Hearing that it’s hard for other people to get out of bed, but they just make themselves is really lifechanging advice for me. I think I was under the impression that morning people enjoyed getting up early. It puts me in the mindset that if other people can force themselves to get up, I can too

One more suggestion : I plan my outfit for the next day the night before, down to the shoes, jewelry, and accessories. It makes the mornings so much easier to have that decision already made.

I agree. I taught junior high, high school, adult education, in a maximum security men's prison, and college for 43 years. I did a lot of free tutoring and still do some. Last week, one of my former students contacted me to go to dinner. She was in tears thanking me for helping her through college 7 years ago. She also contacted my favorite professor and got him to write a short message in the book he had authored. I had given her the book to use for class, and I had forgotten about it. She said she would be forever grateful to me for my kindness and patience. My dad always told us that God created each of us to help our fellow man (woman). That's what brings me joy.

Re music and mood: I have discovered the “fountain of youth”! Listen (and dance, and sing if you want) to the music of your teen years through your twenties. For me that’s 1969 through 1989.

So true!! Brings back a more carefree/simpler time in my life, even though I’m ok with where I am today. Nice to have good memories pop up too.

Wow, how funny, my memory verse for this week- "Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others." Phil. 2:4 So cool, and I agree, pay it forward.

I am in my 60s and have not used an alarm in years. I am usually in bed by 10:30 at night and my body naturally wakes between 6 and 7 in the morning. Love all of your helpful ideas. I am with you on the coffee thing. I think because of my age I am not tied to my phone so that is not a problem for me. Thanks for all your wonderful ideas.

I have to tell you my favorite pay it forward moment. I had the day off so I set about my errands, grocery shopping was on the list so I'm standing at the check out with a basket full. I looked behind me and there was a guy with like 3 or 4 things in his hands, I asked him Is that all you have? I then told him he could go before me. He kind of looked surprised and said thank you. After he checked out and payed he turned and said thank you, you just saved my entire day, my son has a field trip at school and I forgot his lunch. You are right Kallie, I felt so good about that small little gesture that didn't take any time away from my day but was very important to that person. I am a relatively new Sub and I am loving your channel, thank you.

I think the 7th tweak could fall into a “create a cut off time for caffeine”. I did a fitbit sleeping challenge and one of the tips was choosing a time to cut caffeine (2pm, 3, 4) I used 3 or 330. I finished the challenge two years ago but I realized it helped me fall asleep easier cutting it off early. I’ve noticed that I’m still mindful when 3 comes around to pour or finish my last cup to be done at 330

Same here. My cut-off is 2pm. My insomnia has gotten better since then.

I love using my Fitbit alarm,it's not a noise but a vibration that wakes you up. I love the smart wake function where the watch highlights a window within 30 minutes before the set alarm time when you are in a light sleep stage and will wake you then.

Kallie, I started meal planning last fall, and I can’t even explain how freeing this little action is, to my everyday life. Also, I will be 70 in a few months, and during those years inclusive of the 33 years I worked outside the house, I have never once hit my snooze button🤗. Thank you for the suggestions.

I am definitely a night owl and definitely hit the snooze more times that I could count throughout my life and working career (43 years). I am 71 and retired and finally feel normal being able to sleep late. I do need to adjust my sleep schedule though.

Hitting snooze was a BIG one for me! For so long I hit it, mostly because I didn’t want to face the day and my bed felt safe. I would fall back asleep and get reawakened. I truly could feel the effect it had on my energy levels the rest of the by making me feel so groggy. But once I simply had to start by every morning when my alarm went off … just pushed through the HUGE temptation to crawl back in and that’s when the change came !!! My mornings are soooo much more enjoyable and I’ve learned to conquer the day first try… not feeling like I can’t. Love all your vids and inspiration Kali !!!

I live in Portlandia, so I can’t/won’t give up coffee, but I definitely focus on living out the Golden Rule. Every little chance I get, I help others, even if it’s only to give a haggard store clerk a smile. I remember being so down years ago, that a smile from a stranger felt precious, and I cherished them.

Can you make at least one video of your skincare/hair care routine or tips? Because your skin and hair always looks fantastic. It looks so healthy and vibrant. ☺️

Thank you so much for these. I used to do 2 of them but have since fallen back to old ways. As an always tired mom of 4 boys, this is just what I needed to hear today! God bless you & your family! 👍🏻 ☮️&💖 😊

OMG I am so with you. Your rythm influences the rhythm of your kids, so you are teaching them on the go. I go to bed between 8 pm and 8:30 pm every day, even on weekends. No matter what. I turn of the episode right in the middle if necessary. I listen to an audio book, the end is programmed. Every morning I wake at 3:45. The alarm starts at 4 am. My dog has the same rhythm. When there is an exception to the rule, when I am sick for example, at home and in bed the whole day, my dog goes crazy - and I go crazy, too. This helps me so much.

So on point “been useful” that’s what we need to strive for “been useful to humanity“ instead of constantly taking 🙏🏼

It’s a golden rule…love never fails…showing compassion to others is how we should be…value in everyone.thank you for the reminders.

Kallie, your videos are always fun and informative but this one was especially helpful. 6 easy things we can all incorporate in our lives that have big impact. I especially connected to what you said about being in your own bubble when you were in labor. When I'm sick or in pain I do the same thing but never knew how to describe it. Every tweak was golden and the suggestion of upbeat music is also right up my alley. Thanks for another great video! XXOO ❤️

I started meal planning about 8 months ago and it is the best thing I've ever done. Wish I'd done this when my kids were young. Great video! I always get so much out of your tips videos. Thnx!!!

Lots of people who quit coffee have found it life changing. I really need to get on the bedtime routine.

​@@fatigahdev8076 Love to see it!😁 hello!

My husband had to go to a different city today for work. He usually drops one kid to school and I drop the other one (different schools). So tomorrow morning is gonna be hard. So, I decided to make a list of everything we will have for school and work lunch, snacks and supper and prepare our clothes for the next day.I already know it's gonna make my life so much easier. One thing I also started doing is cleaning my dishes before going to bed and it feels so good in the morning to wake up to a clean kitchen so thank you 😊

You’re not the only one who discuss this things in KZread, but it counts to be very clear straight forward… that’s why i enjoy your videos!👍🏻♥️

Hey there🙋🏼‍♀️, I use a clock radio for my wake-up alarm. It’s going to take a minute to discover the station that consistently plays zen, calm wake up music but it makes a huge difference and I usually did not want to press snooze because of the great music. The other plus is your device should be off, and you have now successfully been device free for at least 8 hours and hopefully you can get through the breakfast rush without turning it on. That’s a beautiful thing ☮️💟🪴

Thank you ! Happy Mother’s Day 💐!

I already do most of these things, thankfully! Working from home on devices for a good portion of last year made me realize how much I did NOT want to be on my devices. With going back to college and working full time, I get plenty of computer time. I have fallen into that bad habit again and need to stop. With nearly grown sons going every direction, I make sure I am intentional in the time we do have together. Extended family dynamics have changed, so making those a priority when possible is important, too. So little time and so much to do! I am trying to get back into the habit of doing the dishes every night and hoping that spills over into other areas, too. This time change has not been kind either. I am ready for spring!

I am soooooooooo with you. I stopped the snooze button years ago and it definitely is a game changer. It drives me INSANE! The phone thing -- man.... I keep trying to figure out how to go back to paper planner to be able to cut the cord with my phone. I did start putting the social media screen time limits to help me be less likely to get sucked into the social media vacuum. Helps a lot.

Ha! Number 7! Hilarious! Also, I agree.

Thank you I love that song "Worth It" I think it's appropriate. When we are overwhelmed by the mess we forget to tell ourselves we are worth it because it makes us feel better

I have to agree about the meal planning, I have done this for years and it makes things so much easier! I know what to get at the grocery store, I know what we are having each night and that takes the stress out of it! Great tip!

Hello from Ireland!!! I Cannot thank you enough for these tips! I have started meal planning ( i should have been doing it as a chef anyway! ) but it has given me and my hubby back so much time!! saving money on our grocery billl too. We have 2 kids under 2 and it has been tough with postnatal depression too, I now feel like im getting my life back! :)

Thank you Kallie!! Love all your advice!

So good…did I miss the playlists? I was so excited to add them. Can you include a few?

Thank you

I’m way more productive when I’m fully rested. I naturally sleep from 12 to 8am, wake up naturally and refreshed, no alarm, no feeling tired, no wanting to sleep in more. If you’re getting enough sleep, you shouldn’t be feeling tired when you wake up. And I’m with you about coffee - never giving it up. I stick to 2 cups before noon, but would never even think about changing that. A HARD NO.

I spent last weekend without Wi-Fi or data (just used it minimally when I needed to) and dang it was so helpful! And so I added limits on “Screen Time” and WOW it is sooo helpful for me!!!!! You lose track of time when on apps!

I love the I Heart station Yacht Rock Radio. That puts me in a great mood. I can listen to it all over the world as we travel. In Mexico right now. God bless.

Would have loved a download for your upbeat music! I watch most of your video’s and they make a lot of common sense. Keep up the good work and your children are adorable and blessed to have a mommy like you. Enjoy your day👍

Hello! Each one you talked about, & with very good points to promote a better me/us, is so true. 👍 I have found them a BIG positive in my journey. And, I told myself, I have put each one into my day-by-day living. HOWEVER, you reminded me today that 2 of them have not been consistent. 😲😕 So thank you 4 the wake up. I am very thankful that you included the pay-it-forward. Thinking & giving outside of ourselves. Priceless! 😊💕

Been binging on your videos today...love your ideas an down to earth ideas...thx

I always go to sleep at the same time every night. Helps with migraines.

I absolutely appreciate you and love your channel!! 👏🏻☕😄 Hope you have a wonderful day!

“The more you respect others, the more you respect yourself” - this and vise versa are so true! You can’t love others and throw yourself under the bus

Great advice!

I swapped coffee for tea a couple years ago, and it was life-changing for me. I used to have headaches all the time and now I live headache-free. You can get the same amount of caffeine as coffee with high quality leaves, and there is no crash afterwards.

Great suggestions!! I, like you, believe we need to be kinder and gentler with our neighbors and have been practicing that for several years. I will, however, work on incorporating many of the other items asap.

A consistent night time routine and bed time really helps with making tomorrow a better day!

As usual , very informative, motivating , different content .. thank you very much 🙏

Don’t make me beg for the playlist girl. Haha Love your videos

On a completely random note, your makeup looks flawless - would love a new tutorial video!

I’ve been binging your videos lately and find them incredibly helpful. One thing that really got me was the “not going to bed with a dirty kitchen” one cuz that was my biggest setback every single morning. These are all great tips but I admit when you got to the 7th all I could think was *HAHAHAHAHA no.*

Love the candid dancing footage, awww. Good tips, the morning and night routine are always so difficult for me but I'll just think of you as a good example!

Another good video. I enjoy seeing your content! Looking forward to checking out that book 📕

Such great tips! I implement most of them! As a mom of 5, my life is lived to a soundtrack! I've got music playing as I wake up folks, cook, clean, sit in carpool lane, etc.. I do use the snooze (with phone across the room) but not necessarily to go back to sleep just to help wake slowly...not a fan of waking up and just jumping up and going so I have (2) 5 minute snoozes, the first to just wiggle my toes, stretch...the second is to think about what I'm doing that day as I make my bed and head to the bathroom! I usually stay off my phone for first hour of the day, excluding music app, unless I hear a notification! It's a hard no for me too on getting rid of my coffee😉🤣🤣🤷🏾‍♀️❤🙏🏾

I also did a vegetarian 🌱 stint for a while; and upgraded to organic/natural and grass-fed meats. Quality makes a HUGE difference!

Love these tips!! Your meal planning video has been a GAME CHANGER for me! Thank you!

Ok. 7:15, the snooze, now I really needed to hear that. The way you explain it is so convincing. And so true. 😅

Thank you for these tips and keep up your amazing content! 😍

I love your videos! I especially loved the last tweak. 🤣🤣 I do need to have a set bedtime. I’m retired so I’ve just been going to bed when I feel like it but most the time wake up early so I only get about 5-6 hours maybe. I feel horrible in the mornings. I’m one with migraines, sinus issues, a few other health related things so it’s really hard when I don’t get enough sleep. I love music! I should have thought of that back when I had my kids. I listen to music all the time. My biggest problem at night is scrolling on my phone. Ugh! I need to leave it in another room or something but I don’t. 😩

Loved this, thanks Kallie

I cracked me up to see the look on your dog’s face when you were dancing with your daughter. He/she looked like a teenager who was mortified by his parents - believe me, my teen gives me that look quite often, which makes me only want to do it more. Share the playlist if you get a chance - music does lift you up. I listen to the same song every morning while making my bed. It’s made a mundane/hated chore quite enjoyable. Great tweaks! ~ Linda

Good advice, funny humor

I’m not kidding, I would hit snooze for 30-35 minutes in the morning. Then I started putting my phone across the room so I was forced to stand up and get in the morning. Life changing!!!

I had to rewind #7! 😳 I was like "wait, what?" ... And had the BEST laugh! ❤Great tips!!😁

Kallie, I wanted to recommend the book, "Go Together" by Shola Richards too. He talks all about Ubuntu as well and it's such a real interpretation of why "I am because we are" means so very much! Love your content, you're amazing!

I added the following tweak: an hour before I go to sleep I stop scrolling social media. I still use my iPad to read eBooks, but it’s on do not disturb so I don’t get notifications. I started this when I looking at social media became doom scrolling 5 years ago, and them couldn’t sleep well becauseI was so enraged. My sleep has improved dramatically since I instituted the 1 hour before bedtime rule.

I have just discovered your channel this afternoon and I'm busy watching and creating playlists to come back too. New subscriber here!

Love love your channel!! So good.. so much GREAT information..even if it does not pertain to me (ie: babies-mine are grown🥳) I watch every one. Enjoy so much! Wonder if you could do a video on your journey from vegetarian to non? I would be so interested to see your motivation. I have been vegan for 20 years and recently changed…so I’m curious about your evolution. Thanks for a great video!!
