First Mike Vibe of the year! Definitely don't hold these videos back. They're cozy. I've been dealing with stress for the last couple of months. Looking into getting a new job in the foreseeable future. Having my second kid this May, so there pretty much won't be time for much personal stuff the next couple of years. 2023 is going to be great. Cheers, Mike.
Thank you dude! Think i'll do a little chill video like this every now and again 😊 Sorry to hear that dude, I hope you're okay? Woah thats amazing news! Congratulations my man 🥳 Best of luck for kid no 2 & getting that new job 🙏
Have a great 2023, Mike! Wish you only success with all your aspirations! Having fun making videos is a gold approach to youtube - other stuff will come naturally😎 I was blessed to find your channel in 2022, thank you for you
Happy new year dude! Thank you so much 😊 I wish the exact same for you. Best of luck with the channel this year and keep up the videos, you're honestly so so good 👏 Have a wonderful day my man 😊
Found your channel due to needing to watch 1000 videos so I would feel less guilty about my irresponsible steam deck purchase … Ended up staying due to your funny, beautiful editing and heartwarming videos! Love the rambling! Can’t wait to see what you get up to for the rest of the year 😊 (my 2023 goal of this year will be….try and not worry too much at time passing by and enjoy the now)
Happy new year! Loved the video. If you haven't already (but I'm sure you possibly have) you should look into Notion. It has helped me so much with goal tracking, journaling, logging daily gratitude etc. And if you haven't read the book 'Atomic Habits' (again, you've probably heard of it!) it made a MASSIVE difference for me. Atomic meaning 'the smallest possible unit of mass' -- forming new habits in the smallest way and building upon it iteratively. For example instead of immediately trying to jog everyday, spend a week just putting your jogging shoes on at a specific time. Or instead of saying 'I need to clean my house every Tuesday, do something like 'I'm going to clean/move 1 item every time I leave a room'
Happy new year man! Thanks so much for the kind comments 😄 Really appreciate it, so glad you’re enjoying the videos. Ah man! No joke I did both these things in the last six months and it was an absolute GAME CHANGER. Honestly atomic habits is a huge reason as to why I started this UA-cam channel. Made organising my time and goals sooo much clearer. Thank you for the awesome advice 🙏🏼 Also just checked your channel….you’re an INCREDIBLE musician man! Please post some more videos 😄
Good vid and HNY! I will try the gratitude practice 👍 Forget the Tesla. Cars don’t make you happy. I’ve had many including an Aston/Porsche/M5 etc…. They just become a burden on your mind, time and money. The best car to have is one that you don’t care where you park it and whether someone will ding the door…. True freedom 😂
Thank you dude! Happy new year 🥳 You are SO right. Thats deffo another big reason I wouldn't buy an expensive car, too much pressure. Maybe if they drop to be super affordable I'll think about it, but not for the meantime 😂
What a sweet video Mike, Happy New Year to you as well. Gratitude is on my list this year. I grabbed a Gratitude Tree and I've been adding a new leaf daily 😁. I'm ready let's go!
Hahahaha that’s a bummer 😂 Stick with it, you’ll be able to do the splits in no time. Thank you! It was actually a Christmas gift from a good friend. I’ve been using an app for gratitude before that, but writing it in a journal feels so much more personal, couldn’t recommend enough! Here’s the link! - amzn.to/3WMTy0H It’s very expensive for what it is, but the quality is so great, definitely makes you want to pick it up everyday!
Happy new year! Yeah dude, 100% agree with you about goals. Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em amiright? Before the pandemic I had goals revolving around trying to create a positive community of people interested in movement and parkour to train together. It was actually going really well until the Hong Kong gov outlawed any gatherings of more than two people. So now that those laws are finally relaxing, that's something I'd like to get back to once again. I haven't really had a proper goal for years due to the uncertainty of the pandemic and the restrictions the government kept tightening, then relaxing, then tightening again over and over without ever laying out a roadmap to returning to normality. Hopefully this current change is here to stay and we don't get the rug pulled out from under us yet again. 🤞 Oh also in December I finally was able to get my Deck 🥳. It's just as awesome as I was hoping. I'm not much of a shooter player, but I tried out Risk of Rain 2 with some friends (which is yet another recommendation haha). The deck can add gyro aiming to it and it works SO well.
Oh also, in regards to making more of a community, it seems like Discord is frequently used for that. I admit I don't know much about it other than using it for voice chat, but if you make a Discord server I'd join it.
Happy new year my man! Ah yeah man I saw china's been pretty crazy on restrictions since covid right? But deeeeffo work on getting people together again around parkour, that sounds like a beautiful thing to be spending your time doing. Ehyy thats amazing man! So glad you're enjoying it 👏 Yesss great shout about a discord! I've had a couple people ask about that actually. Im not sure how to set one up/use it properly but I will absolutely figure it out and start one soon as it would be super cool to have a place to properly talk to everyone outside of the youtube comments haha. Thanks again man!
Happy new year Mike! Good video, chill and comfy as always. This year I'd like to improve at work (maybe find another project or a slightly better job), exercise more often and spend more time doing what I like without feelin' remorse.
Happy new year, Mike! Glad to see you again. Hope your holiday has been great! Don’t stop being so wholesome and amazing, Mike. 😊 My goal for this year is probably moving in with my boyfriend in Spain ! We have been in a long distance relationship for 2 years + and we are really looking forward to moving in together soon! Hope it will finally happen this year 😊 And i really really hope you keep creating videos for this channel throughout the year 2023. And i really wish to catch your next stream!
Happy new year Rina! 🥳 Thank you for always being so kind, really means a lot 🙏 Thats a beautiful goal mate, I wish you all the best luck getting to Spain smoothly. Have a great day!
One of my goals for 2023 is definitely "Have fun making videos", although first there's that little hurdle of making my first video. Happy new year Mike!
You can do it! Honestly just make a video about literally anything and get something out there. All the rest can come later. You won’t regret it 😊 Happy new year dude! 🥳
Happy new year! Have loved your content so far and can’t wait to see where this channel goes this year! My goals are mostly running related. Running my first Marathon in April which I’m training for right now!
Happy new year mate! Thank you so much 😄 Ehhhhy thats amazing mate! HUGE goal there. Some good friends are doing the same this summer so I know a little of what training is required and it's intense! Best of luck with that dude, certain you'll smash it 👊
I've rented a Tesla a couple times and they're really fun.. Wish Elon wasn't such a nut case, I wouldn't feel too great about buying something that expensive from him..
Happy New Year Mike 😊 Nice goals and nice to see you! I check often if you post new video! I have quite a few things going on this year + goals! We are buying a house and going to move in really soon! 🎉 Hope to pass my driving license in a few months! Get into digital drawing! And I am really interested on your editing course! (I secretly dream of doing a UA-cam channel but have absolutely 0 editing knowledge/skill 😅 I look forward to seeing your next video! Take care 😊
Happy new year Marie! Nice to see you too! Ahh that’s so lovely that you check in regularly, thank you 🙏🏼 Ahh mate they are some amazing goals! Best of luck with the move and the driving test. And deeeeffo get into digital drawing, I was playing around with procreate while doing the text overlays for this video and it was super fun doodling and playing with all the brushes and bits. Oh amazing! I’ll start planning out some ideas for a class in that case 😄 Definitely get started now though! I really don’t think you need to be particularly good at editing to make good videos. What would you make a channel about??
@@mike.barnes Aww that's so cool that you've used procreate for this video! I've actually got an ipad just to draw on procreate! Excting times!! That would be amazing if you make an editing course video! For the youtube channel I'd love to do video game content! I've also have a Steam Deck so still in the process on thinking about what kind of videos I could make but I have my little idea! Still a little dream project... Take care :)
Happy New year! Yeah these goals seem like cool ideas. Consistency is definitely more important than trying to rush stuff out and stressing over it. Looking forward to more stuff from you in the future.
Hey man! Thanks for checking in, I really appreciate it 😊 I’m totally the same, it’s really hard to fight the desire to see a video do well, especially if you put a lot of time and effort into it. I try and remember that a good video, even if the quality is insane, isn’t always one that will get views. Saying that, your new video is brilliant dude. Watched it earlier and was going to leave a comment tonight. Absolutely smashed it! 👊🏼
@@mike.barnes you plan your comments? 😂😂 if I don’t comment immediately, I will forget to never do it. At any rate. Thank you very much. And I also really appreciate the simplicity and cinematography of your videos. It’s getting me thinking that I want to try a video that’s less edited with a greater focus on camera work. And yeah, totally. Having been doing organic social media on a number of channels over the past few years I’m learning that we can have a lot of good theories about what will perform but ultimately it’s up to the algorithm gods and videos that should do well don’t, and videos that really should not do well often do
clicked expecting a Deck video. Stayed for the heartfelt message
COOL New Video!
My goal is it get those heelies I never had as a kid
OMG now I want them too
Hahahahahaha the heelies video is coming I promise 🤣
I really love the chill and honest nature of this video. I wanna start my own channel and this video gave me some pointers. Thank you.
We have the same toaster, also I like your videos
Toaster kings 🍞👑
Your channel’s a gem! So glad I found it! Happy new year!
Aw thank you so much 😄 Glad you're here too!

@@mike.barnes I hope you will :)
Yeah, I've been quite lucky compared to others, so it'll be fine, thanks :)
Thank you! Have a good one

Appreciate this space of YT. I’ll watch whatever you post, Mike!
Thank you my man 😄
your a great guy mike, I just turned 23 and your content honestly helps me feel less stressed when it comes to adulting.
Your videos are so homely, I love the relaxed atmosphere you have and I can't wait to see whatever it is you'll do this year!:))

Enjoy the channel man!! 😀 I want to also start taking UA-cam a bit more seriously. How did you start? And what advice have you got for me?
my goal this year is to do a 30 day yoga challenge. day 6 and I don't think I like yoga lmao.
p.s sick gratitude journal my guy, can you share a link to where ya got it?
Hahahaha that’s a bummer 😂 Stick with it, you’ll be able to do the splits in no time.

Can we have win the lottery or is that classed a big goal so more in the 10 year pipe line 🙂 Happy new year though
Hahahaha I’m hoping for a lottery win too. Maybe then I can get that Tesla 😂
Happy new year man 🙏🏼
I've rented a Tesla a couple times and they're really fun.. Wish Elon wasn't such a nut case, I wouldn't feel too great about buying something that expensive from him..
Sweet man! Ahh totally, I didn't mind him for awhile, but some of the things he's come out with recently have been so wild 😂
Happy New Year Mike 😊
Nice goals and nice to see you! I check often if you post new video!
I have quite a few things going on this year + goals!
We are buying a house and going to move in really soon! 🎉
Hope to pass my driving license in a few months!
Get into digital drawing!
