So 2019 is upon us, it is tomorrow.
and I
think that a lot of you guys probably feel the same
as me where New Year's resolutions are kinda stupid.
But honestly I feel like if we have New Year's
resolutions, that's the one thing that keeps us accountable
and prevents us from being the lazy pieces of doodoo.
that we are. Hey guys. In today's video, I'm gonna share with you
my New Year's resolutions
and also share with you tips on how to make resolutions
of your own. I just want to preface this video by
apologizing for the lighting. I am currently in Germany
at my boyfriend's apartment, and if you guys
have been with me since the beginning of my journey on YouTube,
then you know how much I hate it here because there's
like no sunlight whatsover and today is not an exception.
*coughs*
Also, I'm sick.
So that's another thing.
So nothing's gonna cooperate today, great.
Ok, so onto my New Year's resolutions. I
actually do not have a notebook with me. I forgot to
pack one from home and ended up
having to ask my boyfriend for a notepad
and pen. But honestly I feel like having
a notebook that keeps track of your resolutions
and keeps you on track with
crossing off your goals and also to
remind you of what your goals are is really important. So actually
after New Year's, I will be shopping for a notebook because I really need
one. But anyways, ok. The first thing
that you wanna come up with is one word that
will be your whole theme for the new year.
Mine is going to be Health, so that's what I wrote at the top of
my resolutions list. I'm going to share with
you what my resolutions are right now.
Sleep before 2 am, wake before 10 am, gain weight
(preferably around 10 pounds), connect
with the right people (on social media), keep
going, enjoy the process, do more of what I
love and feels right to me, seize my travels,
try different things, stop working
after 9 pm, pay attention to what I buy,
do more inspirational videos,
focus on one thing at a time,
be more reflective, I wanna at least journal
for 182 days, so half a year,
and keep my hands off my face
(I am a chronic pimple picker, so that's gonna be
really hard for me), have more positive
thinking, and spend more time away from social media.
I'm just gonna add a little bit to the end of that. So,
every time I've spent time away from social media,
I actually a lot less stressed, but at the same time
I felt a little bit more stressed
because I felt like I wasn't keeping up with my content,
I was like disappointing people or more like
having them unfollow me or unsubscribe because
they obviously don't know like what I've been up to, which
I always let everybody know to follow me on Instagram
to keep up with my schedule
and everything. I always update you guys there. So if you
haven't already, please follow me on Instagram.
I've taken a lot of social media breaks this year
and it actually helped me to reflect on
what I'm doing with my life and how I want
my relationships with people to be like
and it's actually been really nice. So, for
2019, I really want to
take more breaks from social media and/or
just don't stress about when I don't show
up for a couple days. I actually skipped
like 6 days last week because
I was too busy playing hostess to my boyfriend who visited
me back at home. And now that I'm trying to get settled
here in Germany--of cours we've been really sick, but--I just
really want to not stress about that. Now, if you wanna get really
into it, you can copy your
resolutions and do it again
on another piece of paper or in a notebook and
put columns there. You can organize
your resolutions how ever you want to.
For instance, my resolutions, they don't all
flow together. So like, 'sleep before 2 am,'
'wake before 10,' those can go with
'stop working after 9 pm.' Do you know what I'm saying? So,
you can do it like that. But honestly, I just--I
can always remind myself about things. I don't know.
I just work like that. But if you need more
organization, you can totally do that. I guess what would be nice is if you
didn't want to use a notebook, you can always do it on
a notepad like this or pieces (sheets*) of paper
and tack them up or tape them up onto your wall.
So wherever you sit like at your desk, for instance,
in your bedroom, you can always have your resolutions right
in front of you. Ok, so here are my tips on how to
create your own resolutions. There are 3 important things
that you need to keep in mind. First of all, this is not part of that.
But come up with that one word
that will be your theme for 2019.
Again, mine is Health. That includes
physical and mental health. Mostly
mental health because my physical health is pretty good.
I do work out 3x a week and I am very
mindful of what I eat, so I'm ok with that. But it's
more mental health. Try to be specific as possible
and that will help keep your mind
on track of what you want your resolutions to be about.
Here are the 3 tips on creating your resolutions. #1: Try to make them attainable.
What that means is whatever resolutions
or goals that you have for yourself, make
sure that you are (going to be) able to meet them. Don't go too
crazy and tell yourself you're going to lose like
200 pounds or you're going to gain, I don't know,
20 pounds and I don't know, you can do it
obviously, but it's just a lot of mental strain.
So I wouldn't say to do that like,
I don't know, for the whole year. Maybe to just chop
it down and make it realistic
for your lifestyle. The 2nd and 3rd tips kinda
go together, but you can make your goals
continuous and/or time-sensitive (I meant -specific :D).
So, #2 if you want to make your goals continuous,
then they* obviously need to
be something you can do for the entire
year, they'll* just go on. So for instance,
on my list, I have more positive
thinking. So I don't want that to be a time-
sensitive thing where I'm only thinking positively for like a month.
I want that to be every single day, throughout the whole year.
And then #3 if you want your goals to be
time-sensitive, then maybe if you wanna gain weight
or lose weight, you can put, "I want to
lose weight within 3 months." So try to be very time-specific with that because if you just put
down "I want to gain 10 pounds" like I did
on my thing, then maybe it'll be a lot less
attainable or a lot less realistic for me if
I don't give to myself a time-table. But at the same time,
if you're not that hardcore with your weight gain
or your weight loss, then don't really
stress about it.
At the end of the year, if I gained 10 pounds,
then I gained it. If I didn't, I didn't. Like, I'm
not too crazy with that. But if you're very serious about
your goal like that, then definitely give to yourself
a time-table.
My lips are getting stuck together because of this Kat
Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Lovesick. Ok guys,
that's it for my video. I wanna wish you guys a
Happy New Year and please be safe
with whatever you choose to do. This year has been a
wonderful, rocky, arduous
journey for me. I only hope that 2019
will kinda be the same, I guess.
Like, wouldn't life be nice if it was nice
all the time. But life is not like that. And I want you
guys to stay inspired and
think positively. Know that things will
get better and you really do deserve to
see that. I love you guys so much. Thank you for all the support
in the last
whatever how long you've been here with me.
I truly appreciate every single one of you.
