I've been on a slump since college started and honestly, this is a great wake up call. I just realized now that ive been doing whatever i want and disregarding what i really need. Although setting a system can be challenging at first try, there's always another time or day to do it. We just have to do it for ourselves. Thank you for this video!
HUGE respect to you, Via! I'm a 29 years old but here I am, listening carefully to a younger girl who speaks so clearly and smart about building yourself up to be a better version of yourself. Thanks!!
For those of us who have things like ADHD and such where systems don't really work (im unmedicated) find that making a "game" out of things really helps me lock in so I can do the things that I need to do. A lot of times it's hard not having any "self discipline" because you physical can't bring yourself to do things (executive dysfunction) so making it something you enjoy just a little bit more can help a lot! Like Via said, have faith in yourself, you got this!
One thing that helped me make a routine was making a to do list on my notes app of every mourning and night routine step. Checking off each step helped me want to keep going. By the 2-3 week it was so natural to me and now my days feel off when I don’t do my routines. One of the best things I’ve done for myself
This really relates to me as a student. Studying is scary and we aren't always taught how to do it. So I'd spend time researching and watching videos on how to study. But the thing is, that's a study routine that works for *them* not me. They'd suggest something and I complain saying "that doesn't work for me." Studying is another system that you have to learn for *yourself*, it's extremely personal and no study video is going to solve everything. But there's always a reason why the simplest of things are the most effective, not the most unheard of one
i have been so sick for the past 2 month , constantly getting sick and procrastinating my study and goals , so i just woke up today and decided to live again , i did my stretches while listening to ur video and it is really helpful , i pray for a long productive day . thank u girlie ❤
I have a great example of this. My whole life I wanted to sew my own clothes but I would always tell myself it’s too difficult (and expensive) a few months later I could afford a sewing machine and I’m now altering my own clothes. My next step is to actually make clothes from scratch.
Via I've been watching your videos for over a year and I just want to say that you really bring a smile to my face. You made me truly love myself, to love my beauty, to love my flaws.. I truly appreciate all your videos and I truly love you
"if I was running every single day, how can I not get closer to the finish line?" thank you for the encouraging words, Via. I relate to you in many ways as someone who has a lot of anxiety. I am very insecure and am always worried about everything. I'm having a hard time following schedule and routine but the truth of the matter is you can't get anywhere if you don't move. Sometimes you gotta be strict and harsh with yourself in order to get moving. Thank you for the words and for always being open about yourself and the struggles you face/faced and how you overcome things.
yes!!! realized recently that building a system is soo important and necessary for growth. patience is ESSENTIAL esp for people like us who want to see the results right away. being in the process can be so painfully slow sometimes and you just need to have faith in yourself every day to keep going and you will eventually finally see the results youve been working for!!
Hi Via! I'm one of those silent watchers, but your video came at a good time. Not to go into too much detail, but I'm in a dilemma of going back to school but I'm not sure if I should study what my family wants me to study (accounting) or if I should study the thing I want (art therapy). I was speaking to my uncle last night and he also mentioned something very similar in your video. He told me to just do it! It's such a coincidence that after this conversation last night, I saw your video that basically said similar things: that I need to stop thinking about the "what if's" (I'm an overthinker) and just do it, but also reforge my discipline in my personal life (getting up early, working out, etc.) so that I already have this discipline to draw on when I'm pursuing my career goals. Thank you for releasing this video as it's something I needed to hear. I'm know I'm guilty for being inactive and procrastinating when it comes to things I need to do, and I understand it's not serving me well if I have goals that I want to accomplish. I used to have so much discipline, but I've lost it over the years after being extremely burnt out during my school days. I know the road ahead will be long and hard, but I hope it'll be worth it in the end.
I've watched this vid at least 3 times, but it's insane how u might not even realize how many people YOU are helping out there, an audience you're reaching out to, making an impact on them. Cause as a 16 yr old trying to build a system, breaking down my goals, setting daily targets and goals each day, creating working & building my craft towards this flowery path while sitting on my only bed & half-built house caregiving my mum who's suffering from cancer. Just cause life's difficult & i don't have some of the privilege to chase my dreams doesn't mean i can't do it. For some of us, it is the only driving force to push through each hellish day. luv your videos! thank u so much for making & posting this vid right when i needed it!💜💗
Via I appreciate your advice so much it’s honestly so helpful in remembering that life is harsh but we should not let ourselves be that harsh to our own self since it takes time and effort in finding the best version of ourselves.
There's something special about everything you say .. I've heard a lot talk about goals and routines but it never gets to me until you say it , I hope you nothing but happiness you pure soul 💓💓
via, you're truly amazing. i can't even explain in words how much you make me feel good. you're probably the only youtuber that has had this influence on me and im so thankful.
*hey via, i know you might not see this but i just wanna say that your vlogs and videos are literally my favourite. as an introvert, seeing you; another introvert too step out of your comfort zone, trying new things and having experiences, opening up to and meeting people, and accomplishing your goals and dreams..it inspires me. you give me a lot of hope as a person and it's also so cool that i can relate to how you are. all i can say is that i wish the bestest for you in life and i cannot wait to see more relatable and amazing content from you. all the love, a random girlie from India!* ✨♥️
This video made me feel better. I was going to give SAT in December but i got no seats and if i dont give exam this year i will be in a gap year and it was stressing me out thinking if i should just give up or keep going but this video made me change my mind. Thank you Via💓!!!!!!!!
I was just crying about how disappointed I was in myself because I gave up on everything that I worked so hard for. I was discouraged because I wasn't patient enough to wait for the results. But you helped me by making me want to try again and get back to it. And try one small step at a time and stay consistent. Thank you so much. ❤
A well-defined system helps you outline your goals and the steps needed to achieve them. This roadmap can prevent aimlessness and keep you focused on what truly matters.
watching a new journal entry from you and you saying only time can tell... it really hit me. cuz earlier this year, I was in a really bad headspace where I feel like there's just no way for me to heal and make myself better cuz it's been three years yet I'm still stuck in the never-ending cycle of self-pity, self-sabotage and self-blaming. I also watched a journal entry of you back in January which was "why you need to chase your dreams", and I remember watching that and bawling my eyes out cuz your words opened my mind to a new perspective. but despite that, I knew that my stubborn brain would still NOT take action despite being moved by you so the cycle went on again... months flew by and here I am, writing this unnecessarily long rant but with only one point to say- time really did heal me when I began to change my mindset bit by bit and tweaked some hours and activities in my daily routine. compared to how pathetic I felt at the beginning of this year to the present me, I can say that if you just keep pushing and sticking to the thought patterns + habits you built overtime to make yourself better, you WILL be better no matter how slow or long it takes... now that I'm here, I'd also like to extend my gratitude to you, Via. you've been my source of comfort whenever life is taking too much of my energy and I just want to breathe again. you may not read this but your existence brings me peace and happiness so thank you for sharing your life and wisdom to the world. I love you sm!!! 🥹🤍🥹🤍
when i first found your channel, i was like, "oh, cute, it looks aesthetic, im gonna watch it," and i subscribed. im not sure how long it has been since that, but every single video of yours that i've watched is so inspiring to me. i love how you always have good advice and some really helpful ones at that. you've become kinda like the older sister to me that i've never had growing up as the oldest child. you're my comfort person, so thank you for that
I was just crying about school starting again and I have this one gole that I reached last year and now I need to reach it again but it is harder of course. I thought I can’t do it but you are right. If I did it last year I can do it again. And this time I ,,tripped,, on my ,,run,, but your words reminded me of that I am not always going to run in a straight line and there are some hard parts but I am stronger then them. Thank you via ❤
i truly, truly thankful to you 'cause i'm 18 years old (almost 19) and i'm so scared of start what i really want to do or even to try it and see if it is really what i love and want to do, i feel so lost 'cause i don't know how start, like i truly don't know how even start so i'm just getting worried and worried 'cause i feel my life is pasing through my eyes and i've don't do anything that i really want to do and i'm just get more depressed beacuse of that, your words really inspires me and i will try to found a way to do what i want to, 'cause i've really always knew that the path it's really hard and i don't matter 'cause if i feel alive with what i'm doin, then i'll do it even if it's so hard and i wanna give up, but even knowing that to me it's just so difficult to start 'cause i don't even know where or how i have to start, but even with that i really want to try it 'cause i don't wanna die before even start to running to what i want to do and who i want to be. thank u so much for your advice and really i appreciate your content, keep goin in bein the best version of you, i'll try it as well ❤️🩹💜 (also i'm so sorry and correct me if i make a mistake 'cause i'm from spain and i'm learned english on my own so i'll truly appreciate if you correct me respectfully
i had to drop out of college for a myriad of reasons and have felt down on myself ever since. but i really like this perspective, especially ab how your goals can and do shift and that twist and turns can happen while you're running towards goals. life is hard but doing a little bit every day is really the only way i can tackle it rn. great advice as always
perfect timing !! I failed my math test, I was so sure that I was going to pass because it's my most hated subject at school but I didn't satisfy my expectations. Tbh I lost all my motivation, since Thursday I struggle to get into my rhyme of studying. Most of the time I don't take those tests personally but this time it's different
this video is hitting me hard. i am at a very confusing point of my life where i am currently in a field i lost all passion for in college, which is architecture. this field conflicts with who i am as a person. and yet, i am 3 years in and the more pressure i get the lazier and less motivated i get. but in the last few months some things have changed about myself. i realized that i have other interests and passions. and since then, i have been doing much better in college than i have ever been, simply for the motive of getting done with college because this is the only way i can live the life i want. i think i just owe it to myself to work towards my goal, even if i have 2 years left of studying and effort. and therefore i have a system that will get me to my long term life goal. thank you
What I really like about your content is that you’re so relatable 🥹 every time you share your experiences, even the hard ones (which takes a lot of courage) makes me want to give you a hug and comfort you. I really appreciate and enjoy watching your videos! And contents like these of yours really help because you’re being honest and realistic instead of just giving us motivations, advices on what to do and show an ideal routine (like what other vloggers do) thank you so much for this Via!! Hope you’re doing well 🌻
While all of this CAN be true for many people, let's never forget that there are things outside of our control that might hinder us to succeed. And we can never blame ourselves for that because that destroys our mental health and selfworth. Never forget that there are things like mental health struggles, poverty, inequality, war, nepotism, and systemic discrimination like racism, sexism and ableism that actively try to stop many people from reaching their goals. And sometimes to reach your goals you also simply need to be lucky: the right opportunity needs to pass at the right moment when you happen to be ready. That doesn't happen for everybody. That does not mean to stop trying, but always consider these things before you blame yourself for not succeeding because you deserve better. You are worth the world even when you don't succeed
via i absolutely love these types of videos from you, you always have something to say that really resonates and clicks with me,, thank you so much for sharing your experiences and being able to relate to others like this,, you really do have an impact, and i’m always so proud of to your growth and grateful to share it with you, so thank you ♡
saved this video for a day i could finally sit down and really listen and take this video in because i knew it would such a valuable video for me. thank you so much for this video via. it has genuinely changed my perspective especially since this is what i have been struggling with so much lately ❤❤❤
Thank you so much Via for posting this. Recently I've been figuring out how to outperform my old self in order to achieve a bigger goal and I've kind of been doing this same thing which you termed as 'system'. Now your opinions gave me some really valuable insights on how I can make my system much more efficient.
I think I'll re-watch this video for the rest of my life. As an insecure teen this really spoke to me, thank you :) Depression and unbelief has had me down for a long time but I think I'm finally ready to just keep running and see where I go or at least atempt to.
I loved this. I would like to add that building a routine that is customized to your own needs and wants is crucial. Say, you want to work out and you haven't done it in a few years, but you see someone on social media work out five times a week, feeling great. Working out five times a week might be a bit much in the beginning, and you might lose motivation already after a week of attempting working out five times a week. But say you start working out one day a week to test it out and then you spend some time figuring out what kind of workout you would like to do, and then after a while you add another day, and later on you find a workout you really enjoy so you add another workout day. Point is, be patient and also listen to your body (and mind). That's when you'll see results, I think, at least in the long run.
you're so dawn right, girl! I just started my law college and things have been so hard, not only the college subject it self but actually my feelings, got frustrated every day for not studying such as i should and that shit makes me very depressed. but little steps are important and i'll try to remember it every day, and build my system. Thanks Via, and also kisses from my country, brazil🇧🇷 (you're internacional influent now lol)
I LOOOVE that you did this specific video, it's just what I needed and that you're the one doing it really means a lot to me ❤❤❤, I think I'll rewatch this when I'm feeling low on energy to work on myself. All the love ❤️
this helped me when it first came out, but here on new year's eve, a few hours from 2025 in my area, i'm really relistening to it and internalizing it. i have been in a lil bit of a stasis for weightloss and i'm only about 30% done. this is just what i needed and i'm glad it's here for me to look back on during this time. between this and "honor the path you chose" from Dr Mike, it's an awesome combo
Thank you so much for this! I hope to hear your thoughts about people like me who worry about being too confident and happy in a moment and overthink something bad will happen afterwards.
Thank you so much Via, if I’m in a slump it’s a slump of watching your motivational content 24/7. JK but I really and truly want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. ♥️ I’m ready to go out there and become the best version of myself I can be!
Hi via! I just wanted to say smth . This video was exactly what i needed rn...i have a hugee dream of going outside my country for my higher studies and it seems so far away? But what u said very much true, the more u work towards something youre more likely to achieve that! Once again thank you and love you always❤
I’ve been watching your UA-cam videos for the past week, and they’re really great! You’re doing a fantastic job as a content creator. How long have you been on UA-cam, and what challenges have you faced with your channel?
I looooove tuning in whenever u upload via n I feel like I reaaaally needed this journal entry. im literally watching this rn as motivation just before my study session & two weeks of second year biomed is absolutely killing meee but im getting into my routine and figuring out what I need to do to get what I want out of this year. ur perspective is so refreshing and I'll really try to take it into consideration. taking small important steps & being kinder to myself when it goes wrong. we WILL get thru this! thank you sm for thisss👩🏽🍳😭😭💗
I’m not even in like high school yet but I know I want to go to a good school, and get a full scholarship to Yale and become and architect this genuinely helped me
thank you so much i needed to hear this words so baaaad you caught me trying to just give up and protect myself from heartbreak but NO this won’t happen i’ll get up again and try again cause literally why not?? if my heart broke its okay it’ll heal either way its not breaking for the first time anyway? i have experiences so what’s there to be scared of??
just wanted to say i love u so much via (novia)❤..i really love your style and u are the one i can relate a lot in youtube ..and this video is something i needed to hear at this moment so thank u😊
oh i havent expected to see a video posted 4 mins ago when i decided to check your channel lol 😂😂 excited to see what this journal entry will be like!!(i know already its gonna be good)💞💞
Like I have heard the same advices from so many people and I'm not even kidding but they literally had no affect on me and here you are how just feels like a big sister giving us advice, I truly feel so motivated after watching this vedio. This is the video that I will remember for life , thank you gurl for all your efforts in every single video I love them all and I love u gurl 🫂💫
I thought this was Rowena, but it was you! ^_^ I'll add this to my Lady Lessons playlist. I like your take on, "Setting systems, not goals." It's so interesting from other people's perspective and my own. Helps me have a well rounded understanding of the topic. Thank ya ❤
''if you're constantly running, how can you not get closer?'' QUEENN
that so fucking deeppp !!! i wishh i had this much motivation

but in the last few months some things have changed about myself. i realized that i have other interests and passions. and since then, i have been doing much better in college than i have ever been, simply for the motive of getting done with college because this is the only way i can live the life i want.
i think i just owe it to myself to work towards my goal, even if i have 2 years left of studying and effort. and therefore i have a system that will get me to my long term life goal. thank you
maybe this is what I needed- " If you are constantly running, how can you not get closer to the finish line."
girl i love you so much, youre truly my motivation not to give up and become whoever i want to be
The only person who is motivating me to be alive is u . I love u so much 😢❤
What I really like about your content is that you’re so relatable 🥹 every time you share your experiences, even the hard ones (which takes a lot of courage) makes me want to give you a hug and comfort you. I really appreciate and enjoy watching your videos! And contents like these of yours really help because you’re being honest and realistic instead of just giving us motivations, advices on what to do and show an ideal routine (like what other vloggers do) thank you so much for this Via!! Hope you’re doing well 🌻
While all of this CAN be true for many people, let's never forget that there are things outside of our control that might hinder us to succeed. And we can never blame ourselves for that because that destroys our mental health and selfworth. Never forget that there are things like mental health struggles, poverty, inequality, war, nepotism, and systemic discrimination like racism, sexism and ableism that actively try to stop many people from reaching their goals. And sometimes to reach your goals you also simply need to be lucky: the right opportunity needs to pass at the right moment when you happen to be ready. That doesn't happen for everybody. That does not mean to stop trying, but always consider these things before you blame yourself for not succeeding because you deserve better. You are worth the world even when you don't succeed
via i absolutely love these types of videos from you, you always have something to say that really resonates and clicks with me,, thank you so much for sharing your experiences and being able to relate to others like this,, you really do have an impact, and i’m always so proud of to your growth and grateful to share it with you, so thank you ♡
Via ilyyyyy so much 😭😭 everytime life doesn't gos my way I watch your videos it helps me alottt , u a really good big sis 😭💘
this DEFINITELY HELPED ME SO MUCH, i was having a hard time maintaining my motivation, your videos ALWAYS HELP ME!! THANKS VIA!!
I truly needed someone saying these words to me; it’s a thought I always had but I’ve never been able to verbalize it as specifically as you did
saved this video for a day i could finally sit down and really listen and take this video in because i knew it would such a valuable video for me. thank you so much for this video via. it has genuinely changed my perspective especially since this is what i have been struggling with so much lately ❤❤❤
Thank you so much Via for posting this. Recently I've been figuring out how to outperform my old self in order to achieve a bigger goal and I've kind of been doing this same thing which you termed as 'system'. Now your opinions gave me some really valuable insights on how I can make my system much more efficient.
9:40 i love you for this ❤ this whole video made me emotional
I think I'll re-watch this video for the rest of my life. As an insecure teen this really spoke to me, thank you :) Depression and unbelief has had me down for a long time but I think I'm finally ready to just keep running and see where I go or at least atempt to.
needed to watch this cuz istg when i tell you i have been tired and unmotivated but now i feel better
I loved this. I would like to add that building a routine that is customized to your own needs and wants is crucial. Say, you want to work out and you haven't done it in a few years, but you see someone on social media work out five times a week, feeling great. Working out five times a week might be a bit much in the beginning, and you might lose motivation already after a week of attempting working out five times a week. But say you start working out one day a week to test it out and then you spend some time figuring out what kind of workout you would like to do, and then after a while you add another day, and later on you find a workout you really enjoy so you add another workout day. Point is, be patient and also listen to your body (and mind). That's when you'll see results, I think, at least in the long run.
via is so older sister coded, always giving the right tips
I love the way you think, I could listen to you talk for hours
you're so dawn right, girl! I just started my law college and things have been so hard, not only the college subject it self but actually my feelings, got frustrated every day for not studying such as i should and that shit makes me very depressed. but little steps are important and i'll try to remember it every day, and build my system. Thanks Via, and also kisses from my country, brazil🇧🇷 (you're internacional influent now lol)
I LOOOVE that you did this specific video, it's just what I needed and that you're the one doing it really means a lot to me ❤❤❤, I think I'll rewatch this when I'm feeling low on energy to work on myself. All the love ❤️
missed ur journal entries, ty for this ! love u < 3
You always motivate me and your content is so comforting ✨
I've been in a major slump and I really needed this. Thank you Via
girl, you have been such a blessing to me and so many others. Thank you for sharing!
this could not have come in a better moment!! thank you for bringing back the journal entries 💖
this helped me when it first came out, but here on new year's eve, a few hours from 2025 in my area, i'm really relistening to it and internalizing it. i have been in a lil bit of a stasis for weightloss and i'm only about 30% done. this is just what i needed and i'm glad it's here for me to look back on during this time.
between this and "honor the path you chose" from Dr Mike, it's an awesome combo
As a first year college student I love these kind of videos!!
You're like my online older sister giving me all the good advice (corny Ik 😭)
thank u so much via youre literally the reason i keep going and im not going to give up until i reach my goal love u >>
Thank you so much for this! I hope to hear your thoughts about people like me who worry about being too confident and happy in a moment and overthink something bad will happen afterwards.
I have missed these self-development videos🥰 Love u Via, I grow alongside you💪
You made me feel better today, Via. Thank you from my heart
