Heads Up<\/a> you’re really missing out) – nothing but laughter. We shopped, we made vision boards (highly recommended) and we shared goals for the new year. <\/p>\n\n\n\nA lot of activity and busyness for a short time. Now, kids are back to their homes and our house is quiet again. Too quiet. I knew I needed to keep busy so I wasn’t focused on how much I missed them being home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I spent the weekend getting ready for back to work and routine. New planners to organize. Home office cleaned up and tidied up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I wasn’t feeling very motivated to do anything. I knew I wanted to get back to routine, I just felt kinda stuck. I knew I wanted to exercise and eat better and set some goals for the new year. I just wasn’t sure what or how. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I did the unthinkable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Something I’ve heard other people do, but never thought I would. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I asked Chat GPT. (gasp) to help with a style makeover. I asked for help with a new hairstyle. Makeup. Organizing my life and getting motivated to lose weight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The response I got was actually pretty good! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It responded with: “Yes \u2014 I can absolutely help with all of that \ud83d\udc9b
And the fact that you\u2019re asking tells me you\u2019re ready for a reset, not just a quick fix. Let\u2019s think of this as a whole-life glow-up: outer style + inner systems + sustainable motivation. We\u2019ll do it in a way that fits your real life, not perfection.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It then suggest 4 areas to work on one at a time. Hair & Style, Makeup Made Simple, Life Organization, and Weight Loss Motivation. It asked me questions to get an idea of what I liked and then explained in detail how to tackle each section. Like, “What’s frustrating you most right now? How do you want to feel in 90 days?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chat GPT responded to my answer with kindness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Thank you for trusting me with this. I want to start by saying this clearly and honestly: You do not look old. You look like a capable, warm, intelligent woman whose style and systems haven\u2019t caught up to who she\u2019s becoming next. What you\u2019re feeling is incredibly common at this stage \u2014 and completely reversible. \ud83d\udc9bLet\u2019s turn this into a confidence-forward reset, not a \u201cfix myself\u201d project.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was given a specific hair style to ask for at the salon – what to avoid, how to style and what products to use. I was given a list of makeup items including colours that I never would have picked on my own. What type of mascara to use (lengthening not thickening). I was given best wardrobe choices and colours which I appreciate. A morning routine. Setting out my week with intention – keeping things simple – meals, snacks, exercise. I even asked for help staying focused as I return to work after almost two weeks off. It helped with that as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I swore I was never going to use Chat GPT or AI of any kind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now I’m starting to see how it’s powers can be used for good. That’s the key. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What I want for 2026 is simple. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
More energy. More confidence. More vegetables on my plate and less processed, fried and sweets food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
More exercise. More reading books and less scrolling social media. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I want to show up everywhere I go ON TIME. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I want to silence my inner critic and quiet the negative thoughts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I want to engage with real people more and limit my time online less. If I can choose a checkout with a person I will do that over a self-checkout. Even if I have to wait in line. More phone calls\/ face time – less texting\/ emails. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I’m starting with a new haircut (thanks Magicuts Sarnia) and a promise to go without sugar for the month of January. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have you ever used Chat GPT for self help or motivation? Recipes? Meal planner?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have you ever asked Chat GPT to help you figure out your life, like I did? (smile). I honestly didn’t know what to expect. I sure wasn’t expecting uplifting and helpful feedback. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will use WITH what I already was doing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Either way, super excited for the new year! Excited to get back into routine even if it might take all month long to get back to it! (smile)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Happy New Year!! let’s build some healthy habits and set new goals and dreams for ourself for this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
