And when you do speak, you hesitate, you overthink every sentence, you worry people don't understand you or that you don't sound natural.

Chapter 3: How do comfort and clothing play a role in settling in?
Do you get into some sort of special clothes or what?
Of course. Absolutely. When I come home, it's the best part of the day. Yeah. If I've been out or something. And in the winter, I'll put on pajama pants, nice fleece pajama pants. Yeah. A pair of slippers, have some dinner, watch some TV. And in the winter, probably just like, you know, like shorts or very comfortable. I think the key is comfortable clothes for me are part of settling in.
What about you, Michelle? What's your routine?
Yes. For me, it's about the fuzzy socks. A shower. I mean, you know, there's the... You know, some nights when I get home, it was funny the other night we somehow my whole family was upstairs at like 630 not sleeping, but then I did a Peloton and like, you know, but we were all kind of like, it's like the going the ritual of like, okay, now we're going upstairs.
Chapter 4: What is the difference between 'settle in' and 'settle down'?
It feels like the night is separated. But for me to truly feel like, okay, it's the fuzzy socks, my pajamas, a shower, because I'm a night shower, and just getting all my night tasks out of the way, like the brushing of the teeth. I see. Lindsay, do you ever feel like you put off going to sleep because you don't feel like getting up to brush your teeth and you have to convince yourself to do it?
Sometimes. I don't let it go too far like that because I love my sleep as much as I can get. I try to get. But occasionally I'll have the thought. Like if I'm watching TV and a commercial comes out, like, oh, I should really go brush my teeth and get ready for bed. I'll wait for the next one. you know, that kind of thing.
Yes. I feel like that's like the hardest task for me to convince myself to get up and do. And it's like, if I just do it, then I can just move on with my life. I know. So anyway, but today we are going to answer a great question from Sophia, who we love. We love you, Sophia, and your questions are always amazing. Sophia is asking this question on YouTube.

Okay. Yes. Good.
All right. So another great question. So let's go for it. So let's start with settle in. Yeah. I used this in the beginning about asking you, what do you do to settle in at home? So what does that mean?
So it means to get comfortable, to get relaxed, or potentially to get confident, confident, comfortable with something, getting used to something, adjusting to it. Usually when something is new or when something is getting started, it's like an adjustment period, right?
Yeah.
So it could just be this basic, oh, like, let's settle in at home. Like, let's, you know, get in our pajamas and have some hot cocoa.
Yeah, but it also could be.
Yeah, that does sound great. Just like more something about this adjustment. period. So let's do some examples. So it took me a while to settle in when I moved into my house, but I'm finally pretty comfortable. So here it's that adjustment period. It's about
you know unpacking all your boxes yeah deciding what room things go in i mean one thing for me about settling in is you know it's really nice if i can unpack so this week we're staying i'm staying at my in-laws place because we're doing a renovation on our home and um i was able to kind of unpack a little bit take stuff out of a suitcase and that's a big part for me of settling in is you
