How I'm Getting My Life Together Before 2027 🎧 End Of Year Reset Vlog, Declutter, Self Care For Moms

Imagine where you could be by January if you stopped waiting for January. I'm sorry. You have been here for any amount of time. This is not going to be a surprise. I find that this time of year, I don't know what happens to me, but I tend to change my life in November. I think there's this mentality that when we get to this point of the year, we look back at the goals that we set in January and we realize all the things that we haven't accomplished. So we tell ourselves, we'll just start again in January. Let's start again. And then these two months go to complete crap. But here's what I want to remind you. So years ago on November 1st, I started a six-month challenge. At the time, I had no idea what this is going to do for me. It was everything. Honestly, that was the start of... Like my life looks completely different than it did when I started that challenge. I had no idea how much change would happen. for me not again not only physically mentally spiritually emotionally all of it I became a version of myself I did not know existed and it all started November 1st so I just have this thing about getting your life in order in November not waiting for the new year so because of that I've just been thinking a lot about the things that I personally set out to do at the beginning of the year you know the things I wanted to accomplish the habits I wanted to build the person I wanted to become and I've realized in a few of those areas I've gotten a little bit off track that's normal we derail that's just part of life but just because the year is almost over I am not I'm not giving up on those things. So today we're gonna get our lives back on track. I am going to be doing a major deep declutter of my house, getting serious about my fitness and nutrition again, establishing a skincare routine, and probably most importantly, working on my mindset. Oh my gosh, these clouds are driving me insane. They just keep coming and going. So the lighting is just whack. But anyway, what are we listening to? What are we watching? What are we telling ourselves every single day? I just wanna be more intentional about all of it. So with that being said, my hope is that this video inspires you to revisit some of the goals that you set out to do at the beginning of the of the year and not to beat yourself up about the things that you weren't able to accomplish, but really to remind you that you do still have time. A lot can happen in 60 days. You do not need a new year to become a new version of yourself. So let's get into it. I mentioned earlier my favorite thing to do this time of year is to give my house a good declutter. I think part of that reason too is because I go really hard on Christmas. You know I deck these halls and they are covered like every square inch of my house is covered in garland and there's something about opening up a closet and having everything just fall on top of you. By that point I'm just like wanting to blow my house up. I'm over it. I hate it when there's just so much visual clutter because Christmas but then also your cabinets, your drawers, your closets are just also full of clutter. That's actually what will drive me insane. So it is time to organize I like to start in all of my kids closets. I will go through all of their clothes, anything that doesn't fit them anymore. We are going to create a large donate pile. I also do the same thing with the kids toys. So I will go through all of their closets, the toy area, we're going to get to that in just a minute, but my younger two do have toys in their room, as you can see. So I like to get rid of whatever they're no longer playing with, but this is also a good time for me to, it's almost like it triggers memories of things that they've been asking for over the year. Sometimes this is just a good little memory jogger to also go through their toys. So I'm going to be getting rid of anything that they no longer play with. Then the key here is I'm trying to leave enough space for new things. So as they're getting new winter clothes or things that they might need, but then also new toys, because obviously Christmas, they're going to be getting some new stuff. Again, what I can't stand though is when they already have too much and then I know more stuff is coming. Oh my gosh, it's so stressful to even think about. Anyway, Anyway, I always feel good after doing. doing this. So if you're needing some motivation to do this yourself hopefully this video will give you the kick in the pants you need. This is embarrassing. Okay I've been avoiding it. I definitely don't want the world to see this so but here I am showing the world the most embarrassing room in my whole entire house. So we moved here a couple months ago. This has kind of been the catch-all if you can't tell. The laundry room is randomly kind of big so I'm using this space for multiple things um it's kind of become the toy room a storage room and the laundry room we're going to tackle this because this is the one area i'm like i can't even think about decorating for christmas or getting more stuff for christmas getting gifts whatever i cannot even think about that when i have a room that looks like this so I'm happy to finally tackle this room once and for all. My goal here is to have absolutely nothing over here in the corner, nothing. I want nothing here, nothing on the floor. The shelves, I want them to be organized and the toys organized, and I'm gonna donate everything that they're not playing with once again. But because my kitchen is so small, I have zero storage in my kitchen. I have a little pantry enough to put whatever we're eating at the moment, but I have nowhere to store. baking goods or big pots and pans. So I am grateful this storage room exists because I literally had nowhere to store all of this. It's not going to be pretty by any means. Like this is not aesthetically cute, but it is what it is. And I'm grateful that I have at least some extra storage in this house. There's this little tiny area under the stairs that I thought that might be a better place to shove all the kids toys. It was too much for my eyes to view. I don't like so much stuff all in one room. So I think having it tucked under the stairs is a good place to just have it stored. And then it's kind of funny because as I'm cleaning, my youngest came in and just started playing with everything, which is, I mean, obvious. If you're a mom, you understand this is how it goes. As you're cleaning, your kids are making a mess. It's kind of just the way it goes, I also wanted to mention, you can see here, I have a washer dryer, which I haven't had in many years. I had like the one and done unit. This was in my rental. So I just am using this for now. I didn't want to move my washer here as well. So yeah, I think I did have someone mention, Hey, did you bring your washer dryer with you? So this is what I'm using for now. We made it to the finale. We're done. We're going to be done cleaning after this. This is the last thing that I'm getting to, at least in this video, winter's coming. And so I really need to handle this closet. It's just, I mean... You saw. You saw what it looks like. What I need to do is make sure that we have all of our coats hanging here. This is mostly my stuff but I need to go find all the kids things. Find everybody's boots. I need to reorganize our shoe rack. Oh I also picked up one of those mats specifically for wet shoes. Those are super helpful for us folks over here up in Utah or anywhere that gets all the snow. I'll shut up now so that I can get to organizing. Amazing. Nothing is more annoying to me than when I finally do something and it took me five minutes. This was not a hard task. Why do we put things off for so long when it's not that big of a deal? It did not take that long. I'm just glad it's done now. So we're gonna go, am I including this in this video? Dinner, I wasn't sure if I was, but maybe, why not? I'm gonna go prep dinner. We're having a crock pot meal and those are always my favorite. And they take eight to 10 business days, eight hours to marinate. I'm gonna go make dinner and then we'll get onto the rest of the video. We're at the time of year where I'm freezing in the morning. Right now, I'm so freaking hot. I also just came in from the grocery store. So just like lugging everything in. I'm sweating now. But we're going to put a crock pot. We're going to throw a crock pot recipe together. This is probably the easiest recipe you're ever going to see in your whole entire life. There's three ingredients. And this is one that everybody's going to love. 10 out of 10, five stars. Everybody in my family likes this. So let me flip this around so I can show you. For some of these voiceovers that I'm doing today, I am so sick, and so if I sound a little raspy, it's because I am, and I don't have time to do this on another day, so. Just bear with me. Anyway, if you're a fan of the sweet pork from Cafe Rio or Costa Vida, you're going to love this meal. To start, you're just going to need a pork tenderloin. You're going to dump an entire thing of salsa over it and about one cup of brown sugar and let it do its thing in the crock pot for about six to eight hours. We love the sweet pork salads in our house, so I just grabbed the ingredients to throw a salad together. Starting with a tortilla, we do the cilantro lime rice, black beans, romaine, tortilla strips, and then for the dressing, we love the cilantro lime. ranch and then pico if you're into that. Oh, I also forgot cheese. I did have some cheese, but I forgot to put it here. Oh, please tell me, can you hear me? Gosh, I swear. Oh yes, you can. Okay. Hmm. I have recorded many times where I found out after the fact and I was editing that the sound was not on. I think actually my last video that happened once. So the next portion of the video I wanted to talk about really just locking in with fitness. So I'm on day, I think 635, if I'm right. I try to check every day 635 days of closing my rings. If you're an Apple user then you know what that is. It's just doing all your goals every single day. I've been consistent okay doing some kind of physical activity every single day but I feel like there's a difference between whatever I'm doing and sticking to an actual program so that's what I want to change. I just really want to lock in. I do feel like I do this at this time of year every single year and maybe part of it is because my birthday is right before Christmas and I think there's something to going into the next Next year, like that milestone, my best self. That's what I like to do. I like to try to always just improve from last year. And so I feel like I was just getting an itch to do this at this time of year. So I'm adding it to this video, but I do feel like I could go into way more detail in another one. I just don't want to cover every single thing that I could because this video will be way too long. And I'm sure there's some of you that just don't care. You could skip to the next part. All right, with that being said, I created a program with the help of ChatGPT. I'm not saying I recommend everybody doing this. I know a thing or two about fitness, macros. so many years so I'm not coming at this like completely clueless but what I did is I went into chat and I put in what my goals were with fitness and with nutrition and so based off of what I put in here I got a program and so this is this 12-week program that I'm going to stick to. I still do my walks every day but I want to incorporate much more weight training and my only thing is I might end up getting a gym membership. I just don't like the gym. I like being able to just wake up and work out in my living room so I'm that's what I'm going to do this workout, but I'm going to do this for about a week here. If I'm just feeling like I need a little bit more, I will end up getting a gym membership. So that's something that I'll keep you guys posted on if I change. As far as my goal, I'm not looking to lose weight, but more of like body recomp. I need to tone up a little bit. You know, that's just what my goal is. I just want to improve. That's really it. I want to physically feel better. I want to feel stronger. I'm feeling I feel like a weak little dork these days and I need some muscle. Where'd it go? It's gone. So we need to fix that. Let me just show you. Let me show you what I, what I got. Where did it go? No, that's not what it was. Where are you? Hopefully this saved. Okay, yes it did. Based off of a home situation, home workouts, it's pretty cool. This is what it's showing me. So it's showing me like all of the workouts. If you're completely clueless, this is gonna be helpful for you because it's showing like actual pictures and stuff. So this is showing me like an example. Monday would be glutes and quads. It's showing me how many exercises I should do with each movement. And then Tuesday, shoulder and arms. What's today? What are we gonna do today? I'm not even sure. Arms today or legs? I guess we're gonna find out. We're gonna find out. Anyway, so I have the whole little program right here. And then I also have my, for my nutrition, I put in things that I personally like to eat. Like I'm not a fish girl. I hate fish. Ooh, the smell of fish. Any type of fish, disgusting. Unless it's tuna. I mean, everyone says that's the most disgusting fish, but I love, I love tuna. So anyway, I put in what I like, how often I like to eat, the macros that I wanna stick to. And then it created me a meal plan and a grocery list. Which was ideal. So that's pretty cool. I think we're going to go get a couple groceries for the week too. Maybe we'll do that in this video. The number one goal for me with my nutrition is to get more protein. And I know I struggle with that. And then I also struggle with water. I just don't love water. When Diet Coke exists, it's really hard. To just drink water. Yesterday, I did not let myself drink one Diet Coke until after dinner, when I was watching a show with the boys. That was my first Diet Coke of the day and I felt so proud. I was so proud of myself. I don't even wanna tell you how many cans deep I usually am by that point, but it's not good. So those are like my main goals. Enough protein. I need to drink my freaking water. And then I'll probably cover some supplements that I'm taking because I do feel like those help. So I'll talk about that in just a minute. But we need to get our workout on. Otherwise, I'm just going to avoid it. Workouts and walks are usually the two things I don't want to do. But once I'm done, I just feel so much better mentally. And then, I mean, we have enough scientific evidence of why it's good for you and what it does mentally for you as well. But I swear it also really helps me with... My nutrition like I make better food choices when I do those things. Anyway, I'll shut up. Let's get to our workout I'm gonna do a day today and I shouldn't have gotten full glam before this but I have a place I gotta go. This is the only time I had to work out before we go on with our day I gotta go make some breakfast and I think today i'm making some runny eggs on some toast maybe with a little avocado. Let's go Dang it Okay. As promised, I'm sharing some supplements that I'm taking and are these necessary? No, the few that I am taking are bioactive peptides, which means no pokes and no side effects. One is a drink and the other one is a capsule. The capsule is designed to modulate the gut brain signaling axis and helps with cravings. So what I've noticed is my food noise has significantly decreased if it's not completely gone away. I think that's actually why a lot of people love the GLP-1s is for food cravings. And if you can get it in a natural peptide, I think that's just a better option. And then the powder helps with muscle and the more muscle you have on your body, everything's going to be functioning better. If you're not familiar with peptides, I would do some research on these. They basically act as biological text messages that tell your body to perform specific functions. So they are super great if you're needing any kind of support. And then quickly I'm just sharing my little grocery store haul. These are just a few of my groceries I needed for the week. I personally love when people share these types of things, so that's why I That's why I included it in here. All right, jumping into skincare and I'm only sharing this because I'm almost 38 and I need to get really serious about my face. I can just tell it's aging. So, and I'm not trying to look younger. I mean, maybe I am a little bit, who doesn't want to look younger? Anyway, I've used the same cleanser for a hundred years, just the basic store brand. But something I've noticed about my skin the last few years is it's just really dry, which dry skin makes you look older in my opinion. So something I've added to my routine is a hydrating mask. And I do this at At least once a week, and I've done this for about the last. Last year, something I've added a little more recently to my skincare routine is this peptide slash stem cell system and OMG, I am obsessed. Let me first start by saying I paid for this. This was not sent to me or given to me, but one of my besties on IG, I've never met her in person, but we're friends. She's been sharing some of the test subjects as this was about to launch and I was. Absolutely blown away by the results people were getting in the first 30 to 60 days on this stuff. So let me explain. This Renew drink is an internal. So this is made from peptides found in hibiscus, and this helps your body produce 68% of its own collagen in just a matter of days. I'm going to be showing some results from people that are just drinking this daily. They're not even using the other two products. Bonus, I hear it works a little bit better if you're drinking it in a holiday glass of some kind. JK, JK. The Revive Serum is a peptide Stem Cell Serum. It helps improve skin renewal, firmness, texture, and elasticity. And then for the moisturizer, Replenished is made with Korean ingredients, which we know is the bomb.com. This is an emulsion and it has all of the good things. It's got the peptides, stem cells, ceramides. I'm sure there's a couple of things I'm forgetting, but this targets visible signs of aging, replenishes hydration and supports a firmer, smoother complexion. The best part is they offer a 100% money back guarantee. So there's no risk to try. For me, that was a huge selling point, especially because I was ordering the entire kit. I do have a $10 off coupon code in the description if you're interested in trying. I've also been taking pictures to document my results, so I will be sharing those soon. And if you only could pick one from the three, 100% go with the dream. The results with this have just been crazy. Amending this with some simple ways that I'm being more intentional about what I'm allowing into my mind. And this is one of the simplest changes we can make because it doesn't require more time or effort, just making some subtle different decisions. So think about how much time we're constantly consuming without even realizing it. For example, when I'm folding laundry or cleaning the house or getting ready in the morning, I almost always have something on, whether it's just trashy TV or music or just, I mean, it could be anything. There's nothing There's nothing wrong with that, but what I've started doing. I'm just choosing to listen to things that are going to inspire me that might be educational or they're going to just help me grow in some way. I really believe that what we consistently consume shapes the way that we think and the way that we think influences the way that we see ourselves and the decisions that we make and ultimately the direction our lives go. Even just 30 minutes a day adds up to over 180 hours a year. So just imagine how much you can learn or how differently you might think after those 180 hours. I'm also working on shifting my focus away from everything that's not going right in my life and putting energy towards things that I can control and what I'm grateful for and what I'm working towards. I think that's the biggest takeaway from this whole reset is changing your life doesn't always require some huge dramatic decision, but sometimes it's just the smallest little shifts that you make consistently and over time you look back and everything's changed. So anyway, that's all I had for today's video. I hope that you left inspired in some way, whether it's just to finally Let me declutter your house or maybe tackle some of those last few things that you had on your dream boards for the year. Whatever it is, I hope you left with some inspiration. Thank you guys so much for being here and for watching this video. And if you haven't yet subscribed, please do so. And I will see you guys in the next video.
