This July I decided to get my cardio up and that's been going well! I can now do 3 miles of running without too much issue. Considering doing a 5k event for fun this fall.
You’re doing awesome Kristen! I don’t use the word ‘goal’ because I find it so soul crushing when I don’t achieve things and it sends me into a ‘you suck’ spiral. I call it ‘Things I’d like to do’ instead, then that way It ends up being a ‘cool, I did it’ list without the added pressure of making a timeline.
I’m catching up on your backlog of videos that I’ve missed, and it’s so incredible to see how far you’ve come! Like you mentioned having about 5k subs in this video 🥹 You’re incredible 🫶
You are killing it! Good for you. You've inspired me to maybe thing about actually setting myself some stretches. Though I have come a long way this year in terms of actually DOING rather than just collecting supplies lol, so I am pretty stoked about that and am getting more comfortable trying new things without TOO much self judgement. So yay for that.
That's awesome! I feel like.I do a good amount of amassing materials and daydreaming about projects too so I feel you! It's amazing what a little goal setting can do!
This video is really helpful, my situation is that I'm trying to do too many things but couldn't manage my time in an efficient way😢 Definitely going to reorganize my target, thanks for sharing the "smart" rule and all your experience!
Hi! Found you in the comments on Kelsey Rodriguez video :D Lovely to find your channel! I am an artist and writer so I had set some goals for that at the beginning of the year. I wanted to self-publish my debut novel this year but that didn't happen (yet), had to move those plans to probably early 2024. I did reread one of my writing projects and took notes on it. Finished SG writing project draft 3 and started revising it (yay). I am still active on UA-cam and got back on track recently (also yay). I got back to drawing my characters as well and have a new goal/challenge I am going to do and record somehow (hopefully). I didn't create any new coloring books this year (so far) but maybe will see if I can brainstorm at least a few sketches for one of the ideas for next year. Slowly but surely working towards my creative goals. :) Thank you for the check-in video!
Hiii! Omg a novel is a HUGE project! So cool you found me via Kelsey- I love her videos. Keep up the good work, sounds like you’ve got a clear idea of what you’d like to accomplish ☺️
Love your videos!! Congrats on all you've achieved this year. My goals are to continue getting my art business set up (first on etsy, then eventually squarespace) and to continue to post regular videos on UA-cam.
My goal every year is always just get better, and while I don't know if my drawing skills have gotten better, my sewing and patterning certainly have. So I'd say I've achieved it.
I love my squarespace, too. It's so handy! We have a lot of similar goals. My online presence needs some improvement, though. 😂 I can't get myself to go on camera for UA-cam, but maybe someday. You're doing amazing, don't forget it. Your content gives me so much energy and inspiration!! Thank you for posting. ❤
I love this break down of your goals! And the SMART, its so easy to make lofty unachievable goals for yourself and then get down on yourself for it. Definitely going to try this method when I make my goals next!
Great video! LOVE a good SMART goal. I set a bunch of goals for myself at the beginning of the year. In July I went through and made 6 month notes on them with progress and am overall feeling pretty happy with where I am at - though nowhere near my goal of cycling 1500 miles this year... may need to bring that number down a bit. Definitely feeling ready for 2024 goal setting after getting a better grasp of my time with my day job and all that jazz.
You're doing so well on your goals so far! 👏🏻 I set some goals for myself this year and so this video reminded me to check on my progress. My ultimate goal is to become a full-time artist so this year has been a journey of planting seeds and setting foundations (UA-cam / weekly newsletter / a small online store) while working a full-time job. I enjoy watching your videos; as you share your experiences it opens my mind to what is possible as an artist. It's very inspiring! Thank you.
Love your art. Look forward to the physical rewards on patreon. You’re residency video inspired me to try look for a art get away for myself! Keep the videos coming please 😁
What markets are you planning to be at in October? (If you're okay sharing) I'm out in Denver so I might make the trip to visit you! I've been meaning to go to Utah for some time.
Oh that would be awesome! I’m doing the antelope island bison round up on Oct 29 and the black cat Halloween market at public coffee on the 30th! Two markets in one weekend might be crazy haha but I’m excited!
Nice video, very informative :) Do you also do freelance projects for money? Because I'm working on my financial plan for the future and it would look unlikely to me to achieve that with just a webshop and patreon, even if I grow my following quite a bit (do you maybe have a social platform you have a large amount of followers on?) Sorry for the questions! Was just wondering :)
occasionally I do! I make most of my income from my online shop and in-person markets though, which don't need an online audience! I have about 28k on instagram right now though which helps a lot!
Let me know, did you set any goals for yourself this year? How are you doing?
