It's a two upload video kinda day ✨ Appreciate you!! Psst.. Watch "How to Create More Time in Your Life" here: ua-cam.com/video/SFrspv91BeE/v-deo.html&ab_channel=muchelleb
You give very good advice in this video. I am slowly working on changing my life. I started on September 13th. I started intermittent fasting, walking, and loosely tracking calories. I've lost 26.6 lbs in just over 3 months! This by itself is life changing. I still have a long way to go, but I feel so much better. It's amazing the difference it has made. Seeing how much success I've had with that goal, I've used the momentum to truly begin to get serious about my writing. I completed NaNoWriMo and wrote 50K words in a month, and I'm now working on finishing that book and another book that I wrote a few years ago. Coming off of the rigorous pace that NaNo is and with Christmas and family time, I'm keeping my December word count goal fairly low. I can always write more if I find the time, but like you said, setting the bar low gives you confidence when you achieve small goals! It's making such a difference. I'm making progress on my book every day little by little, and I won't be surprised if I have a finished draft by January, and I'm on track to be down another 4 lbs or so by January as well :)
@@bgholmq Thank you so much! I appreciate the support. I think we all need to be kinder to ourselves and remember it isn't about perfection, but about progress. I have days where I over eat and days where I don't write, but I have far more days that I DO write and that I DO make healthy choices. In the past my all or nothing attitude sabotaged me. I'm learning it doesn't have to be that way. If we have a bad week, just start again! Every day is a chance for a fresh start. I hope you have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year
The 12 Favorite Problems idea is HUGELY helpful. I've just paused the video and done a deep dive on this idea, and I'm incredibly inspired. This is a perfect addition to my yearly planning for 2022, and incredibly timely. Thank you! I'd love to hear more content on this in the future.
I love this! As someone who was always a big goal setter I have now started focusing on creating habits and ‘small wins’ instead which is making such a difference, and making me so much calmer and happier 😊
Setting the bar lower. Do it all the time. I often want lofty goals but then get discouraged when I don't achieve them. So sometimes I start a smaller goal because I'm not always sure that time is on my side.
Michelle you always have the best, most unexpected, thoughtful and well researched advice. I am so very grateful for finding your channel years ago and I appreciate you so so much!💓 (Also, love your Tara Brach references, she's amazing)
The idea to take about 3 months to figure out a productivity method that will work for you specifically really resonated with me. I’ve been looking up videos to learn about as many methods as humanly possible, even unconventional. A lot of videos focus more on productivity for learning/studying (examples are like flashcards and highlighting) which aren’t super helpful. Idk if I’m just the least motivated human alive but I’d really love to learn about more methods. Is there a book, channel, course on Skillshare or anything you recommend?
How do I get motivated to reading books? I have lists upon lists of books I want to read, stacks of books at home, but either get distracted, unmotivated, too depressed, and wanting to numb my reality by binge watching UA-cam(albeit helpful videos of course). I used to be a bookworm as a child/teen, but now it's hard.
Read every day in bed before you turn off the lights. I've been doing this for 3 years now, haven't missed a single day and it's helped me fly through my TBR (even though I'm a slow reader). Sometimes it's a chapter, sometimes it's more, sometimes it's just 3 sentences. But no matter how late it is and how little you manage to read: read! Like I said, even if it is just a few sentences, you will close your eyes knowing that you did what you set out to do. And that will give you the confidence to keep going. And over time it will become a habit. I now can't go to sleep without opening a book. Also: non-fiction as audiobooks!
Whenever you buy or get a book, does the description make you go OMGOMG YES or okay this is interesting. If your reaction is the latter, don’t buy it. If it’s the former, buy it and make a small goal of ten pages a day. That’s what I did when I was in a reading stump and it helped me get back into books. Try to read books you used to read as a child/teen, it will reignite your love books just as your inner child did. It will be a great experience for you both
It’s okay to go back to basis! Also try to write down on a sticky note why you want to get back into reading. If you have a purpose and lose motivation, read it and remind yourself why it is important for you to read. Good luck!!
@Elizabeth - I have actually been planning to read before bed(it is the best time for me) but sometimes way too sleepy and going to be late lately because of work keeps me from doing this. But I will still give it a try and make myself find the time! I love your suggestions! I think I just set goals too high for me, and think to myself "if I can't get 10 pages in or 2 chapters in tonight, why even bother?" But even a few paragraphs counts! Thanks!!
@Lola - Thanks! That's interesting that you mention reading my favorite kids books! I have been considering doing that for a while, just as a nostalgic thing. I like that idea!!
Great video thank you. Perhaps consider crediting Tara Brach for RAIN. It is her work which she is well known for. I know you usually give credit so guess this was just a slip of the mind. Your channel is wonderful and all your hard work and great advice is deeply appreciated.
wow this video was so informative and inspiring 😍i wanted to start journaling and i wasn't sure on how to write down my feelings in a way that would actually help me long term instead of just word vomit on the page and the RAIN method seems to resonate with me so i am definitely going to try it!
Dear, thank you very much for this video. It's so inspirational and relaxing. I was taking notes whilst watching the video. There are some things like focusing on small wins and getting clear on the best producivity techniques, etc. which I want to apply into my daily routine right from today.
Wonderful video :) great reminders! I am very interested in learning more about the "12 questions" exercise/activity. I have one of Richard Feynman's books when I was in college and was very inspired by his humanness to the scientific world. Can't wait to put my 12 questions together, thank you!
Hi, great video! What got me thinking the most was your tip about what my best productivity techniques are. I feel like it takes up way too much time to keep up with all my planners and lists. I think I should reconsider this! Thanks :)
*To all the dreamers out there, don't ever let the world's negativity disenchant you or your spirit. If you surround yourself with love and right people, ANYTHING is possible.* 🙏🖤
How did you become so motivated and make the best of your life? I really miss the book clubs because I gsined so much information from those books, and I find your books are always very friendly. I aspire to get my life inn orderr just like you. xx
I made to column on paper what do I not value eg health then other ine how can I change so join an exercise program of some sort and pit the date I do this and review date. Very helpful
Have been trying this for the last 5 years, and to be honest nothing changes. Have done small steps but to be honest any steps i make seems to bring me negative people and bad luck. I’m confussed
Hey Muchelle, love the video! I just went to purchase The Life Map planner, and it's coming up as $62 for Standard Shipping. I'm based in Sydney, is there something going wrong here??

I saw the two uploads and thought “quick watch them both in case it was an accident and one disappears again” 🤣
@@courteney-louise Hahaha love that

If you focus to much on loving yourself, you miss out on the things, that make you really happy, like helping others

@@lisatodd2023 Thank you! I'm down 29 lbs as of today!!! :-)
It's crazy how much you can change your life in just a few months if you focus on it

I just finished the book Radical Compassion this morning after watching that video, very impactful read.
It's such a great book - I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Perfect video before the start of 2022. It's definitely going to be my year of improving ME

Thank youu!
I don't often comment, but I have to say: I LOVE THIS CHANNEL! The videos are so great!

I’ve never been this early to a video before. Love your channel, and I always use your videos when reflecting and planning!
I have a list of all of the appointments that I have to attend on my wall it's clear it's right there and I haven't missed an appointment ever since

I would love it if you'd incorporate pauses between the tips and also every one in a while between sentences! ☃️

Oh that makes me so happy!! Definitely a more intentional way to journal.

Love this 😍😍
Two uploads!! 🥳
Great tips ❤️
I love your content but it’d be really appreciated if you can speak a bit slower for non native English speakers! Thanks :)
Me too! 😀
it might help to change the settings on you tube when you watch certain videos. you can speed or slow down any video if it helps 💕
u awlays inspire me
can anyone find her video on setting intentions not goals?
Is it mad that I’m almost 25 and my crutch is when I get stressed, I play solitaire on my phone? 😅😅
absolutely NOT
solitaire is very meditative! plus, you have to pay attention but think too hard! sounds perfect
I like ur video but I feel the video is running too fast before i capture and process the idea..or may b speed has been increased 🤔
i listen in .75x so i can absorb slowly
I love this
yay! first one
Nice video
Buy yourself the fucking lilies is an amazing book!
not you calling me out with the enneagram 4.
“unless you have any enneagram type 4 in you” …uh oh
Hello 🌼🌸
This is really good info, but you're talking so fast I can't follow it
Is it just me or she looks like millie Bobby brown
Can't see it
First. You talk so fast. Slow down.
You can slow down the playback speed 😊
As a person who don't have english as first language, i think that she's not speaking too fast 🤔
Your videos are my FAVORITE. 🤍
thank you so much, really helpful!🤍
I'm so glad!!!
