@allisontapocsi7077]

I think this is my fav video so far. I love the idea of having a morning routine but always thought it had to be complex. I love the idea of non negotiable. The bare minimum. Keep the tips coming - you have so many great ones! ☺️

[@lianahaven7447]

I also have the simplify and thrive course (highly recommend, it is worth it!) and since I set up my routines a few weeks ago, I circled back to see how the new routine was going, how I was feeling, and if the current routine was working. This challenge was perfect for reassessing what is working and what is not!

[@peaceandcupcakes]

The ideas of routines and shifting if something is not working, is a huge game changer. I also really love the idea of not having to do something, but getting to do something. Loved this whole series! Thanks as always, Jules!

[@diananguyen4139]

i thought it was really interesting to focus on what *isn't* working and what we *don't* want. a lot of times, I focus on 'what is SHOULD do' and 'positive habits that I want to inhabit.' to start from the opposite is a cool approach to fine-tune what I need to focus on. loving this challenge and how it encourages us to achieve the same concepts/ goals but in different ways

[@hayleydoon9993]

I’ve recently been working on my night routine and it’s made a big difference for my morning. I def set out my clothes the night before too, because if I don’t I know I’ll never workout.

[@isabelballard7054]

I also just had the same realization about classpass and am on my last month! Did find several great studios thanks to them. Excited to evaluate my routine further!

[@alahnacarstens8050]

This challenge helped me so much!! I had routines just to think I was doing the right thing and it didn’t make me feel good. Thank you so much

[@CandyisAwesome86]

Lol I recently cancelled ClassPass too. I had it for years and it was cool before Covid but afterward it was too chaotic to find a class not knowing the procedures, etc. I really couldn’t keep up with the credits and all that.

[@kimijevic2354]

My favorite video of the challenge! Love the idea of thinking about how you want to feel during your routines and not just the different steps that you're "checking off the list"

[@akc8826]

I work at 6am and don't have time to wake up any sooner to have a morning routine. It's been hard keeping up with a routine after work as well because I'm already physically and emotionally drained. This video has helped me realize I should listen to my body more and have rest days and not be so hard on myself for not completing what has started to feel like tasks rather than something to bring me joy and peace. I'm going to find my non negotiables and maybe one day I can habit stack when I start feeling more energized. Ty Jules

[@JustineJenneBailey]

OrangeTheory is the best!! I did it for 2 years pre-pandemic and I was in the best shape of my life!! The expensive price tag motivated me to not miss a single class. 🤣

[@alexandramoody4697]

So I've scoured through your instagram and came up flat, I'm hoping you can link us to the mat you're using to move on at the end! It's so beautiful 😍

[@survivingonempty8606]

I need a chaos to calm program for work! Lol because it makes me crazy and drains me when it gets overwhelmed!

[@Samanthakarels]

This challenge has been so helpful in doing a life audit. I have never done something like this where it goes into so many different aspects of my life. Thank you so much for doing this challenge it has been so incredibly helpful in organizing my life as a whole.

[@markj.stovall4969]

What a beautiful woman, jewels. sending love from Dallas to atx 💘

[@maggletini]

I like the idea of writing down the routine I want. Did you change your Home Screen so that it always shows only the meditation and workout apps, or does it somehow change during the morning routine focus time?

[@jazc8354]

Your voice its so calming haha you shold make a podcast!! love this videos...!

[@szlovelovelove]

[@huntercorral7543]

Watching all of your videos has helped so much!!!

[@gabyrobles9733]

I normally use an app with my friends with a list of our own habits so we can support each other, but lately it has been falling apart, some of us have been feeling a little guilt if we dont do it even though we know is good for us, I love that in your video it sounds so simple and beautiful that a habit should be something we get to do and not something we have to do (i wrote it down) im going to make dinner and reevaluate my habits and make it what i need now

[@ShadowSync]

I really like this video. It's one of my faves out of this series. I am way out of routine and this has given me some good ideas.

[@chariswaters1900]

I had no idea you could change your iPhone focus in that way! For sure going to be something I check out!

[@amyyanicak3438]

Really like looking at morning routine don’t and just deciding what I don’t want to do!

[@judychen3701]

I was just talking to a friend earlier this week about changing up our morning routines, sharing this with her!

[@morganmull-osborn1298]

The why, "How do I want to feel?" What an impactful question when reseting a routine. Thank you for this challenge! I took a lot away from it.

[@osanegumo]

Your videos inspire me so much!!

[@allisonfield7570]

Thank you for this one, Jules! What a great reminder that we can reassess and reset a routine. I love getting re-inspired and renewing that spark to want to get up and start my day the right way! :)

[@kirbyfranklin6892]

Love the reminder about being stuck in the doing... My morning routine is constantly changing, but I appreciate the reminder that it's just about intention. How you want to feel. Things that are an absolute must.

[@ryanmiller292]

So many things to love about this specific challenge! I haven't thought about the things I don't like or habits that are sometimes existent and aren't fulfilling my needs. By following my "don't's" as well I feel like I'm going to start setting some healthy boundaries with my routine. Thanks Jules! ☺️💕✌🏻

[@sarahyoung8088]

This video gets me SO excited to reset my morning routine after me and my partner move into a house in February. We are currently cramped into an apartment and do not have the indoor or outdoor space to work out, but our new place has tons of space for that. I truly can't wait to get my body moving again, it is so integral to having a healthy, dynamic routine for me!! I am wondering if you'd ever do a video/short video on your Tonal, and how you like it or what you don't like about it? We might buy one and you're one of the only people I know who has one! Would love to hear more about it sometime whether it's a short reel on IG or something longer on here. Thank you for these last four weeks of phenomenal content!!
