THIS IS HARDER THAN I THOUGHT! .. QUITTING COLD TURKEY | CHALLENGE WEEK 1

Hey everyone, this is the update on week 1 of my challenge! When I filmed this it was after about a week doing the challenge, but only 2-3 days of REALLY doing it. (because of birthday shenanigan’s) - so not much results. BUT i do have some good results to share! My headaches and jaw clenching are ALREADY better, I am finding quitting social media to be THE most difficult part, but (as i write this) I am now 5 days social media free! I haven't scrolled AT ALL. I am also now looking into listening to good books like I do here. I am listening on audible to Atomic Habits which i had recommended by many of you, and also some real life friends! I am on week 2 of eating my factor meals, (not sponsored) and am enjoying them SOOOOO much! They have REALLY helped me stick to my healthy eating plan and get a wider array of veggies/proteins. I am also drinking LOTS of water daily. (well, lots for me) 40oz in a stanley! I have been getting only outdoor movement/exercise right now as I haven't brought my peloton inside from the garage (but as I write this, I am heading to the YMCA in an hour to go swim! So i am definitely getting lots more physical activity) I will link what I am using below and will see you next week for challenge week 2!

I got this link from my account with factor, not an affiliate or marketing link or anything, just says "sign up with my personal link and you will get free meals" but I THINK you will get free meals anyways with their every day promo. I am unsure about this link and if its any different than normal links. It appears to be a referral link that EVERYONE who signs up, gets.

[@m0thw1n9]

hey kristi! i'm a psych student so here's a tiny piece of advice: if you are trying to cut out social media it will be more effective and easier to make the change if you find something else to do in its place. crossword puzzles, something crafty, etc., anything that could engage you for the period of time you are having those urges. you're doing great!

[@s.a.6082]

Also isn’t it better to slowly wean, instead of quitting cold turkey? More sustainable…

[@amandazplace5663]

200%✓✓✓✓ It's impossible to stop a bad habit and just listen to crickets. You have to replace a bad habit with something else. You also have to have a list of "things to do" for when your brain gets DESPERATE and manipulates you into your old habit.♥️🇨🇦

[@EBrenry]

I think I’d get the smallest e-reader I could, load it with a few (banned😉) books, disable any wifi connectivity, and trick my brain into thinking I still have my phone.

[@m0thw1n9]

people are actually more likely to maintain a change if it's cold turkey@@s.a.6082

[@literary_bites]

As a therapist with 20 years in trauma treatment, this is so spot on. Social media is used as a coping mechanism to numb and distract. Gotta try to find a healthier replacement coping mechanism. Crosswords, crafts, knitting, audiobooks, etc. Also less self-help content period, even good content makers and authors! Get into your body and out of your head. Volunteer somewhere doing something that involves movement not talking. So glad we have a generation of young therapists coming up so smart and prepared to help others like you!

[@jern-]

“Even my BED is clean! Now I can sleep on it!” I felt that excitement so hard. Clean sheets are heaven ✨

[@morggylynn]

The excitement in your sons voice about the room being cleaned is darling. Kids really do thrive in a tidy environment and are way less overwhelmed

[@cbaelz120]

Yoga with Adrienne has her 30 day yoga journey going on right now (she does it every January), it's really great for beginners. Plus, she's fun to listen to, and not really like the other yoga channels at all.

[@MarMar828]

Yoga is great! I would also suggest Nourished Natasha here on KZbin. Lots of considerations for beginners and plus sized folk!

[@krystalm616]

Yoga with Kassandra is great too. 😊

[@EmEmJee89]

I was going to suggest this! I'm also doing my own challenge and Yoga w Adriene has been a great way to move my body every day

[@idreamofparis7233]

She’s good. I also like SarahBethYoga.

[@jocelynstrong]

I've been having so much fun with her yoga journey, it's cool to know you're a part of it too :)

[@Jasminerainl]

I just took an 8 week social media break and it was sadly the longest I've ever taken from social media. My life has drastically changed. I've been more present with my children and partner (he also took the break with me) I focused on my health journey and was able to lose a significant amount of weight and now I get anxiety going back to social media which i didn't expect. I feel so much healthier as a person just from this one change. I kept podcasts and KZbin to listen to things while I cleaned and exercised and I felt like that was the outlet I needed without doom scrolling.

[@RawBeautyKristi]

This is incredible! I am so so excited for when I can say I’m that far in, so far 5 days (this video was a few days ago filmed) and doing great!

[@nokateno]

Don’t go back

[@aurynaranjo3272]

Took a break from instagram for lent last year and i felt so good afterwards that i didn’t go back. I will very VERY rarely get on to look something up or make a post. I get on it like once a month and I have posted about three times in the last 8ish months. Ive been reading so much more. I feel better about myself. I am more present. I just kind of let people know around me that I don’t really use it anymore because I do miss things from other people and their lives. What i try to do instead is write to the important people in my life directly on whatsapp

[@dvanhottie]

Started reading the Bible everyday Jan 2022. Took 8 months to finish it. Still reading it first thing in the morning. It has brought me more peace than I could ever have imagined.

[@MaceySnow]

I deleted all social media two years ago and I DON'T MISS IT AT ALL. I won't ever go back, not even for my job (I'm in marketing lol). Good for you for getting through the first week. It took me about a month or two to get over the FOMO. Now I read, listen to music, and enjoy my hobbies instead of scrolling and it's brought me so much peace and time to do things I actually enjoy. AND I feel so much better about myself!!

[@annaak7849]

Same here! Best decision ever. Stress went down substantially.

[@annaak7849]

@tootynuggets for me toxic social media is seeing my family and friends accounts daily as it triggers intense fomo and feeling I'm late in life. Also doomsday topics are negative for me. But random videos on yt that are inspiring or teaching me something is a different thing and it brings me joy and connection. I removed all personal accounts and only kept yt.

[@CactusBill]

It takes 28 days to break a habit, that's why February is my fav month to give up a bad habit (:

[@_Chronically_Dead]

You 100% got this, I believe in you dad ❤

[@simply_sydney]

Just wanted to say thank you for sharing that clip of your son raving about your clean room ❤ the blurred filter was a great way to still protect your son while also letting us enjoy his wholesome little spirit

[@kathryn583]

Oh…My…Gawd! His little voice?! Adorable, but you knew that.😊 My little guy just turned 4. Love to see you evolving & sharing. Thanks for everything.

[@Fivetimesthree]

I’m loving this journal. I’m Muslim but I’m glad you’re reading this Bible. Lots to weird hatred around religion now as if ppl don’t crave spiritual and religious experiences. I loved atomic habits. I really was able to get my shopping under control and was more careful about my diet after I read it. I keep a journal with me as I listen so I can write down prompts for later.

[@rachaelhearn9754]

progress over perfection. this is the way.

[@starbright1256]

Love it. Yes yes yes!

[@DanielleNicoleMakeup]

I'm on the journey with you! May the force be with us 😂

[@PatriciaBurns-ym4wo]

Same here...lol

[@Swizzles89]

Here here lol

[@BLARG09]

Me too!

[@Loganm0213]

Our stories are SO similar. PCOS, Health Anxiety, weight gain over covid, social media/phone addiction. I started taking my life back last year around August. For the first time in my 27 years, i'm working out and eating well because I want to be HEALTHY, not skinny. I want to feel good again and hopefully become a mom. We're on this journey together!

[@audreyw8460]

I’m trying to delete TikTok for 30 days which is similar rules and I will say it’s amazing realizing how much more time in you day you feel you have without social media

[@starbright1256]

The time can be productive

[@courtneywelch9472]

I’m def addicted to social media. I had no idea you could set time limits on them. I set a 1 hour time limit on socials a day on my phone. It makes me be strategic about when and what I’m scrolling! It’s really helping!

[@softwaifu]

Thank you as always for being so unflinchingly real - this is the kind of content we need in the world ❤

[@asmrglow]

i was gonna suggest audiobooks and then you started talking about it haha! These have honestly changed my days. I also recommend deleting twitter off your phone if it's one of the platforms you keep doom scrolling on, i deleted mine and it's definitely helping! I cant delete IG cuz we can only post through phones, otherwise id delete that shit so quick. Something else, I personally hate hate hate exercising and i find no pleasure in it, but recently I got an exercise bike, and i do it 3 times a week while listening to an audiobook. Honestly it's not bad at all lol. I think a little bit everyday would be a nice addition to your efforts, especially since it's at home, it's nice! Don't be discouraged if your weight doesn't drop immediately, I've heard it takes a while to actually see it go down but then it continuously drops. You can do this! I'm a firm believer that little steps amount to big changes. I dont think suddenly making a huge change suddenly helps, I find that small efforts are easier to implement and get used to. So eventually on the long run, it'll last in your mind!

[@codedresilience5239]

Go you girl!!! And be prepared, you may think you hate exercising now x but if you keep this routine going, you’re going “get” why people become exercise nuts ❤ keep up the great work!

[@Grinchfairy]

I’m so glad you’re doing these things for YOU! No matter if it’s a full on challenge or just little changes like atomic habits suggests. Even if you don’t do perfect one day, don’t exclude that day from the challenge! You are still trying and putting in effort! Of course you have to eat the homemade pasta and cake your family made with love! We still have to live and enjoy our lives, it can’t just all be about restrictions, discipline and being “perfect”. People who live that way usually end up miserable. Keep the happiness in your life whilst trying to make positive changes at the same time ❤

[@JoAnn12]

Atomic habits changed my life. I listen to it every year.

[@nanny6676]

The BEST thing EVER was getting off social media! I didnt realize how much it caused an issue with my mental health and how my life was being wasted. I love listening to AudioBooks and KZbin while doing Diamond Art, Gardening, building my pond and the house hold chorse along with other things. You can do it!! ❤

[@Supercelly]

I just recently started crocheting and it has helped me SO much with getting off social media. I am not a crafty person at all and it’s honestly made me so happy so I’d def recommend finding a fun craft to try!

[@Luna19942_]

Girl, take it easy. The fact you are already eating healthy is a huge change. If you overwhelm yourself with changes, you are more likely to give up.

[@radrose4864]

Really loving these lifestyle/ chat while working around the house / new year resolution accountability vids. Totally with you in the struggle girl

[@MoodyMegReads]

Upping water intake with the magnesium & riboflavin is a migraine cure no one talks about.. Life changing!

[@vvinokz9042]

I am with you on the social media thing for the new year! I am reading a lot instead, and I have found that having ebooks ready in my kindle/google play app and audible books at the ready gives me something to do when I would automatically go to social media before. It’s really helped, and I’m getting lots of reading in. You’re doing great!

[@Cholulasmom]

I admire your honesty! For me I couldn’t do too many changes at once. Also I had to learn what my triggers where (which changed with age etc) like having a clean house. If my house isn’t clean and organized the rest of my life is off.

[@michellepernula872]

That made me tear up when your son got so excited to be in your bedroom and ran around. He was elated and grateful. You gave him a wonderful gift and hes so appreciative. How beautiful.

[@Gabialoha1]

I’m so with you on SM. Something I’m really trying to break from it myself.

[@lauraellerman9443]

7:32 “what would a healthy person do?” WOW love that - identity based instead of end goal based

[@amyselsor1502]

Kristi! You should start reading some fun fiction to fill in the “what do I do with my hands” during social media detox!

[@bmoore816]

Please keep posting updates 🙏 I'm on my own fitness journey starting nearly the same time, so it feels like I have a buddy 😂 It's so hard

[@LoveLivesHere12]

It’s really cool to watch you grow, Kristi. Interests, life, and faith. I feel like you’re more relatable. This is where I’m at in life, too. It’s nice to see you’re embracing change instead of doing what you think other people want from your channel. ❤️

[@taylorkoonce8834]

I’m with you on this and so proud of anyone trying to better themselves! Last year I got back to working out and I really had to change my mindset! So many times I would start and give up because I “wasn’t doing it right”. I told myself, working out one day a week is better than none! And now I’m up to successfully working out at least 3 times a week. And if I miss a week because life is wild, I start fresh again when I can and I stopped telling myself that anything about that was failing. It has been a GAME CHANGER. I deleted all my social media apps on the first. Today’s the 7th and I haven’t cheated. I allow myself long form content on KZbin and that’s it. I genuinely feel so much happier for what feels like no reason… but hello! There’s obviously a reason! I listen to audiobooks or read on my kindle when I really have nothing to fill my time with and that’s all. Good luck Kristi! We’re not failing if we’re not perfect. Anything we do to better ourselves is better than nothing!

[@kaayjane]

I’ve also started listening to audiobooks (free ones from a library app). I had never read the classics (Little Women, Anne of Green Gables, The Secret Garden, etc.) but seen the movies, so that’s what I’ve been enjoying lately❤️

[@anibarr8272]

Early gang. Loving your content recently!!! It feels so relatable

[@sharlap4664]

I got myself a colouring book & markers and I’m enjoying this while listening to soothing music. Definitely calms my brain down

[@starbright1256]

Im 3 months on a change. Some days a big victories some are small. Its all a win. Does get easier & more aware comes. Best version of yourself is my mantra

[@MsSunnySmirk]

you are inspiring so many people! keep going- we're here with you!

[@mariahwilliams1919]

I have to listen to something while I'm doing anything. Podcast, music, something in the background to keep me moving and not let my mind wander too much. When I tell you, I have like 10 books I've gone through in the past year just listening. It's so good.

[@wickedtess9407]

I found walking workouts on yourube and i love them. They are easy and short (most of them, you can find longer ones). That way you feel that you did something. And remind yourself not to be too hard on yourself 😊😊😊😊😊

[@ellerose7123]

My heart leapt when you said you’re listening to the Bible app! I feel the same way. I started reading the Bible because I didn’t know what was in it. It’s been life-changing 🕊️

[@missmissyphotography]

I've lost over 100 pounds and I would never weigh myself weekly, it's so discouraging when you don't lose...I do maybe twice a month now, and I just try to make sure I'm good for that weigh in all month and it's much easier and rewarding. Whatever works for you though!

[@karencurtis6141]

My first week 🤔 yep still vertical most of the time watching KZbin, Got a date for my mental health review June 25 th 😳that’s good 😮 But tomorrow is taking the Christmas decorations down and getting my home out of winter mode because I’m hibernating and it’s got to stop . Spring is coming to my home including new bedding not the comfy cosiest bedding I brought this year 🥰. Let’s keep trying, not beating our selves up on bad days. Take care everyone xx

[@hayleebaird-lira5558]

I’m here on the journey with you Kristi!! I had my gallbladder removed via emergency surgery 3 days before Christmas and have to completely change my diet. I’m a SAH mom and on my phone a lot. I went to library today with my littles and am going to try picking up a book instead. I neglected myself so much since becoming a mom. This is the year I will stop that cycle!

[@thelizfizz1]

Im so excited for you!! I quit all social media except youtube (not really sure if youtube counts as social media) like 6 years ago. Havent missed it since the first year. A friend who wants to do the same thing asked me "well what do you scroll then?" and I'm like "nothing!" its so freeing! Not pretending to be better than anyone, my husband was amazing at helping me quit social media, I couldnt do it all on my own.

[@thelizfizz1]

I need something to do with my hands in my free time and I've gotten super into crochet and knitting!

[@VPNHunting]

We clean the exact same way!!! I loved this video. ❤️

[@codedresilience5239]

Girl this was the freaking best most motivating video I could ever ask for!!! You touched my heart, I’m in this same boat and ready for change! Great job taking those hard first steps!!!!

[@erinryan1587]

Long time subscriber here and also on my health journey. Just want to say I really appreciate and enjoy these videos. Honest and real and relatable AF. I’m super cheering you on and I hope you keep making videos about this as you go❤️

[@emilyforestal3423]

Honestly the excitement from our kiddos is enough to keep us going. 💙

[@Mfari444]

I love how real you are! I wanted to recommend the Bible project here on KZbin! The videos really help understand what I’m listening to!!!

[@halleleal5805]

I am also on a weight loss journey this year and I am SO stoked!! Can’t wait to keep up with your progress! You are motivating me!!! ❤❤

[@averya7443]

Im tryinf to get my life how i want it to be and you uploading these videos is so motivating. Thank you so much for sharing with us ❤

[@itsandysnitch]

Keep going Kristi 💪🏽 I find its easier to start fresh rather than jumping back on the wagon from slip ups! You got this. Health is the true wealth ❤❤

[@starbright1256]

Truth

[@alyssamillard]

I'm listening to Atomic Habits too 💜💜 one of the things I've learned from the book that I've implemented into my own life is asking myself, would a healthy person do this? mostly when it comes to food and movement. thank you for inspiring me to hold onto the idea of becoming the best version of me. and I wish you the best of luck on achieving your ideal version of you💜💜

[@waterchild83]

I am doing a 12 books recommendation by 12 friends in 12 months challenge. I also see a 24 books in 2024 challenge on Goodreads. In a few months when I’m hopefully in my new job and settled into that I’m going to do a sugar detox cause it’s definitely one of my vices. I also have an Apple Watch and it gives you monthly challenges and I want to be conscious of completing those challenges and getting every month this year. I love these new videos. And I’m so so proud of you!

[@triciag7040]

I get the social media...but I'm not on TikTok & am trying to limit YT to just the folks I'm subscribed to & if I add anything it's podcasts, etc. Stay strong! Slow & steady wins the race!

[@triangleDAYS]

I quit social media a couple of years ago and now I only browse a tiny bit, rarely tweet etc. and it’s been very helpful for me as I man artists and I was equating engagement with my own self worth and value and value of the art itself. It’s been really great to just do my own thing.

[@NorthToSouthChannel]

You got this Kristi - love that you are doing so many things to improve your health in every way. Keep at it and God bless you in this journey. Thanks for always keeping it real.

[@haleighklemm]

Hi real dad 💕 I deleted social media over 2 years ago and it was THE BEST thing I’ve done for my mental health. You got this girl!! Love youuuuu

[@soarinsuzi7206]

I've been doing lego builds, reading (i stuggle with audiobooks), podcasts, or doing a chore that is SO simple and i just never bother. Why am I like this? 😅

[@mapsudaa]

Kristi, I'm so glad your sharing your journey and put these videos up. I've also started to eat healthier and moving my body more so it's nice to do this together!

[@andreazurb]

I’m LOVING & LIVING FOR this content, Kristi! So proud of you & everyone in the comments who are taking ownership of their health in 2024. Sending love to all of you! WE GOT THIS 👊🏻

[@LarrietDarling]

that is my absolute favorite tea. my second favorite is the bigelow wild blueberry with acai! having that with some lemon and honey is beyond! ans it makes a really good iced tea as well, i just make sure to steep it a little extra for that.

[@jamielynn4187]

Way to go, real dad! You got this! Never beat yourself up over the times you miss, just congratulate yourself over the wins!!!

[@AC-yb9ml]

One change at a time girl! This is why everyone tanks out by February. They make a ton of changes and it’s usually not sustainable. Pick one thing and stick with it for 2-4 weeks. Then add in another change once the first one becomes who you are. So pick one thing maybe nutrition, maybe social media. Whatever. I say pick the hardest thing first. Do it for a month. That alone will raise your pride and desire for more change. Atomic Habits book is amazing for giving change structure and making it attainable. You’ve got this!!! I’m so proud of you.

[@deannakeepper4517]

Awesome job mama every day is a win screw what pound you are you are making good choices moving the direction for your mental health your physical will follow super proud of every win don’t focus on the little misses that may come think of it as training not trying no matter what the it is for you it helps me in my mindset to take in new habits

[@Nikki_Cole]

Great job with working in the garden! It really does help to find a physical activity that you think is fun. At least for me, ”just” doing it for health benefits isn’t motivation enough if I don’t find it enjoyable😞 For me I found wheight lifting last year, but your garden/land is such a good opportunity for exercise that most people don’t have!

[@kaitlyndewell6316]

Your sweet kiddo’s excitement got me 🥹

[@msmoodymt]

I 100000% needed to see this today. I got married this weekend, and we fell off the health wagon hard during the last 6 months of wedding planning. My husband and I have both committed to being healthier for each other moving forward because we want a long life together. This video gives me some direction. Thanks for the inspo!

[@Brooksie603]

I LOVE listening to audiobooks. I can’t sit and just read a physical book but I love reading so much. So having an audiobook playing while I do things around the house or out running errands is really great for me.

[@allycatwild]

You got this girl! Shovelling and raking is good exercise man. Also I wish that sweater came in bigger sizes..love it!

[@a.d.9271]

Hey, Kristie! Try logging out of your social media so you don’t impulsively scroll and you see the log in screen as a flag to stop when you just need a dopamine rush. If you need to look something up or whatever, logging back in is literally so easy. But seeing the initial log in screen will alert to you what you’re doing before you open the app and see your feed to pull you in

[@plantlady5356]

Yes, gardening! So so good for mind body and soul. Still try for healthy eating and more intense exercise, of course. But, it is said that gardeners live longer than most others. Non-exercise activity is so good for you, to be up and moving around different things, etc, for a duration of time, every day. So awesome! Keep up the good work!

[@NoelleMariie]

Kristi. As a 33 year old mom of 3 who struggles soooo much with keeping my mental and physical health in tact, and making sure to be a good mom to my kids in the process, These videos are so motivational to me. I’m not one to comment on videos, but from previous videos I know that all of the feedback or views on this type of content may not be the best. But man, I feel you, I’m trying with you. And I’m going to keep following this wellness journey with you. You’re doing amazing, and you’re reaching your subscribers/followers in such a necessary way. You’re truly inspirational…Sending much love to you. Keep going, and I’m looking forward to so much more. 🫶🏾

[@Swm2020]

It’s been 2 years of no social media for me. In the recent months , I would occasionally log in to Facebook through safari and like someone else said, I got sooo much anxiety going back to it. That’s how I know I made the right choice and life is so much better without it. I don’t miss it whatsoever. You got this.

[@ADiCam-jq1ob]

I can't imagine having a job connected to the internet/social media, it must make it sooo much harder. I can't really be on my phone at work(I'm not perfect, it happens) but for the most part, it's put away. Makes a big difference

[@alleehochmuth6565]

Hey Kristi! You may want to manage your goals. They are very lofty. Also, restricting food groups leads to binge eating, which feels like addiction but it's really just the human body's way of protecting itself and trying to keep you alive. Be compassionate with yourself!

[@Sjudit84]

Lessgooo Kristi! I am LI-VING for these vlogs, I am so happy you don't given an F anymore and upload what you want! Bcs I have been waiting for this time to come!

[@RegularHuman]

Wow - you are really doing it!!!! happy to hear you don't have head pain

[@klutzykate123]

Thank you Kristi, I’m loving these videos, they are helping me too.

[@kelseyshuck2226]

I’ve been on my own “betterment” journey. I also started reading atomic habits and my Bible more. I’m trying to focus on 1% better and stop worrying about being perfect. The chase of perfection often stops me dead in my tracks and ends up being the reason I quit doing the things I want to do to become a better me. Trying to be perfect is so exhausting and unattainable. Releasing the idea that it has to be perfect is a hard one for me, but I believe that it’s going to be fundamental to me sticking with my new habits and becoming who I want to be. We’re in this together!

[@samanthaprestley]

That bed is straight up what dreams are made of 🤗🙋🏼‍♀️🤗

[@SuzyQ1129]

Loved this, Kristi! And I'm so happy you're filming it! I'm rooting for you!

[@sheelfjohnson]

Want to know something funny? KZbin asked me to rate your comment! ☺️ I gave it 5 stars (I think it was a scale of 5🤔). Wonder why they do that?

[@staceylippel2860]

I'm really proud of you for making these changes. Replacing bad habits with good = success. You got this!

[@RElizabeth]

I've also deleted social media for January, it's only day 7 and it feels like an ETERNITY! Which is honestly terrifying. It is a comfort having to along for the journey though.

[@JRoseE1989]

To the Adam guy (who I assume was reported) based on his comment, the “portion” of salad based where it comes from may be for 2 people but the overall caloric and ingredient intake of the entire salad is less than 700 calories. I hope it was the company that reported your “opinion” because it wasn’t fact.

[@lasantuzza777]

i also think it’s so cool that you said you gotta listen to the bible to know how you feel about it. i wish more people had that mindset. i love learning about faiths and im a deeply spiritual person at heart. i listen to / read the bible, the quran, and other religious texts often.

[@angiebechaz4648]

Hey Kristi, vit D and magnesium glycinate is amazing for treating anxiety. My daughter and I take vit d in the morning and mag at night. The change in her has been so positive in such a short time. I still take an anti anxiety med so I'm not sure about me lol, but it's like the miracle for my daughter who's 25y.o, that I've been looking for. Seriously, it's been a Godsend. You just have to take them at least for hours apart. I came across it on tiktok (ikr) and decided it can't hurt. So glad we tried it ❤ You're doing a great job girlie, keep it up!!! I'm getting back on keto after the holidays. Boy oh boy, I do loves me food 😂😂

I absolutely second this. Women are commonly deficient in both. Also, I recently found out that vit D uses magnesium to synthesize so you really do need to take both. Amazing health benefits and so critical for so many systems in the body.

I discovered Magnesium last April or early May and it has changed my life. Last Spring I was dealing with major flare ups of anxiety AND GERD (Acid Reflux). Did a little research online for anything that could be a natural way to get instant relief from both those issues and discovered that Magnesium actually helps tremendously with both! The first day I took Magnesium I was in the middle of dealing with both of those issues and within 10 minutes I could feel both my acid reflux and anxiety going away. On top of that I was very surprised to find out that Magnesium also helped with my insomnia, which I also suffer from a few times each month. It truly is a miracle supplement!

@angiebechaz4648 hi! I’ve been wanting to try magnesium. How did you figure out your dosage?

[@katiedemski2419]

Here to second (or third) this!! I take a calcium supplement and high dose vitamin D in the morning. As well as ashwaganda. Then in the evening I take magnesium amd reishi. I’m not saying this will solve all of your problems in a week. But after being on this combo for some time now, I definitely notice a difference in how I feel overall. Not as tired, not many headaches, much easier getting up in the morning

@tanyawasyluk1848 hey, well i just followed what was in the tiktok video to start with. 500mg magnesium glycinate and the vitamin D I take is Swisse but tbh I'm not sure I'm taking enough. I'm low on vit D so i just take what I need. My daughter's dose is different and she takes another brand. Sorry, I'm not sure what it is. If you can't see the link to the tiktok video below, then YT has deleted. I'll give you the user name so you can look it up. Tyler Wesley.

Go you! I Read this today "Your diet isn't just what you eat. it's what you watch, what you listen to, what you read. Be mindful of the things you put into your body emotionally, and spiritually too❤"

[@erinschemmel9092]

You’re doing amazing, Kristi! Keep going!!! This content is so important and I am so thankful that you’re focusing on what you’re doing to improve your physical and mental health. It will inspire so many women to (hopefully!!) do the same. You are THEEEE BEST!

I’m a registered dietitian and I highly recommend seeing one. We work with the patient to find things that work for them without restricting. Biggest thing I tell my patients is think about what you can add to your meals not take away. I love talking about physical activity and finding something you love so it’s sustainable. I took a social media break for most of December and it was hard. But now I feel so much better and rarely check my phone. Doom scrolling is real.

[@memorytapia6337]

I’ve seen a dietitian and it was wonderful. She never told me not to eat something. She offered slight alternatives that didn’t seem overwhelming and add ons. I cannot just stop something . I have to make slow changes.

[@Sam11922]

Having a kindle or using the book app or kindle app on my phone has stopped my social media consumption sooo much and also having a goal for books read by the end of the month or year helps because it makes you prioritize reading. And I know it's not a popular opinion but because I use reading as a form of escapism I don't read self help, just fiction, either romance, fantasy, or mystery, just whatever you like. You'll notice over time when you get the chance to sit and do scrolling you'll start leaning towards using your kindle/book app instead and it's just so much more convenient than a physical book

We have the exact same bed. Good taste! ;) I bought mine several years ago and it took me so long to find the perfect bed. Wishing you lots of success on your journey! You might also enjoy the book Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey if you haven't already read/listened to it. I just started it and am glued to reading it.

Factor meals ARE so helpful. I am keto-flexible but they, and intermittent fasting have helped me maintain my weightloss. Congratulations on all your effort! I deleted my FB and its made the biggest difference in my mental health. I've been playing music more now too. Great checkin! Keep it up! You got this!!!

[@lyndseydalton5156]

YES to listening to the Bible! Yes! God is so good & you're gonna know about it soon! So excited for you ❤
