Starting point is 00:00:09 Hello, my love. Welcome back to the busy yet pretty podcast. I'm your host, Jaden Haley. If you're new here, welcome. I talk all about how to become the best version of you, live your life, and just enjoy your day. We all deserve to become the best version of ourselves. And yes, that may sound cliche, but it's true. You have the power to create a life and every day you wake up. You have the opportunity to shape it to what you want it to be. So I'm so excited you're joining me today. And I'm very excited about today's episode. Today's episode is the perfect spring refresh for motivation to getting organized and just feeling like yourself again. The winter blues are passing us and we are just getting into our whimsical spring feel. And let's be honest, I feel like we all can agree on this.
Starting point is 00:00:55 The seasons definitely play a role on how we feel about ourselves. Just like the liveliness and just the confidence and it's normal. Like I am destined to feel not as cute as I do in the winter versus how I do in the summer. in the spring because we're getting out in the sun, we're going outside versus the winter's cold, chilly, our skin is dry and we're just not as more free and alive feeling as we usually are. So if you've been in a slump or if you just feel like you need a good reset to start fresh and honestly just have that spring refresh you're needing, I am here for you today. And you are not doing this alone.
Starting point is 00:01:33 I am doing this with you. So let's get into today's episode. But first, let's do our weekly review. This week, I have just been enjoying the post-birthday decor. I really just decked out. Me and my mom really just decked out my entire room, my backyard, just everything. And it just is so fun to just like enjoy the next few days after your birthday. I am a Pisces. Okay, I always am the person who says, I'm a Pisces. I'm a Pisces. I'm a Pisces rising. As if I know anything about signs other than myself, I will ask people, oh, what's your sign? And I kid you not I know not one thing about another sign, but I do know
Starting point is 00:02:11 I'm a Pisces and a Pisces Rising. And it definitely shows because instead of just enjoying my birthday on one day, I have to have a birthday month. So I have just been enjoying my birthday all month long. Another thing this week is I have just been trying to spend more time outdoors, which has been really nice. Even things as simple as going on a walk after brunch just makes you feel more in touch with reality and it also just makes you feel like you did something else in your day that wasn't just like a broken record of school, work, and repeat. So it just is nice to give some variety into your day, get fresh air, so I've been loving that. Lastly, this week, I got a new therapist who I really like. It definitely takes some therapists to connect with the one that you're meant for.
Starting point is 00:02:55 Anyways, I went in and I just had my first session with her and I kid you not, she just affirmed what another therapist has said in the past where she's like, oh, you're, you know, you're ADHD and OCD seems to be sometimes at an all-time high. And honestly, some people don't like those labels. And I don't like to label myself, obviously. But I do also like to know, for instance, what I have, so I know how to manage it. And I know a lot of you guys also struggle with ADHD or OCD. Not everyone, but I have received some messages. And this is just for me to say, you're not alone. I know a lot of people idolize creators, celebrities, whoever it is, maybe your best friend. whoever you admire or idolize.
Starting point is 00:03:38 Remember, people all have their own things that they're going through. Nobody's perfect. Trust me, as much as I say the motivational things I say on the podcast, I have my days, I have my worries, and it's just about knowing how to manage those things and enjoy your day, which is why I have the podcast. That's literally the main reason why I have the podcast is talking about experiences that are real life things and giving you the motivation and know that. that you were not alone. I was bullied. I used to eat lunch in the bathroom stalls. And so were maybe
Starting point is 00:04:10 you. And you were not. And it feels like you're kind of the only one who went through that, but you're not. I've also had an eating disorder. You know, many people have a rocky relationship with food. It's so beautiful to be transparent. I know I'm going off on a tangent, but it is so important to be transparent, especially in this day and age, because it can feel so lonely. And let me just say, nobody's life is perfect, no matter whose you think is. Of course, people struggle more than others with certain things, but I just want you to know, this is not to make you feel invalidated when I say, you know, other people struggle with things and other people have ADHD or OCD, but it's for you to realize that someone else is in your shoes as well. I am in your shoes as well if you were
Starting point is 00:04:56 someone who struggles with that. Like, I have my own worries and my own anxiety and my own things I go through. But I have the podcast to show, hey, this is how I enjoy my day and do things in my day that helps combat those things that maybe try to bring me down. But instead, those things that I'm sharing really bring me up and those are my energy givers. So long story short, that was a little tangent. But I thought that was really important to talk about since it kind of inspired me for my recent therapy session. Then I'm like, you know what? Other people that are listening to this are, of course, experiencing very similar things. And everyone experiences, things of their own, and it just is a reminder that I'm rooting for you. I'm so proud of
Starting point is 00:05:37 you and trust me, you are not alone. Okay, now into the current up sessions. My current up session right now at the moment is a matcha with pistachia milk. Also, matcha with pistachia milk and strawberry puree syrup. Like, I love nothing more than a strawberry match. It is so spring-like, but even just a plain match with pistachia milk is my favorite thing. This is really, okay, this is really far-fetched, but to me it tastes like ice cream. I don't know why. It just reminds me of this like certain ice cream, but I love it. Another crab session right now is two-piece sets.
Starting point is 00:06:15 I think there's nothing more chic than a two-piece set. I usually love to style my things individually. Like I love a different top with a different bottom. But lately, with it being spring and then going to summer, I have just been loving the little two-piece set moment. My last current obsession at the moment is my pink and green color-themed Google Calendar. And I swear I've said this probably the last two episodes in my current obsessions. But I can't lie, it makes you so much more motivated when your planner and your calendar is organized and it's pretty to look at. So if you're lacking in motivation and planning with your planner or your Google Calendar, I really recommend like sectioning it out and color coordinating it into how you like it because it just makes you more excited to.
Starting point is 00:07:01 plan for the day and plan for the week ahead. Now on to the goal of the week. My goal of the week is to start doing some morning swims and cold plunges. I say cold plunge because it is so cold in the morning to take a swim. Even with it being spring out, it is freezing. But we'd love to take some swims in the morning just to wake myself up and maybe even after a walk. Okay, another goal of the week right now is to work more from cafes and hotels. I used to do this all the time and it made me feel so good and get so much work done.
Starting point is 00:07:30 but whenever I'd go to cafes or like work at a hotel in like the lobby area, I would get so much work done. And I was on like a little streak doing that for a while a few years ago. And then I kind of fell off and I haven't done it since. But I really want to start working from cafes and hotels whenever I'm on my computer or my phone. My last goal of the week is to plan a little girl's trip with my mom. I already booked a few little things. But I want to start doing little one night stays places with my mom. I feel like it's so nice and it just gives you the perfect little girls day and you can stay like a 48 hour time period at the property.
Starting point is 00:08:07 So just get there in the morning and then leave late the next day. Now on to your affirmation of the week. I'm going to find myself again this spring. Maybe you've already found yourself, but maybe you have just been in a slump and are trying to refine yourself. But I love that affirmation so much. Now on to your self-love question of the week. When am I procrastinating that I'm going to do this spring? I love that so much because honestly, we all have our things that we procrastinated in the winter,
Starting point is 00:08:34 so it's time to lock in on them this spring. Now on to the podcast review. This review is from Caitlin and Caitlin said, This podcast might be my favorite yet.

Starting point is 00:08:57 Without further ado, let's get into it. today's episode. Like I said earlier, today's episode is the perfect spring refresh. We will have the motivation to get organized and feel like yourself again. I'm honestly so ready to feel like me again. I feel like I'm just, my skin is not as glowing as it usually is in the springtime. And I don't feel as like, um, what should I say? Walkable and movable. I feel like I've been kind of a lump on the log lately. But that's what winter does to you. So it's time to get back to how. How. we feel our best and you know deep down what makes you feel your best so we're really just going to channel that but when it comes to spring it just is perfect to have a natural reset energy and let's be
Starting point is 00:09:41 honest everyone craves a change and routines and clarity in the springtime so if you're feeling off and just not yourself unmotivated disconnected these are just the simple ways that you can reset without having to overwhelm yourself because honestly a big reset can be really intimidating sometimes that's why I'm calling it a refresh. We're not resetting, we're just refreshing. So it's no pressure, and this is all to benefit yourself. This is nothing that should feel like chores or homework or distress and pressure. This is supposed to be exciting and just making you feel like you again.
Starting point is 00:10:18 I can't be the only one who has this like dream item of theirs that they always see, whether it's a bag, a sweater, a top, and you're like, I just need that, but it's like sold out everywhere. That's me with this one vintage Duny and Burke bag. I literally was looking everywhere for it and I somehow found one on a poshmark. But not just one. I found multiple of them at such a good price and I was like, wait, this is just too good to be true. So if you know me, you know I am a poshmark girl.
Starting point is 00:10:45 Poshmark is a marketplace where you can list and sell as well as buy new items, vintage pieces, gently used, luxury pieces. They really just have it all.

If you have been around for a while, you know the story with my podcast where I almost didn't start it, which is crazy to me because to think that I wouldn't have been where I am today if I didn't start, all the what ifs and doubts can just add up and
Starting point is 00:12:55 be the one thing stopping you between you and getting the dream that you want. And let's say starting a business is you. And you want that dream business of yours. You have the idea, but all your what ifs and doubts can add up and feel so overwhelming. But one of the best things that's going to help you get through that roadblock of what ifs is having help and assistance.

So let's talk about why you feel unorganized and not like yourself. Usually when you're feeling unorganized and just feeling off or in a slump and feeling unmotivated has to do what's happening in your environment and in your brain. So number one, mental clutter. I am sure that you just have too many thoughts and unfinished task and no clarity.
Starting point is 00:14:33 And again, that's normal. We all hit that point where it almost becomes like a little burnout point. Another thing that may be kind of holding you back in your head is no structure and your routine. the feeling of like everything is just like a broken record where days are blurring together and also nothing just feels intentional. That's kind of where I said even a walk in the day kind of gives you something extra and different in your day. That pulls you away from like work or school, whatever you're doing that kind of makes you feel like you're living the same day over and over.
Starting point is 00:15:02 Another reason why you may be feeling unorganized and just down in a slump is overconsumption. And do not hop on me and say, well, year one to talk. because let's be real I am one to talk. I am one to talk. I love things and I love to overconsume, unfortunately. I love have like when I take photos on my phone, instead of taking one photo of something on like my meal I'm eating, I will take 15 to 30. So that's where I'm trying to work on it myself or even if I go shopping for instance. I see I have a full card of things. I just have the urge to buy it all. and then I'm like, you know, well, if I don't end up wearing it, I'll just donate it. Or I'll give it to a friend.
Starting point is 00:15:48 But instead, lately I've been doing this, which I'm really proud of myself of, instead of buying everything, I just narrow down and think, okay, I can always come back and get it if I want it, but let's see right now, what are my top two or three favorite things? So in general, let's think about overconsumption as another negative in our life that may be pulling us down. But again, I love that word. I simply a maximalist, which can be looked at as overconsumption, but I promise you, if you knew me, you know that I am more of a maximalist and I don't overconsume as much as I do maximalize everything.
Starting point is 00:16:26 That said, I am taking accountability and I do want to work on it to be a little more simple and minimal. Another thing that may be pulling you down is burnout. Burnout is something that we all come across and some more than others, I am someone who gets burnt out very fast, very quick. And you may be as well. That could be from school or work or just too many things going on at once. Sometimes we just lock the motivation, low energy, and then we just start to have avoidance and everything feels just harder than it is.
Starting point is 00:16:55 So with all those things, I'm sure that you can relate to at least one of those things, maybe even all. And it's important that we realize, okay, let's change some things in order to get those things alleviated and just taking a load off of us. So first up in this spring refresh, something that you really need to be doing is refreshing your space. You have the option, of course, you can have a full reset on your room. I like to have a full reset on my room once a month. And then every Sunday, I kind of have my Sunday reset where I just pick up little things and I reorganize it, but it's not a huge mess because I didn't save up a mess for weeks and weeks on end. So instead, I just do some
Starting point is 00:17:35 tightening every single day and then I do a little refresh on my room every Sunday and then once a month I'll have a full on reset where like I'm cleaning the baseboards I'm wiping the windows down but then on Sundays you can just like make your bed change your sheets clean your desk off and just do all the little things where it honestly is like little maintenance and it makes it really easy to keep up then decluttering the visible areas is one of the most affecting things on your mood it will just instantly lift your mood because you're no longer seeing all the clustered in your visible space. And when it comes to just the reset basics that you can do every Sunday is clean your sheets, do your laundry, do your dishes. And those are just really quick achievements
Starting point is 00:18:18 and quick wins that you can celebrate. Some things that can feel like a spring refresh that gives you like almost like a small upgrade on your room and your house is candles. So let your candles do redecorate your room and add flowers. Another thing is open the windows, try to get some lighting in your space. Remember, a clean space is going to equal a calmer mind and just is going to make you feel easier to focus and feel more in control of. Our environment affects how we think. So if your environment, meaning your room, in your house, and your desk, and your bed is messy, your head is going to feel more messy. This is one that is not talked about enough. But when it comes to your spring refresh, it is essential that you reset your life
Starting point is 00:19:00 in the admin part. So we have a lot of back end work that we do, of course, when it comes to planning our week or organizing. But taking time into your admin work is going to literally save your life, save your routine and make you just feel overall more organized. So have your brain dump. There's things in your head that are bothering you, weighing you down, things that you need to get done.
Starting point is 00:19:22 Have your brain dump. And everything on your mind, task, stress reminders, write it down. Writing things down and looking at it is going to feel a lot more easier than just storing it all in your head. From there, section everything out that's an actual valuable task that you want to add to your schedule and routine. So you need to be organized. So make a calendar, make a planner a to-do list, and prioritize what actually matters. Do your top priorities. Pick like three things every single day that's a top priority. And let's say you have four other things that you want to do. Put that on a list in your notes app to do in case you finish those
Starting point is 00:19:58 things because if you list everything you need to get done and then you wake up in the morning look at your schedule. It's going to have like 10 different tasks and it's going to make you feel like, oh my gosh, this is too much. It's so overwhelming. Where do I even start? And then it makes you procrastinate and get zero done. So plan your week and that gives you direction instead of reacting every single day of worry and feeling overwhelmed and not knowing where to start. And it just is going to reduce anxiety and honestly it's going to make you feel like every single task, every single to do, has a place. Next up, this is very crucial for your spring refresh, but have a refresh on your mind and body. We prioritize work in school so much more than our personal being. Let me remind you, as I always say,
Starting point is 00:20:43 we did not come on earth to live for work or school. Your job, your grades, none of that is your identity and it's who we are as a person. I am one to talk since I am a workaholic, but I am really, really trying to work on that. So it's so important that I do. do this, you do this, we collectively do this, have a refresh on your mind, body, and soul. So go outside, get sunlight, fresh air. All those things are instant mood shifters. Another thing is move your body. It does not need to be a intense like stair master workout or a cycling workout. It can literally just be walking, stretching, mat Pilates. It can just be literally going outside and stretching your arms. Another thing is hydration. Hydration and eating simple meals
Starting point is 00:21:27 are going to support your energy and give you the mental clarity you need throughout the day. Stop having your coffee on an empty stomach or running off of only coffee and zero food during the day. Your body needs nutrients and needs food to function. Or maybe it's time to lay off so much processed foods and lock in on some more whole foods. With your processed foods, you can do a little both to have the balance, but make sure you're having the nutrients you need to feel that mental clarity and feel motivated in the day to get things done. because if we're running off of just coffee or just donuts and cereal, I kid you not, we're not going to feel the best we could feel.
Starting point is 00:22:09 If you have been around for a while, you know the story with my podcast where I almost didn't start it, which is crazy to me because to think that I wouldn't have been where I am today if I didn't start, all the what ifs and doubts can just add up and be the one thing stopping you between you and getting the dream that you want. And let's say starting a business is you. And you want that dream business of yours. You have the idea, but all your what-ifs and doubts can add up and feel so overwhelming. But one of the best things that's going to help you get through that roadblock of what-ifs is having help and assistance.

Starting point is 00:23:44 When becoming the girl on your vision board, it is so important to have a set wellness routine. But it doesn't have to be a lot of time, whether you're traveling or just having a spring refresh. Have something for your health that you can rely on. That's why I love AG1. AG1 is a daily health drink clinically shown to support your gut health and fill in common nutrient gaps. AG1 is so loved between me and my family. I drink it all the time, my mom, my dad, my brothers. My grandpa.
Starting point is 00:24:12 Like, we all love AG1 here. Most importantly, because it's so easy, you can literally just pour it into water, shake it up, and you're done. And it just feels so good to know that your energy, your immune health, and your gut health is all being supported. I seriously could not have a spring refresh without it. It's literally my favorite right now. Go to drinkag1.com slash pretty to get an AG1 flavor sampler
Starting point is 00:24:33 and a bottle of vitamin D3 plus K2 for free in your AG1 welcome kit with your first AG1 subscription order. That's $72 yours free. Only while supplies last. Go to drinkag1.com slash pretty. First spring, one of my favorite things has been my nails and when my nails are done because sometimes
Starting point is 00:25:01 I just don't have time to go to the nail salon to do my nails so I'll do them at home. The funny thing is I actually bring the same nail polish to the nail salon because it's just that good and I swear by it. I do the Olive and June gel polish and LHG and then a gel top coat. I use the Olive and June manny system.
Starting point is 00:25:18 Everything you need in one box for a salon quality manicure. I love how it doesn't chip and it lasts for seven or more days. Not only that, it comes down to being only $2 per manicure, which is a lot more affordable than going to the nail salon. But it has just been my current spring obsession because it just makes doing your nails at home so easy. So if you're looking for a new manicure routine, I really recommend it. You can visit olive and June.com slash pretty 20 for 20% off your first system. that's O-L-I-V-E-A-N-D dot com slash P-R-E-T-T-Y-T-Y-0 for 20% off your first system.
Starting point is 00:25:59 It's time to talk about habits. It's time you refresh your habits. Have your morning routine and you need to have some structure. Stop waking up and thinking, oh my gosh, you hear your alarm and then you're not knowing what to do and your clothes are everywhere and you have to just grab things, grab your coffee and go. You need to have some structure or that's always going to put you in a feeling a being in a hamster wheel the minute you wake up. You're going to feel like scatterbrain. Your mind is going to be racing and your heart is just going to be like pounding because you don't have any
Starting point is 00:26:28 structure in your routine. You don't need to be strict on yourself and having a wake up at 5 a.m. Go to the gym. As great as that is, maybe it's not feasible for you or maybe you don't even want to do that. But regardless, if you want it or not, you need some sort of structure. Even having two to three habits that are in the morning that you can rely on that you're going to do every, you know, day creates structure like no phone, maybe having water in the morning with electrolytes, and having some light movement like a little walk or even start your mornings with your night routine. Make your chia seeds the night before, make your overnight oats, so when you wake up in the morning, it's not stressful in thinking, oh, when am I going to eat and then just grabbing
Starting point is 00:27:08 a donut and coffee before you leave. I feel like I'm really hating on donut and coffees lately, but I'm not. I just am saying that as like examples. Those are great and divine and I love those myself in moderation, but in general, we need to have some structure and our morning in some nutrients to make us feel motivated and energized throughout the day. Now when it comes to your night routine, it signals to your brain to slow down and reset when you allow it to. So if you're scrolling on your phone until 3 a.m., your body's not allowing yourself to rest and slow down and reset for the next day. Instead, you're still on the same things your brain is going and your body's awake and not going with the sun. I always like to think of your body rises and falls asleep with the sun. Same thing
Starting point is 00:27:54 when it comes to food. When you wake up in the morning, eat with the sun. Wake up with the sun. When you go to bed, go to sleep and it's dark. Having that structure in your night routine is going to signal for you and your body to slow down and rest. And I'm guarantee you you're going to feel a lot more well rested when you wake up the next day. This ties into staying up at night and scrolling on your phone at 3 a.m. or scrolling between your work in school breaks when you need to be studying or working. Think about this. How much time you're spending do them scrolling. Yes, scrolling on your phone is great. I do it. We all do it. And we all have bad habits of doing it. I sometimes will catch myself. I'm like, how did a full
Starting point is 00:28:34 hour go by? I literally thought I was just scrolling for 10 minutes. And no, it was a full hour. So start being intentional every single time when you go on your phone or go and scroll on social media. I have an episode about this recently on how to stop doom scrolling and be more intentional. But doom scrolling is the perfect way to procrastinate because you're not having to do what you're wanting to do and you're seeing entertainment on your phone. So reducing doom scrolling is going to give less noise to your brain and more motivation. Next up, when it comes to habits is habits create stability when movement isn't there. I always love that quote and what it means is when let's say we're to wake up and not every day we're going to feel motivated. Not every day we're going to feel like,
Starting point is 00:29:16 oh, I want to go to the gym. I want to eat healthy. I want to do my work. Who does that? Like literally, who in the world feels motivated every single day? I know I don't. Some days I wake up and I'm like, you know what I could do? I could just sit all day, eat chocolate and lay in bed and definitely have those days. It's essential we do for our enjoyment of our soul. But in general, we can't do that every day. So it's important to have habits because that's going to create stability. If I know, okay, every night I'm going to lay out my gym clothes. So I wake up in the morning and my gym clothes are there. My shoes are there. All I have to do is wake up and go to the gym. That is a habit. And that gives me stability I need. So when I wake up and I think, oh, I don't want to work out today,
Starting point is 00:30:00 all my gym clothes are already laid out. All I have to do is put on my clothes and go to the gym. Okay. Next up, when it comes to feeling like you again, put effort in. into your appearance. Of course, when people say, it's not about your appearance. Of course. It's not about our appearance. It doesn't matter what anyone thinks. But it matters what you think. You want to feel good about yourself. So show up for yourself. It's going to shift how you feel internally when you show up for yourself physically. So wear outfits that you actually like. And that's going to give you almost like an identity reset. So maybe you're wearing things right now that you just feel comfortable in and you're not going out of your comfort zone to wear things that you actually like,
Starting point is 00:30:39 put on the clothes that you love. Like, if you see it on a girl on Pinterest or you see it on social media, your friend, you see somebody you like wearing it, you think it looks cute on them. Why are you not thinking it looks cute on you? You look just as good as they do in it. So stop thinking, oh, one day when I have a perfect body or a perfect nose or a perfect hair I'm going to wear those outfits? No.
Starting point is 00:31:02 Get the outfits on now because nothing's guaranteed. Our future is not guaranteed. All that's guaranteed is what you can do right now at the present moment. So create that identity for yourself. What do you like? Start wearing it. Another thing to feel like you again is start having solo hobbies and solo time for yourself to reconnect with yourself.
Starting point is 00:31:22 You're your own best friend. Be your own date. Be your own best friend. So what does that look like for you? Maybe going to coffee, going on a walk, having a little solo trip with yourself. It doesn't matter what it is. Spend time with yourself. And most of all, when it comes to feeling like you again, stop waiting on a reason to feel good.
Starting point is 00:31:42 Stop thinking, when I get the friends I like, I'll feel happy. When I get the boyfriend I like, I'll feel confident when they compliment me. Stop waiting on validation from others and waiting on achieving certain things physically to start feeling good about yourself. Now when it comes to romanticizing our life, which I love to talk about this. Of course, it's cliche, but it's not because here's why. you need to start doing it. Romanticizing your life is so underrated and people say it and people don't like it because everyone says it. But are you really romanticizing your life? Like are you seriously living your life as the girl you watch and videos does? Or are you living your life the way
Starting point is 00:32:23 you look at the girls on Pinterest? Start adding intention into your life. Music, candles, slow moments, frolicking around and almost even pretending like you were literally like as cringy as this may sound like your own character and your own story and most of all start living for your eight and 80 year old self you have to stop caring about the opinions of others because that literally does not matter when you start living for yourself and stop caring what people think like truly stop in your heart caring what anyone thinks and starts living for you you will finally be happy next step is make routines enjoyable when it comes to romanticizing your life so don't just have routines and habits and things that you have to do throughout the day as a chore to get through
Starting point is 00:33:08 them but instead make them enjoyable where you put on music put on a podcast have your macha while you do your laundry put your headphones in at the grocery store put a movie on while you cook dinner it's so important that you find small moments of happiness daily and stop waiting for big changes or overnight success to make you happy. Life feels so much better when you're present in it. Now lastly, when it comes to simple goals for spring, I want you to choose two to three realistic habits that you really want to lock in this spring. These can be daily goals or goals that you want to achieve that are more like, okay, this is a one goal or two goals that I want to achieve for spring. But choose your goals, choose your habits, and don't choose 10 goals to have by the end of the
Starting point is 00:33:56 the spring and don't choose five to ten different habits that you want to have all throughout your days. That's only going to leave you overwhelmed and our goal is to say calm, not overwhelmed, feel whimsical, light, and motivated. Another thing is have one thing that you look for to weekly. And don't just have it where it's sporadic, plan it out. So maybe go book a dinner reservation for yourself or go book a movie date with yourself or a little pottery class, a painting class, whatever it is have it planned have it book so you know what to do when that day rolls around and let that be a non-negotiable and i know those things that i listed can be kind of pricey but you can do so many things for yourself that is free i have so many videos and podcast episodes
Starting point is 00:34:42 on solo hobbies and solo dates you can take yourself on that literally costs zero dollars but like i said have something to look forward to that keeps you motivated and most of all when it comes to your spring refresh, everything we talked about, focus on consistency, not perfection. Remember, you don't need a full life overhaul or a full life reset in order to feel like you've achieved things and found yourself again. When it comes to progress, it's not going to come overnight. It's going to come from the small changes and healthy habits that add up that you do every day. Getting organized is going to make you feel like yourself again. This is all in your hand, so you have the permission to reset and start fresh for the spring.
