It will be fun to look back on this at the end of 2024. So, maybe you need to know that we'd happily watch you do 2 minute unedited vlogmas videos, each about the pictures on 1 roll of washi, rather than you half killing yourself with overwork.
Seriously, that's a video style I'd enjoy.
Glad to know there'd be interest for that too 💜 I will say, even though this Vlogmas was a buuuucket load of work, it's been very rewarding 💪
I have retreated into a separate room to feel the feelings this video has conjured.
This was so incredibly sweet & inspiring. Know that you do not owe anything to anyone but yourself. You have brought together an understanding community who all feel lucky to know UA-cam Jess. Anyone watching that would be upset with you taking care of yourself (i.e. delayed video, tiny vlogmas, biweekly vlogmas, fortnightly vlogmas, etc.) can go elsewhere with their demands!
You bring so much light, joy, & personality into this world. Thank you for all that you do. ❤
Before even watching the video, just wanna say that you’re awesome, and you deserve love Jess❤
Thanks Daksha 😄💜 same to you!
Letting others help me is one of the hardest things that I'm learning.
Certainly a process on that one, yeah 😅💜
This video is everything. Thanks for inviting us in Jess and showing me that I'm not alone with the struggles (over doing it, all or nothing, not being happy). I'm gonna do this too.
The non-future Jess piece at the end made me have to feel my feelings. The optimism we feel when starting a new year is amazing and sometimes it's hard to carry it through the entirety of the year. Thank you for reminding me of some very important things I need to carry forward into next year.
If you want to branch out from only wearing black, a small step might be to wear deep jewel tones, like navy blues, rich purples, and dark greens.
Dear Gorgeous Jess, we hope that you have a wonderful 2024, that you see all the personal growth in your life that you want, and that your quest to set boundaries on your life so that you can have fun and relax too - is one that we join you on. Remember that this person sees you and cares about you and I hope you can see yourself with our eyes to know how awesome you are.
Though I have only been a member of this community for a min, I am so grateful that I came across your content. In the last couple of months since finally deciding to just do it, I have tried to watch other bujo content creators, and have been disappointed. They tend to spend more time rambling about the decorations and their tools, and rarely explain how a spread works, how they intend to use it, or why something didn't seem to work. You share your struggles and successes, why you choose a spread and how you intend or hope it will work for you, and that helps me to understand better about trying something. That has been the push I needed to get pen to page and do something rather than just watch a video and feel overwhelmed to even try. Thank Jess. Thank you for your amazing, helpful and inspiring content.
That being said, I do hope you are able to give yourself the grace in this coming year to take care of yourself. To know when you need to take a break because you are feeling burnt, and to actually take the time. You have an amazing community who very much understand if a video is a day or even two late. We will wait, because you are worth waiting for. So take care of you and don't be afraid to take a break, especially when the weight of your plans is leaving you stressed. It will be there after a nice nap, I promise.
Best wishes for a most productive, prosperous, but still restful 2024. May dreams come true for all of us.
Why did the "my hopes for you" part there at the end bring me to tears? There were so many things you were saying to YOURSELF that really resonated with me (more positive self talk, etc). I always love your videos, and this one, while I think was probably very hard for you to put out into the ether, is one of my favorites. Thank you current Jess, and future Jess, I hope you know how much you are valued
I'm not crying, you're crying. That was beautiful 💖
Haha I certainly was crying 😝💜
Aw, Jessica, thanks for sharing yourself so honestly. It’s good that you’re at a place where you can see what you need to do to have better balance and not try to do it all at once and across everything 😊 Thanks for all the inspiration. You are the best. Enjoy your break and here’s to balance in 2024. 😊
Halfway through the video and I so want to give you a hug. I've been wondering how in the world you were keeping up with vlogmas and was hoping you'd started filming in October. Being a creator is much harder work than people realize and you are killing it! Right now, I hope you are resting, relaxing, enjoying the fruits of hard labor and all the joy that comes from accomplishing your goals for the year.
FWIW you are an exceptionally good teacher and, for the past 6 months your videos have been helping me get my thoughts organized and my "hobbies"/work refined so I can be and put my best self forward. I'm so looking forward to the goals course you're working on too.
All that said, I've heard your plight with stress, trying to find work-life balance, and not giving yourself the space to have your feelings. So glad to hear you speak these things to your future self. If you haven't started seeing a professional, please do. You'll be happy you did -- once you find the right person. Be picky, we're a diverse lot. Use the first 2-3 sessions to evaluate the experience. If you don't feel like you want to open up to the person -- move on. Studies show the therapeutic relationship is the #1 factor in successful outcomes. Feel free to reach out if you'd like a few more tips on how to find the right therapist for you.
On the personal side, I had a nervous breakdown in 2016 from years of suppressing my own needs for work. It's like I go on autopilot and the excitement of creating or helping, being there for others, etc. blinded me from my own needs. Definitely don't want to see that happen to you because it's a long long road to recovery. It's taken me 6 years to feel like I can even add structure to my life without it hurting. My word of the year is "essential" so, I'm focusing on the things that open space in my life rather than adding more things to manage.
Love you, Jess. Your authenticity shines through in every video. Wishing you and Vogal a happy, healthy, and balanced 2024! 🌟
Thanks 💜 I'm hoping that my theme/word for 2024 (conscious) is really going to help me lean into paying attention to my needs more than I have 😅 Appreciate the tips re: professional help! Happy new year!
Thank you for sharing this with us. The amount of points you raised that are applicable to my own life right now are a bit uncanny 😅 Sure as heck did not start bawling at your point about feeling your feelings, ehem...
Also thank you for your hard work and the copious amounts of helpful videos this year. They have not only helped me get that much closer to my perfect Bujo-companion but have also led me to take some real actions towards bettering myself. Thank you so much 💜I hope you've had a wonderful time with your family and are spending the rest of the year well.
Sending you lots of love and let's be kinder to ourselves in 2024. 💜
You are getting a HUGE hug in Dallas from me. This video was profound. You are absolutely my favorite persnickety biscuit. I am glad you are in my life.
Thanks Carolyn 💜 very glad to have you as part of our community 😊
CONGRATULATIONS RACHEL! I cried at that! Mom Rachel!! I LOVE IT!!! 🥰
Haha I'll pass on the well wishings! 😄💜
For some reason, this was sooooo emotional for me to watch. I was crying from halfway through the video. I loved this sooooo much. It resonated with me a LOT. Bless you and wish you all the success this coming year.
Love you Jess. Thank you for all your amazing Bujo videos and for always being yourself. You’re awesome.
Thanks Hannah 😊💜
I'm so glad I found your channel in 2023. I hope this doesn't make you uncomfortable in some uniquely strange parasocial way, but you, a bullet journal artist and UA-cam content creator, have brought extra meaning and inspiration to my life. Not only that, but I have more structure and goals in my life than I did before finding my way to your channel, and I can't thank you enough. Keep doing you in 2024. I hope you meet all your goals and soar beyond what you could have dreamed for yourself.
Sending you a big hug, I'm so proud and will be doing a video diary as well. I still want to write some things but I'm going to use a timer instead of just wasting time. I'll do a short letter of encouragement that I can read from time to time during 2024. Happy New Year JasiiCorrin & Everyone Else.
WHY AM I GETTING EMOTIONAL WATCHING THIS?! I am so proud of you ❤❤❤❤
P.S thanks for being my friend
Haha 😂 Thanks Monica, having you as a friend always feels like an achievement 💜 We made friends as adults! 🥳
Popping in to say a big thank you and that I can take the video and see all the hours that is behind this. Your content and openness is immensely helpful. I loved vlogmas and it motivated me to actually do a reset but as much as I loved it if you published a video of 35mins of the view from window I would of happily watched that knowing you got some rest. All the best for 2024
2024 Jess, Thank you for creating the Bujo Basics series, as tiring as it got for you, and the goal setting series was the best thing! Also an amazing community. You (and your community) have made a massive difference in my life in 2023. During the hardest part of my life so far and now I feel like I am finally getting back on track and actually surpassing before the "big sad time". I just embraced feeling my feelings. 😢 Sending a big hug to you, Jess, through the screen! I honestly can't thank you enough, you are doing good things. 💜
Thank you for sharing this vulnerable moment. You verbalized so many of the thoughts that I struggle to say out loud and really crystallized them into something...not tangible, but more real, if that makes sense.
Hearing the phrase, "You're worthy of love..." made me bawl like a baby. It's a phrase/concept I have struggled with for a long time as someone with mental and physical illness.
Watched one of your videos where you explained the Word of the Year, but this video has inspired me to take "You're worthy of love" as a Phrase of the Year. I'll be making a two-page spread that I can use to collect pictures, phrases, other stuff that support this message.
Again, thank you. Much love in the new year!❤
Vocalising into "realness" totally makes sense to me 💜 Love the idea of "You are worthy of love" as a phrase for the year 💪
Love you Jess 💙 You're awesome, you are worthy, you are loved 💙💙💙
Thanks Julia, love you too! 💜 Been great getting you know you better this year 😄 wishing you an awesome 2024 💪
You are such an amazing and creative person. Your videos are a joy to watch, no matter how long or short. I am so teary-eyed right now after watching this video. One for seeing you teary-eyed, which is ok, and I am just a cryer all on my own. I cry at TV commercials, if it has the right message, lol. You should not feel worried if you need to take a bit of a break for yourself. Im sure most of your followers would agree, they would much rather have you taking care of yourself, and perhaps less frequent content, than to have you burn yourself out totally. And that you too are deserving of love as well as self love. Wishing you a brilliant 2024, and wishing you more days of feeling like a "wizard", then days of not feeling it 😉
Thanks 💜😊 I'm also more of a crier by nature, even if I don't let myself do it as much as I could 😅 totally with you on crying over a TV commercial 😝 Heck yeah for more wizard days 💪
My goodness, how privileged are we to experience this vulnerable moment. I love that your content is so real, you share yourself as a whole person and I love that. Very generous content. 😊❤😊❤
Thanks Andrea 💜😊 glad you enjoy the videos
I feel you with the feeling the feelings thing. I also have difficulty with all feelings including happy ones. I sometimes feel robotic. Therapy is helping a little, so lets hope therapy helps me even more in 2024.
Thank you for all the content and work. You channel is the channel I first recommend to anyone interested in bujo because of the how tos and real talk.
To a new year feeling our feelings and working toward our goals with compassion.
I love Love LOVE this! Thank you for sharing so much of yourself! Hugs! I'm cheering you on in the new year! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Always needing to have ‘top of the range’ things is a big one for me. Even when I know the average priced items are just as good.
This hit me in the feels, all the best for a great new year ❤
I feel you on that, I also tend in that "top of the range" direction too 😅💜 Happy new year!
Thank you for sharing this with us Jess. I appreciate you sharing your work with us all, especially this year and I especially appreciate the message in this video. trust and believe, I'm teary-eyed as well. =D Take care and here's to 2024.
Thanks Meg 😊💜
Thank you for sharing this with us! That can feel so vulnerable, but I'm glad to see people appreciating it. I know I do - the letter to future me is something I've been thinking about for the last few days, trying to get my priorities straight, and trying to decide if I even want to read last year's letter (I remember I wrote it during a pretty depressive phase, so I'm probably going to let it just sit in my journal for the foreseeable future).
Take good care of yourself and I hope you're getting a bit of a break from the vlogmas madness!
jess🎺🎺🎺
thank you for posting this video. tomorrow I’m writing my letter to future me and i have big dreams for her but i also should do reflection for current me as she has accomplished more than she could’ve dreamed of.
please take the rest you need, i hope that your rest week in between your cycles actually is a rest week.
I never let myself feel my feelings either. I know that crushing feeling so well as you swallow the emotions. But then in 2019 I was diagnosed with carer burnout. My cup was completely empty and I am still struggling to get back to my former self. Make sure you really do feel your feelings and take care of yourself! I really wish I had! (now I cry at the drop of a hat. I cried watching your video!) happy 2024!
Happy New Year Em 💜 hope we both look after ourselves well in 2024 💪
I definitely had a cry after this video. Thank you, Jess. I want excellent things for you as well in 2024.
I did too 😝 Hope you enjoyed it though, even if it made you teary 💜
What a wonderful thing to do for yourself! I’ve never done this before but I think I will this year. I love that you were insightful but respectful and kind. I have learned so much from you. Thank you for your videos. And, by the way…I just love listening to you talk!
Thanks for sharing these thoughts with all of us. Probably almost everyone needs to hear these things.
On the negative self talk, one of the big pushes in my company (I know corporate initiatives eew.) is the Growth mindset. Take those thoughts esp the ones you want to change and add YET at the end. I'm not a reader...yet. I don't like exercise (who does? crazy people ;-))...yet. Opens your mind up to possibilities.
Ok so I decided to watch just because the title and thumbnail had me rollin' 😂
Haha 😂 I had no idea what to do with it and spent ages thinking about it to the point I was like “this is just silly” 😝
Thanks to you, I've now gotten a little more productive after binge watching your videos. In other news, I now have a vocal stim for saying "f*** it bucket" in an Australian accent 😂. Have a wonderful new year Jashii! ❤
Glad the videos have been helpful 💜 hope your new year is awesome! 💪
THIS is the reason the "internet" is a good "idea." ( there are millions of reasons it is bad idea ) Jess. your words resonate with me! Deep in me. You are a fabulous person. am so happy to "follow" you. Hope you understand how much your work and you mean to me. A stranger on the other side of the world .... but it appears not strangers in our heart. Take care!
Thank you for your courage and feeling your feelings and sharing them with us. ❤much love❤
Feel your feelings is good advice! Your message is beautiful. 😊Hope you have a fantastic 2024!
Thanks Kelly! 💜 wishing you a great 2024 too! 💪
Omg, I Iove you so much Jess!! You are such a sweetheart & this video was absolutely wonderful!!! I can tell that 2024 will be an exceptional year for you!!! Thank you so much for everything you do for us! You are always a highlight of my year!! ❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful! Thanks for letting us take a peek at such a personal look at you. I wonder if your habit of upsizing is a byproduct of your strength as a planner. Because you immerse yourself in work, you probably get very hungry often, so your planner self may be trying to help you out. eat more now so you won't be as hungry later. Speaking of immersing yourself in work, if you are diagnosed with ADHD, hyper-focus is a superpower. Strengths have weaknesses, and weaknesses have strengths. My hope for you in 2024 is that you embrace both and see yourself as valuable as your superfans across the globe see you. Merry and restful Christmas!
Oh, Jess! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! ❤ For real, though … if you think you have a gluten allergy you totes need to give that up. When a small intestine is allergic to gluten, it swells up and food is no longer able to reach the cilia inside which can result in malnutrition. I wasn’t presenting typical symptoms, so my doctor was struggling to figure out why I was so sick until I went critically anemic out of no where. That was when everyone was like, “wait. Is this celiac disease?” and it was! Apparently, I could have died if I hadn’t gone to the doctor when I got extra, extra weak and tired (which I almost didn’t, because I already felt like a burden at that point. I figured it would work itself out, which it would have … I’d be dead, but it would have worked itself out 😂) Talk to your doctor! They can help you. Sending you so much love!!!!!! And emotional freedom!!!!! And hugs! And gluten free vibes!
Haha thanks 💜 I'm hoping it isn't a celiacs thing, and I'm not sure how genetic gluten allergies are, but I at least know my grandfather is allergic 😝 planning to have a doctor's visit earlier in the new year to get some things sorted! 👌
@@JashiiCorrin I’m glad to hear you’re going to look into it. Celiac Disease is an autoimmune disorder and autoimmune disorders do run on families. Almost everyone on my family has hypothyroidism, my dad has a few others and I’m in the lead with Celiac Disease, IBS, Hashimoto syndrome and possibly Lupus. Autoimmune diseases tend to come in clusters and fatigue is a major symptom, so when addressing your burnout, I’d consider physical illness to possibly be a factor in this and something to bring up at the doctors. It might not just be you pushing too hard. It’s also been said (though I’m not sure by “proper doctors”) that suppressing emotions can lead to autoimmune disorders. I wouldn’t normally bring that one up, but since it’s something you mentioned in your video it might be something to consider here. We are whole beings and I think there is value in at least dipping our toes in holistic viewpoints. Ps,
I’m not a doctor, so take everything I just said with a grain of salt. That being said, I lost seven years of my life trying to figure out what was making me sick/managing the burnout from it all, so I do have some knowledge and experience. Sending you love and healing as you move through this Jess! Be gentle with yourself. ♥️
Catching up on my YT subs after the Christmas/NY madness and I did not see this one coming!
I so wish you weren't so damn far away, (literally the other side of the Planet), because now I've watched it I need to give you the biggest of *HUGS *!
Not just for you and the heartfelt things that you've said for yourself here, but for me and just how much of your speech resonated with my own thoughts... The last part to all of the community just finished me off and so now I have misty eyes too!
Now go and make yourself a cuppa and pretend someone off the interwebz you've never met, called Kimberley, made it for you and I'll do the same with one from Jess.
xx
Hello Jess! Thanks for allowing yourself to be so vulnerable in this video. I can totally relate to what you said in your video. I know I'm not the only one who completely enjoys your content. I've continued to follow and watch you because you're relatable and genuine and authentic in your videos. Thank you for that! As you go into 2024, keep self-care a priority ha I'm looking forward to seeing you in 2024.
Wow, I think you hit every one of the 5 signs of perfectionism in this video: overthinking, procrastination, burnout, all or nothing mindset, and fear of judgment. Less of the fear of judgement though. It's so amazing that you posted this for everyone. As a fellow perfectionist, I can sooo relate. I recommend The Perfectionism Project podcast, which has helped me out a lot.
Oh interesting, I'll have to check it out 👀 thanks for the recommendation! 💜
I love this 😊 it's ok to be a person and it's ok to have needs ❤❤ thank you for sharing this. I've only been following you for a few months, but you e been an inspiration to me in more ways than just journaling. Here's to a fantastic 2024!🎉❤
You made me cry. I hope your 2024 is amazing. I appreciate all the effort, care and attention you have put into the content you share on your page. Please take the time you need to fully recover from the stress that all work can cause you. I will be here waiting. And I'm 1000% sure (yes, one thousand) that your community will be here waiting for you when you are ready to come back. Take the time away. Enjoy taking some deep breathes away from the chaos and demands of work and just appreciate being alive. You will come back better than ever.
Take care of yourself, friend, you inspired me a lot this year and your community had helped me a lot. There's probably a lot of feedback and ideas you received in that survey you sent out, but follow your heart and trust your gut. I'll always look forward to watching your content!
Thanks Flora 😊💜
My goodness, that was BEAUTIFUL 💖 Thank you for sharing this with us!
Here's a big virtual hug for both you now and next year you 🤗 I feel in your videos we get to be part of your growth and I want to thank you for that. You can be really proud! Your own development certainly inspires and helps others, you've definitely influenced me (hey! You're an influencer! 😅)
So much you've said here resonates with me and they are things I've been working on myself. Especially the self assigned label thing is something I've been rethinking in these past years - I've always seen myself as unambitious, lazy, unsporty, unphased. But I actually am really ambitious, I work a lot, I actually was always super active and I am a very emotional person, even if I don't like to see myself like that. Lots of these old labels I thought were fitting were because I felt like these traits had to be practiced in a certain way in order for them to be true. For example I always thought I wasn't ambitious, because I never consistently put time into the things I wanted to succeed in. A specific example would be that in uni, I would only study for an exam in the last few days beforehand. I always thought that this meant that I didn't really care about getting good grades, because if I did, I would have been studying consistently throughout the semester in a more organised way. But I did always expect myself to get high grades and felt disappointed in myself if I didn't do as well as I'd hoped. Similarly, if I did get good grades I felt they were undeserved since I didn't put as much effort into it as I felt I should have been. Now I'm starting to realise that only because I do things differently, it doesn't mean that I am any less ambitious. Oh and I'm also thinking I might have ADHD, so planning on getting tested for that is a thing our 2024 selves have in common 😁
I hope the JCC community inspires you, because you inspire us so much 💜 thank you for what you do and thank you future Jess, for what you're about to do!
And take off some time, we can manage if there are some weeks without videos 😊
Brene Brown would be SO excited about the vulnerability you've shown us in this video, Jess. I've recently found your videos and am a wee bit obsessed. I resonated with your videos because you remind me of me, and this video is so scarily similar to me that it's confirmed. Lol. Now I'm worried this is going to come across as sounding a bit weird and stalky. I'm so glad your videos were recommended to me from the you tube gods. Excited to see you grow in 2024 and continue to be inspired by you.
Glad to have you here with us, Kate! 💜 I need to check out Brene Brown; I've heard her name come up a few times now and not read (?) anything by her. Any recommendations? 👀
@@JashiiCorrin “The gifts of imperfection” is a great start
Lol! I love how you based the title of this video off the basic premise of opening it to your future self! That is such an awesome underrated feature of this video!😂
Haha 😂 glad you liked that one 😝 Future me is gonna be so embarrassed, haha
I love this! Thank you for sharing! Cheers to an amazing 2024🎉
You are a blessing to many. Thank you for sharing your wins and struggles with us so we don't feel alone
Thanks 😊 always happy to let people know they aren't alone 💜
I was fine til the end then suddenly there was someone cutting onions.
But I can say your videos have helped me continue with my bullet journal.
Hope the onions are okay! 👀😝 glad you've found the videos useful! 💜
This was so brave. I can’t tell you how inspiring your vulnerability is. Thank you for sharing. ❤
Thanks Leah 💜😊
I actually cried at the end of the video. So much of it resonated with me. ❤️
@@RusKms for what it's worth, I did the same 😝 Sometimes it's good to have a decent cry 💪
Completely relate on some of your current me situation... so I hope you and I will both take the best measures to counterattack and feel better on this and that things. Honestly your channel is already one of the most consistent, regular and helpful within the bujo community, emphasizing the whole ’purpose’ and not only the esthetic (even though I too like it when it’s pretty). I certainly don’t want you to overwork yourself, but I want to say that you were pretty impressive this past month and you got me watching 3h-long live replays, which is so out of my habits ! If anything, from someone who actually does not bullet journal, I hope you will find it somehow meaningful and comforting. ^^
Jess, thank you so much for sharing online! This video was so relatable. It was nice hearing things that I need to also be telling myself! Talking to myself like I would a best friend is a shared goal.
Side note, I have a book recommendation: Soundtracks by Jon Acuff. I read it to start 2023 and plan on reading it again for 2024! Hope you enjoy and thank you again for all of your content! 💜💜 I hope you had a wonderful break with your family and safe travels!!
OMG thank you so muck for sharing all this stuff in general! And I want to add that I feel exactly the same - this year I have a psychiatrist appointmet to see if I have ADHD and/or autism and I relate SO MUCH to the " I don't wan't to say I have it if I don't have a formal paper on it!" 😅😅 wishing you and me and all you other undiagnosed AuDHD's luck for whatever results we get
Thank you very very much for this video, to say all these things for camera, I appreciate it very much. Happy 2024. Greeting from the Netherlands. Petra
Today I will be writing a letter to myself for the very first time. Thank you.
OMG I'm feeling feelings. And I hope you are allowing yourself to too. That was beautiful Jess! And I know it was you to you but it really hit some big points for me too. 💜
Thanks for sharing Jess. It is so easy to feel isolated in our own minds and spaces, even though there are people who love and care for us. Listening to your video while reflecting and writing my letter to myself brought out all the feels and feelings and tears. But in the same breath, it feels so reassuring to be seen and to know that there are others are feeling similar things. I know I feel less lonely (self inflicted, of course) knowing someone else has similar thoughts and that it is important and a good reminder to see ourselves and treat ourselves the same as we would for those people we care about. Anyway, after that ramble, I just wanted to extend my thanks again. I appreciate you and the content you create. Hope you had a fabulous time in Australia with your whānau and I look forward to your sharing this year. All the best with being kind to yourself and allowing more time to rest and feel your feelings. From experience, it's an ongoing challenge, but we deserve to give to ourselves as much as we give to others. It's time to fill that cup 😊
Thank you for being there, I really appreciate you in this format!! You rock, Jess!!!!!!😊
Thank you for this! So many thing I want to say but struggling to put something coherrant together. Tooting your own horn for your accomplishments is challenging but if you don't do it who else will? Celebrate all that you have acheived, if you wait for others it may never happen! I have also been guitly of the black wardrobe only thing - it's so Melbourne right?!? but have been including more colour with small things like cardigans and tunic tops and now I'm searching for colourful pieces to add to my wardrobe. Like with all things you want to acheive starting small can instigate real change in time. Resting for self preservation is a new skill I have learnt this year and joining this community is part of the rest as I can sit and create in my notebook for hours whist in chat on the discord and it fills my cup up...well most of the time it does. It still is related to planning which I am involved with the Aussie community as you know but joining another community for my presonal side has been a joy for me. This video letter to yourself was a great idea and I hope it helps others with similar thoughts covered in this. Have a Happy New Year and may 2024 be amazing...just like you! 🥰
Thanks Denise, you're a gem 💜 It's been a huge joy point for me to see you and the other VC bandits in the server hanging out and getting things done 😄 wishing you a bloody brilliant 2024 💪
Aww! This was lovely!! Tomorrow the 31st (it’s technically the 31 since it’s 12:36 am 😂) l’m going to write my letter to future me. Thanks for sharing yours!
Most welcome! Glad you're going to write a letter for yourself 💜😊
You sound a lot like me in how you approach things. I was diagnosed with ADHD a couple years ago, and knowing plus meds has helped. If you think gluten may be an issue, I'd check for celiac disease too. There is some thought that ADHD and celiac are linked. I'm not a doctor, just go into hyperfocus mode and fall down the research rabbit hole LOL So take all I said with a grain of salt, do your own research, and check with a doctor 😊
♥️♥️♥️♥️ What a video. Amazing. Grateful for you xx
Thanks Lisa 💜😊
Thank you , Jess. I love you too. 💜
Thanks! 😊💜
I know this was more of a future self video but I feel like I need to express how badly I needed to hear this. More specifically on the feeling your feelings. In 2023 I had to admit to myself that my weight issues had nothing to do with the actual food itself. The hardest part is admitting that trauma is still consuming my heart and my mind. I pride myself in being a tough cookie and Wonder Woman but after all these years it turns out that it could actually be a potential weakness. In the book, come a you are, the author explains that in moments of stress our body acts like a lion is chasing us and all other mechanisms shut down until we know it’s safe again. She also explain that to get out of that fight or flight phase we need to complete that emotion fully. Whether it’s crying, screaming or seeking help; everything has to come full circle. I have a lot to work on but I finally see hope. Thank you for being vulnerable. Thank you for sharing. You’re so amazing and I can’t wait to see what 2024 has in store for us.❤
Thanks Mariana 💜 Can totally understand the "tough cookie" identity box. Come as you are sounds like something worth reading, I'll have to check it out! Thanks for being here 🥰
Just wanted you to know that your letter to you had me in tears because so much of what you had to say to yourself also applies to me and myself.
You are wonderful and I am so glad that I get to be a part of your community :)
I'm glad to have you as part of our community 💜 Thanks for being here with us 😄
I wish you lots of chill, rest, and feeling your feelings in 2024! ❤❤
Thanks! 💜 wishing you an EXCELLENT 2024 💪
Bam! Just when I thought you couldn't get more awesome, you go and prove me wrong. I'm in tears watching this. You are incredible. You took a huge jump/risk when you left your teaching job to do "this" full time. You do an incredible job. I love you and reading the other comments, the love permeates through thousands of us. Such a real, honest, down to earth video expressing so much of what you are feeling and inspiring thousands to feel their feelings.
I will speak for myself here and not the others but I bet I'm not alone thinking this.....I don't expect you to be a machine, I don't expect you to be a workaholic [trust me, I've been there and that is not a good place, nor is it sustainable]. We expect you to have a life and live it in balance with us 'cause we loves ya.....
Here's wishing you a happy, healthy, fun, exciting and balanced 2024.
Thanks Fran! 💜 very much one of those instances of when we think “people can’t do it all….except me, I should be able to” 😂 such unnecessary pressure we put on ourselves!
I've been following you since 2018 and I still really enjoy your content. Happy to see you growing and learning to take care of yourself. You are inspiring plus we love the same kind of bujo organization 😁 You are a sweet person even if I don't know you IRL 😊 keep going Jess ! Looking forward to seeing the 2024 Jess version ! ✨️😄😊
Beautiful 💜 Your growth is so inspiring
Thanks Shanice 💜😊
thaks for that video, it's was a beautiful thing to see!! i wish all the good things for you in 2024 because you deserve! thanks for all the help with bujo stuff and thanks for the idea of the video, I'm gonna do this myself and i already know I'm gonna cry a lot haha
I’m very new to your community, but after my 2nd video, I became a channel member. Your warmth and unbelievable generosity draws me to your channel and I’m honored to be able to support you. Your message at the end of this video touched my heart. And your smile is charming!❤
Very glad to have you here with us! 💜 welcome to the team 😄
This is a fun way to reflect & also look ahead. I hope the year is your best ever! 💛
PS - I really related to the thoughts about wearing black & I went through a several-years process of trying to branch out & now rarely wear black shirts anymore because I feel lower energy & less myself in them. I do think there’s something to the idea that I thought they were slimming. Anyhow, no pressure for you to make any change of course - do what feels right to you!
This was a great reflection, hoping for a wonderful New Year!
I’m not crying, much 😭 Oh my goodness, sending such love to you. Thank you for just being you 💜xxxx
Haha thanks Natasha 💜 glad to have you here!
You're doing amazing, sweetie❤

Most welcome 💜😊
Thank you for your Video 💐.
My English is not really good enough. I can't understand everything but I've got tears in my eyes too. Be kind to yourself.
Best wishes Melly ✨
I'm from Germany
Thanks Melly 💜 Hope you're being kind to you too! Greetings from New Zealand 😊
Beautiful video. You are right. If you wouldn’t say it to your best friend, why are you saying it to yourself? Such very good advice! I am taking that advice into the New Year with me. I have a lot of negative self talk although it is a whole lot better than it used to be because of a LOT of therapy!😂 But, there is still room for improvement. I know being vulnerable on the internet cannot be easy. You are awesome and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise! Happy New Year to you!!
This was great. Thank you for posting it.
Most welcome, glad you enjoyed it 💜😊
Oh wow, you are amazing, totally upstand everything you said, I'm in recovery at the moment so am trying the things you've said you are. Happy new year
Sending you lots of love for being so open and vulnerable to your audience.
Thanks Christina 💜🥰
Was already an emotional watch.. the end really got me though 😭 Thanks for this video - needed it 😊
Wow! I think if all of us did this on a quarterly basis, we would not need a psychologist at all! Happy New Year to you, Joshii. You are in my prayers for a successful 2024. Thank you so much for all of your videos, insights and overall fun this year. I hope 2024 is as awesome as you are!
Oh, there you go making me cry, and I haven't even had coffee yet! Happiest of New Years to you and yours, dear Jess. Thank you for all the helpful and thoughtful content you've given us again this year. By this time next year, we in the US will have had another presidential election, and my hope for all of us is that we can headi into 2025 with a sigh of relief and a sense of renewed optimism for the future . ♥️
I'm not crying your crying! I will gladly take fewer posts if it means you're taking care of yourself. Here's tocheers in the hippo mule dear
