High 5 Habit: amzn.to/3fMvfPQ
The 5 Second Rule: amzn.to/3372Rl9
I am 67 and I have told myself that I am just getting started. I've been telling myself this the past year! So, I'm ready for 2024 and will continue to think positive and be grateful ❤❤
I’m 21 & I feel like it’s over for me because I wasted the past couple yrs with bad habits 📉😭
@@Cris-dk2qx Try to turn your life around. What are you grateful for?
So am I! 67 and thinking of a bright future!! 🎉
Same here! I look at some friends and they are 65 and ready for the recliner. I'm 68 and looking forward to building my business bigger this year, getting a new horse and getting in even Better shape than I am now! So exciting; I'm just getting geared up!!!!
I was about that age when I went to my first yoga class. At 78, I am taking my yoga teaching very seriously, (myself, not so much!), and have a 500 hr. Certification. You are allowed new beginnings at any age.
Looking at my photos over the past year was depressing. It showed me why I started looking for help through you and other pod casts. I dont have a life outside of my son who is fixing to leave this next year for college. It showed me that I dont have any friends or a significant other. 😢 All I do is work. I need a life! I guess one way to look at it is it wont take much to make 2024 better.
Then it's time to set goals and have the best year!!! I hope You find what You looking for, and I wish You the Best!🎉
❤
You got this. The eureka moment could just be round the corner. If you can put yourself out there you'll smash it!
Your son is going to college!! You should be so proud!! Being a mom and having a child that is accomplished is an accomplishment for you as a mom.:)
@@priscillaramos3033 Aw, thx for pointing that out. I really needed that!
Mel (I see you as a sister) I am a Mexican woman of 54 years old I don’t remember any highlights of this year all I did was work come home cook and feel unappreciated aside from not sharing an intimate life with my partner for many years, I want more but don’t have the energy to fight for it or work for it every day I think about it about loosing weight and going back to school, your podcast are a blessing to me even if a don’t see the difference now but I believe eventually listening more on your videos will help me
I Believe it will happen❤️
Everything takes time. Good change takes time. Hang in there. Small steps and you will reach your goal
Taking "action" in consistent small steps will get you there. Don't forget to Enjoy the journey along the way.
I'm 55 and totally get it! I felt like my body was falling apart but could never get myself to do anything. It was too big. So I started really small, just by going swimming once a week. I'm still overweight but my body already feels better. Start small!
I'm 52, went through menopause at 39, piled up a bunch of injuries, surgical repairs, then 4 total joint replacements, AND was diagnosed hypothyroid. So I went from good health at 40 (before the injuries started) to an absolute physical disaster, packing on....more than 50 pounds. : (. So I can relate to your fight for your health and Mel's comments about menopause. However I can relate MORE to me losing the fight for my partner of nineteen years. While I thought that only others presented a sunny side on social media. I suddenly realized this year that I was censoring a whole side of me too. No one would know that we failed couples counseling in 2013, and hadn't been intimate that long. That we could message or text, especially when he was traveling fine, but couldn't communicate anything besides what he wanted to eat in person. I finally realized this summer that I need to save me, for me. I wish you all of the support and understanding as you cultivate your BEST YOU going forward. Thank you MEL!!
@@lisahalbert4456Always do you first,I have learnt that after many years of feeling guilty if I put myself first,I have 5 grown children so "me" time was rare while they were growing,I realise when I'm strong & have taken time out for me I can be much more available for family & close friends,you can't run on empty & a cup half empty ❤
I spent ALL ofv2023 working on ME and I'm not the same miserable, overweight, unhappy woman I WAS. 2024 eill be another year I continue to improve me. It took me 71 years to start this attitude and now I couldn't be happier. I've always been a Medium and acknowledged that family gift but thus year I have really leaned into it for my benefit and my family's life and love. ❤ Thanks Mel.
You go girl!!😊
I can connect with your post. I lost 65 lbs and focused on me in 2023. Excited to spend 2024 continuing to move forward on a positive path.
What I really want to do next year is start looking into starting a food truck with my family 😊 and what I NEED to stop doing is complaining 😔 I need to stop complaining and start resetting my mind to see the possibilities instead of the road blocks 😊🙏🏼
I found your podcast this week after my therapist told me to pick more motivating, empowering, and positive podcasts to help my anxiety and depression. I used to wake up and listen to murder podcasts every morning. This is day 3 starting my mornings with this podcast and I can already tell a difference. Thank you.
@user-jp5xi4ue6g when I think back now it seems so obvious 😂 silly me
True crime can be exciting. I love it but I find I feel better if I spend that time listening to positive podcasts or learn something new. ❤
Kudos darling
At the begining of this year, I decided to stop watching the news and instead fill my mind with positive, happy, beautiful things. We are now at the end of 2023 and I said to my husband, what important news have I missed this year? Yes I know about the Gaza and Israel conflict, as I hear about it from others, and occassionally whilst flicking through the TV channels. Other than that, here in the UK, there has not been major news. I was worried I was keeping myself ignorant but my view is, if something is really important, I will hear about it from others.
I now focus on YOuTube channels that promote positive, happy and beautiful ways of living.
@softsophisticate thats wonderful! I think I'll try that as well! I would love to know which youtube channels you listen/watch.
I am a teacher for a public high school and will share this with my students when we return from our holiday break. I am personally turning 65 in April and ready to make a BIG change in my life and believe that this podcast has given me a great start to thinking and then focusing on what I want to do! Thank you very much Mel!!!
As a high school student, I love that and wish more teacher's would share this!
I'll be retiring after 43 years as an elementary teacher this year. Make the big change. I'm really looking forward to it.
it is power start for year 2024.
40:15 -> start here for the full 6 questions:
1. What are the highlights of your year?
2. What are the harder aspects of the past year for you?
3. What did you learn about yourself over the past 12 months?
4. What are the things you want to stop doing and not bring into the next year?
5. What do you want to continue doing in the next year?
6. What do you want to start doing for real in the coming year? What really matters to you?
Thank you Mel.
I’ve already written down a lot of high lights that happened this year.
It’s amazing how far I’ve come in my healing journey.
You’re such a blessing and a sister to all of us. ❤ 🇨🇦 🌎
Thank youuu

Thank you for this
Hello dear Mel!
My name is Mr. Tadele Mamo from Ethiopia. I turned 70 on December 26, five days back.
I just finished working on printed copy of the Workbook ‘Make 2024 your best year’. It is now 5:00 PM here in my city and I rushed to finish filling the book before midnight comes/New year/.
It is an eye-opening experience and I would like to say big ‘THANK YOU’ for your help. I shall continue watching your podcast on You tube.
God bless,
Tadele
Thank you, Mel! 2023 was a rough year for me. My husband, who has dementia, had to be placed in a memory care facility about three months ago. The loneliness and guilt has been crushing. I had to leave my job to care for him and companies aren’t kicking down the door to hire someone who got their college degrees 40 years ago. I am going to work on writing, making friends, and embracing my spirituality. I am a subscriber to your podcast and always look forward to your broadcasts. You are a blessing!❤
I know that guilt and sadness. I was taking care of my mom until she started falling and hitting her head. I put her in a facility because I wasn’t enough😢 and then Covid hit and I never saw her again.
But he is definitely in the best place - don’t feel guilty- you did great ❤
Sending the best of luck with everything.
🙏💐
@@kaiulanisallas9005You are Always good enough!❤ The hard part is to believe it yourself.
Hugs! ✨️💛
strong people last.. keep up the good spirit@@kaiulanisallas9005
2023 was my worst year ever, no highlights - my husband of 47 years started chemotherapy in January but after 9 awful months he died. I need to know how to start again but have hope for 2024 - friends and family are a good start as well as getting to know myself again..
Mel .... I just don't know where to start. I'm 71 years of age and have never learned so much about myself as I have in 2023 starting off when my daughter sent me the link to one of your podcasts ... the Dr. Ramani one about narcissism. OMG, that was the beginning for me. I listen to your podcasts almost daily, the "Let Them Theory" really spoke to me. If it wasn't for you and Dr. Ramani I honestly don't think I'd feel so much more at ease with myself. I'm working on how to Make 2024 the Best Year ... not a whole lot that I can reflect on in terms of accomplishments other than just personal growth but I'll get working on my plans for this year!! Most of the comments others have left you here resonate with me as well. Love you Mel!! You are the best!!
I’m going to continue to let them, and continue to do nothing, except play my violin, take walks with husband and dog, make healthy food and enjoy retirement. Letting go of fixing and saving people! Love u Mel, thank you 😊
I've always had people look to me for advice,motivation & as a bit of a fixer so when Mel said supporting as opposed to being responsible for people really resonated with me,some people are far too happy to continue to bring you all their problems on a regular basis & just expect you to give of your time & attention without giving anything in return,energy vampire's as they're called so going into a new year I am going to guard my time which is very precious & be more aware especially at the beginning of a new friendship of how I come across as I want relationship's on an even footing & not end up being an unpaid councillor & listening to negativity 😊
As someone who has endured one terrible year after another since 2015, I don’t think in terms of what a year will be like or not be like. Life doesn’t care if the calendar flips over. Thinking about how it’s a new year and all that gives us a false sense of control.
I started 2023 in a wrong foot. Depressed, suicidal and just struggling. I’m excited for the New Year and I want to start it right and this prompted me to search for some inspirations. I’m so thankful that I came across your video. Now I am a proud subscriber ❤️❤️❤️
Virtual hugs and kisses from this side sweetie, it's gonna be alright ❤
You are not alone. Hanging in there❤
How did you make it through the year feeling depressed and suicidal? Did you get help?
I'm only asking because I finally asked for help. It took there being a traumatic event in September for me to finally ask for help. I even took myself to the hospital and had them take me to a psychiatric hospital. It's the end of the year and I'm grateful to have sought help. I'm on medication and I'm feeling stable and focused. I went from being in bed and crying for 14 days straight to being back at work. I was hiding from the world and now I'm back in it but more present. As I write this I'm outside enjoying the cool but overcast California weather.
So hold on in there and ask for help. I have been depressed for 18 years and had constant suicidal thoughts and now I'm finally free. I'm less afraid, less sarcastic ( it was how I coped), I'm less negative and I'm having better relationships because I'm no longer pushing people away. I pushed people away because I felt undeserving and didn't see the point of having friends or relationships because I felt that I was going to be in this life only temporarily because I was going to kill myself.
So please I know it's hard to believe that you can be helped. When I would read messages about how people would seek help and tell others to seek it I didn't believe that things could get better. But they do.
I'm here and reliving 2023 because I started saying to everyone that it was the worst year of my life but in going month to month and writing the highlights of each month I now see that there was so much good and yes one or 2 horrible events happened that led to me seeking help but I'm stronger now because of those struggles. I have finally realized that I'm resilient and just needed help from my family, and professionals.
You're gonna do really great this year - set those goals and chase em. come back here in December and tell us all about it. you got this!!!
Mel thanks for this
I have shared with friends
There is a war here in Israel . I am doing my best to create a better life for 2024
With all the struggles, kids in Gaza fighting for our safety , change in focus in my business and inviting a new love into my life
Mel! You are my light! I’ve had a pretty rough year, I kept everything inside, helped everyone but myself, and about 1 month ago I’ve hit “rock bottom “. Even though I’m 47 years old I’ve lost my ways. I NEEDED someone to tell me WHAT TO DO, like I’m a child, guide me, help me get over hard times, send me to the right direction . That’s when I’ve found YOU! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!❤
Ty for sharing your story ❤ sending hugs 🫂
SAME!!!!
I literally got "let them" tattooed on me. I wasn't using it. Recently I had a friend visit me and she just kept saying that to me. It was beautiful and I will start using that!
I really struggled in the friendship relationship department this year. Lost a lot of people I thought were friends and because I have some anxious attachment problems, I really took it hard. We moved and were adjusting to a new routine also. I spent a lot of the year trying to enjoy life but if I’m honest, I’ve been bitter and angry about a lot of my life. Guess I need to reflect a little more so I can put my word for 2024 into action. I don’t really have new years goals but I try to reflect on how my life was for the year and re-route for the following year. This coming year is: PEACE. Peace in relationships, in my own life, with material possessions and growing my Christian faith way more. If I have to let go of an item, a person or set a boundary for peace my goal this year is to be able to do it confidently.
I lost my youngest son a year ago and a month before that happened I learned my oldest son fell ill and was hospitalized for 8 months, hospital, rehab and nursing home. The nursing home was so horrible that I brought him home and cared for him for 5 months. It was extremely hard to care for him physically and emotionally. He just passed away. These two guys were my everything. Thank goodness I still have a surviving son and daughter. I'm all alone now. I can't find one good thing in the last year because I was with my son constantly and ever day I didn't
know if he was going to be alive. I can't even start to consider where I have been in the last year. I don't know what I want except for my boys back. To me these problems you mention are nothing. How can I move forward when I know there is no way that things can improve. People say time will heal, it doesn't. You just miss them more as time goes on.
I am so sorry about your experience. May your son be resting in eternal peace and may you keep them alive with all the love you feel for them. The good thing WAS that YOU WERE THERE for your son. It sucks, it hurts, it's not something any mother deserves but you had a privilege that not many have. My 46 year old "healthy" older brother died suddenly of a heart attack. Mom, my younger brother and I didn't have the chance to take care of him or say good bye. He was just gone. God bless you. Embrace that as the one good thing about this painful experience. 🫶🏻
I agree, grief puts all the “problems” into perspective. A lot of people (I include myself now) have no idea what a real problem is. I lost my husband of 47 years this year after horrendous suffering. I wish you peace. Sue UK ❤️
I'm not sure I have lived on purpose in a very long time. I am ready!! Thank you, Mel!
I remember the time before you even started this podcast Mel, and you were so anxious about it and taking yourself out of doing it.
And heck, look at you now! I can say, we are so happy you took a chance on yourself, your unique voice and story 🖤
I downloaded and was thinking about all the questions, beccause this year was one of my toughest! Move 800 miles to new area, like you, by myself. Lost my largest client costing 1/3 of my income! Also, in menopause also! Also struggling to find friends and need to get involved. And last but the most important having no real health issues, save for one--my eyesight--afraid I may lose my sight! Need to get back my positive self! Thank you for sharing this!
Thank you Mel! Your comment about "not holding yourself responsible for others emotions" really hit home for me. I would love to hear an episode on that. I think it could be as powerful as The Let Them Theory. Thanks again!! ❤
Me, too.
2023 was one of the best years of my life. Who would have thought I would feel this way at 56! This is the first time watching one of Mel’s videos. It makes so much sense. I have figured some of this on my own. I will be completing my audit for 2024 goals especially since it will help me remain focused on keeping a happy well balanced lifestyle. I also subscribed. Thanks Mel 😍
This couldn’t have come at a better time. Reflecting on this year, has made me realize that there was a lot of good I have to be grateful for!😊
I just want to say that I really appreciate that you are so inclusive of your audience when you're beginning your episodes. 💕 "im so happy YOU ALL arw here with me"
I got out my journals and started reading the past. Suicidal thoughts started surfacing! I think a good lunch, nap and movie will be the best thing for the rest of my day, thank you! I will try again tomorrow.
Hi! I just want to say I am a new follower of your podcasts, and I just started the High Five Challenge routine and added in the finding hearts as well. And yesterday afternoon just hours after listening to that podcast I went on my afternoon walk and I was so excited when I found four hearts!! I mean it manifested that quick! And then this morning I was for the first time in my life excited about getting to the mirror to see myself and high five myself and look into my eyes and speak my intentions for the day! I was astounded that yesterday was my first day with both the high five and the hearts and I was so looking forward to doing both already. I literally felt this joy and excitement at the prospect of finding hearts today, as well as excited to go high five myself! Thanks so much for what you are doing! I am “addicted” lol! , to listening to your podcasts! These last two years have been the hardest of my life and I am an avid fifteen year long gratitude writer, journaling every morning, meditating, tapping but, these additions have brought me a new something that was missing. I think it must be that knowing the power lies within in us is so different than actually seeing it and feeling it. Which is what these habits have immediately shown me. The other things I do are wonderful too. But, this was immediate. And I know the cumulative benefits will be huge!
This was a really great episode. Looking back, I've asked myself at least two of these questions at the beginning of each new year, but I've never asked all six. Now as I sit doing just that, I find myself genuinely surprised by my answers.
i lost my father in november, at a respectabel age of 85, but he suffered a lot from a rare form of instant leukemia, despite the grief that i am feeling i also see an opening for this new year to get a healthier and more fullfilling life for myself at the age of 60!!
I did something similar many years ago and sadly stopped. This year is a new beginning for me and this is perfect to plan 2024 with. Thank you!
I was packing for a trip while listening to this episode and I cannot thank you enough for the great inspiration you have given us. THANK YOU.
I completed it today and it was an incredible exercise. I slipped into a depression before thanksgiving and had forgotten ALL amazing things I did this year. I feel hopeful for 2024 because of doing this packet today. Thank you sooo much for sharing your knowledge. Love you all xoxo
Struggle of 2023: Getting over a relationship that I really trusted my heart into. He was not like all other friends I've had, he was supportive and willing to address every issue, had excellent communication, and appreciated my strong character rather than tagging it as 'manly'. I really appreciated these qualities of him but then he left, for the simple reason that his ex came back and now I wonder, if all of it was even real?
The sad part is done. Now here's the good part, I am ready and willing to get past it and every other mental health hurdle I chose to suppress previously. So I frequently tune in to Mel Robbins's podcast. Mel, you give me so much clarity about life, thank you. :))
Mel, you are a shining light in this world. Much appreciated. I looked at the past year, and I have so much to be grateful for. I can't wait to sit down and write all the answers to these 6 questions . 1 thing I want to start, just off the top of my head, is to have all my kids and grandkids over once a month for lunch.
Mel, you are an amazing, bright light that keeps on shining over and over again. I am so grateful for your podcasts, your videos and the challenges you bring into my life. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
Thank you for this, Mel. I just finished filling the 2024 guide and feel so well. It really makes a difference when you put your thoughts and reflect on a paper. It helps you to get your power back, recognize your own strength and potential and helps to practice gratitude and compassion. Thank you for having such a big impact in our lives! This is what I have learned about myself in 2023:
HEALTH AND WELLNESS:
I learned that the hard part of creating a workout routine is the start and what you tell yourself, more than keeping the habit. The habit is actually pleasant.
CAREER, MONEY OR SCHOOL:
There is no need to stress so much or to feel insecure about a new challenge or when out of your comfort zone. No one was born knowing how to do something already. Be kind and patient with yourself.
RELATIONSHIPS, LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP:
Everyone is a little anxious in a conversation or in a reunion. There is no need of taking yourself so seriously. Just breathe, be yourself and give it your best.
No one is really thinking about you in the deep way that we think about ourselves.
FUN AND HAPPINESS:
Learned not to forget to always find ways to make myself happy and not rely on others to fulfil this goal.
PURPOSE, SPIRITUALITY AND MEANING:
Learned to overcome my fears and anxiety. Learned to not be so hard on myself and to have compassion with myself. Learned that I matter and that we all are unique and have a unique contribution in this world. Learned that I refuse to live a life without purpose. Learned a different strength within myself. Learned a new relationship with God.
I really like the down-to-earth way Mel Robbins is taking us by the hand, guiding us to a better life, by analyzing what we truly want. THANK YOU MEL! YOU ARE AMAZING.
Hint: this is what I did…. Downloaded it into GoodNotes on my IPad as a new document and with my Apple Pencil I write and answered the 6 questions, add goals, milestones, add photos, etc. better yet save the original, duplicate and add title 2024 and write in that one. It stays with me all the time and next year revisit it and duplicate the original again title it 2025. 🤷🏻♀️
Hey Mel, I’m 44 and unemployed. Recently divorced but trying to make my life changes. I’ve started an inperson course and I have stated following your videos as well due to how much they help. Love your work
Mel, you are real! You show yourself to others that you are a human being, nothing more, nothing less. I sure love your "Let Them" Theory and cannot wait to purchase your book when it's published --- but NO RUSH! Thank you for being YOU!
I almost died from a medical emergency last march and received a diagnosis which has taught me to value my life and time/energy even more than before. I will slow down instead of speed up. Everything falls into place when I slow down. It's the opposite of what society is telling us about needing to be super productive to be happy. I'm happiest in the quiet moments of life.🌹
Tomorrow is my birthday and it's the beginning of the next year and I am watching this video, it is the sign from God, now I am trying to figure out how and what I should do. Thank you Mel R❤😊
Thanks so much Mel for the last 12 months and the journal that I will give a copy to a friend. I am 56 and have had a very emotional 12 months coming out of a narcissistic partner of 8 years that blew me away when I heard that podcast - wow it all made sense as I had blamed myself for our failed turbulent time. I have wanted to start a UA-cam channel for 5 years which I did New Years Eve - Maturing Beautifully with Miss Kathryn, I am so excited for the next 12 months and i thank you for all the wise wisdom you share for us to grow. xx
That is so sweet and appreciated. In fact, I am in AW from all the support I have received from Mel's fan base. Thank you. It really touches my heart.
Looking back to year 2023, it has been a great year for me. I made time for myself and loved ones. I couldn't finish a book in many years, but I read at least 5 books this year. I was more conscious about healthy living and lived a healthier life, but my body composition was worse. Maybe i am at a stage where it is harder to burn stubborn belly fat. However, I am determined to reduce my body fat from 25% to 20%. I am trying to fo this with my best friend.
I am only about 10 minutes into this talk and i feel really emotional, it really spoke to me on a level that i need, thank you Mel you are lovely and such an inspiration, I hope you know how much good you do in the world, thank you again x
I’m a HUGE fan of reflecting and goal setting. This video and journal really helped me bring this to the next level for me and I found it at the perfect time within the middle of my reflecting and reviewing week(s).
Mel, I appreciate you and the authentic wisdom you are always sharing with us! 😊
I started saying when I’m hit with a hot flash, ‘Please send this hot flash 🔥 to someone that needs it! Thank you’.🙏🏼
Seems to work pretty good for me lol. 😂
I’m so excited to share this with both of my adult children on our New Year’s Eve party and get them as excited as I am to make 2024 one of all of our best years ever 🎉
This is awesome and so motivating! I am turning 60 next month in January and I am focused on my health and well-being and not saying yes to everything!!
My husband and I love to redo our budget and vacations/activities for the next year after Christmas. This is a great addition to our planning!!! I will definitely pic/tag/post about it ❤🎉
That final speech made me tearful. I really do need a great year next year and you’ve given me the tools to do it. Thank you xx
What a perfect start into the new year !!!
This has been the first time I listened to your podcast. Following my daughter's recommendation I started listening to this episode this morning in this very special early time of the year...and I feel great...meaning full of energy shaping the next 365 days of the year...and more to come ...I am only 63 !!!
Dear daughter & Mel...thank you so much for this inspiration to enrich my life with new perspectives!!!
Hi Mel, I printed off your booklet and completed it over a weeks time...thinking about each step. I really like how you helped me focus on an attainable change in my personal patterns. 2 years ago I lost my husband to the "widow makers" heart attack. How I managed my life was going into somewhat of a recluse. Many friends and family reached out to me...but, I just couldn't let myself be free. However, my journey continues and my plan for this year is for ME to reach out to others...invite them into my space and back into my heart. (They never left --it was me who pulled away). I live in a small community so this 2nd week of January, I have had 2 coffee dates...it felt good. I have entered a reminder in my phone to review my goals every month. Thank you for your podcasts...they are just so motivational, informational, and all that stuff!! Linda
Hi Linda. It made me smile to read of your two coffee dates already this year. I hope your year goes well. Good luck with your goals. ;-) My goal has some similarity with yours I think. I realized last year that I spent very little time with friends as I travlled a lot. This made me feel disconnected and isolated and sad sometimes. I decided that this year my goal is to make friends and build a community. I though why not start here and reeach out to others who value Mel's help. I think supporting and motivating each othe is a good start. ;-)
Thank you Mel!! This was very informative. These past two years have been totally transformative. I’m not sure what’s next. I’m resting with God during the holidays to hear what He thinks!! 🙏❤️🤩
Mel, you are amazing. Thank you for believing in me and helping me achieve my potentials. I love you ❤️

Thank you Mel took me two hours to do the work book at age nearly 55 I finally making my goal for 2024 is to value and love myself should of the done this years ago but doing the workbook really showed me where I needed to do the work .
Best podcast ever. You are inspiring Mel and so real and transparent. Thank you !!! ❤ I related in so so many ways and feel hopeful and encouraged for the new year instead of dreading “ one more year to accomplish nothing but getting through my days “ thank you for sharing your resource too. That in of itself shows you truly just want to help us all do this thing called life that is beautiful but also so painful at times. You are a blessing 🙏 wishing you an amazing 2024 🎉

love from Afghanistan
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This has been the hardest year of my life no exaggeration. My ex mom in law I was close with growing up passed in January, my dad passed away in February (he wasn't around my whole life but I tried to call him he was a cruel person though but hope is lost now for him to come around), then the hardest of all my sweet mom (raised me as single momma) and best practically only friend in August passed away, then last week before Christmas my mom's dog Daisy passed away. If it wasn't for my faith in God and listening to podcasts like yours Mel I could not get through this very well. My mom and I talked daily so it's been completely jarring to routine and I actually was having heart checked out with a heart monitor that week she passed, I now take medicine for palpitations so it's just been a lot and told I have severe anxiety. I'm 41 so I look to Mel more like a sister who can give me motherly advice so when I miss my mom I plan on watching Mel to get me through another day. I wish I had friends like her that have this motivational/ entrepreneurial spirit in my area (in a super small town though and hard to find people like that it seems unless in place like New York) I sorta stick to myself working on cricut crafting projects and past few years started a very small business posting books on Amazon I created for sale and incorporating AI images. Thanks Mel for being a cheerleader in life for those of us who are hurting or simply just having a rough day. Hugs to all your followers and will be answering these 6 questions to go into the new year. I am still trying daily to be the best version of myself and not giving up hope for a successful future (:
THANK YOU MEL!!!! 🎉 I desperately needed this and from myself and Everyone- I Love You! Thank you for providing this to us for Free - like actually Free! You are a Real one. ❤ you are authentic. You don’t just talk the talk. You walk it. And I’m proud of you and So happy you started this podcast. You are inspiring and beautiful in all your realness and I appreciate you very much. ❤
To Mel and the team, I love you,hope you have a lovely holiday season, full of love,peace and light. Thank you for all you do for us❤❤
I am grateful that I was able to watch your video now that 2023 is about to end. Thank you for your insights Mel and hope to be honest with myself in answering all those simple yet powerful questions to make this coming year even better.
Hey Mel! hope your holiday season is filled with love, laughter, and all the good things that come with this time of year. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year filled with joy and success!
Thanks Mel because of you I have been able to lose 22 kgs this year. I remember those gloomy af summer afternoons when I did not feel like it to my bone but I did it anyyyywaysssss🎉🎉😊u rock Mel
I absolutely love you Mel. You are so authentic and I truly appreciate your honesty and sharing your personal thoughts and experiences. By you doing that, makes me feel like it's ok that I failed or feel down. It's s not the end of the world. Just pick yourself up, dust yourself off and put your game face on cause it's go time baby😊
I love this Mel and will be working with my family on this before New Years. I just want to let you know that you will love your body and life more after menopause. (little over 60 here!)
One of the works that l want to continue is keep listening to your podcasts every morning . Thank you very much
Hi Mel and team. Firstly I'd like to thank you for this fantastic workbook. I spent a few days on it and completed it today. I feel very positive and motivated. That alone feels great. My goal is simpler than I thought it would be( or maybe not) I simply want to make new friends and be a part of a community. This stems from feeling alone and isolated sometimes last year diue to constantly travelling. I know many people feel this way but I realize it's down to me to make the changes. Your workbook really helped me to identify what I want, but not only that it helped me clarify what I need to do to achieve my goal. I can now see a clearer path forward. Thank you. I'm very grateful for you. ;-) You're simply wonderful.
I've been listening to your podcasts for a year now and you have really helped me at my worst. My anxiety had sky rocketed over the last 6 months and now I'm feeling brand new because majority of it was because of listening to your powerful words and that had changed my mindset. I really love the "Let them" theory, these two words has helped me through a lot of tough times. I am a lot better now. I will keep listening to your podcasts. Not only your podcasts are great for my mental health, but it's also brilliant to gain my knowledge about everything in life. Thank you Mel x
I was just getting ready to work on the Make 2024 Your Best Year Yet workbook and my son just gave me "The High 5 Habit" book! Thank you for all that you do! Let's go, baby!
I just downloaded the journal today, and will be making copies for every member of my family. I'm super excited to fill it out and fill it out and make 2024 a great year.
Thank you!!!!
Mel, you have been the light and the hope in my life for the last year. Thank you!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏 wishing you a happy Christmas and a new year full of wonderful moments, health and joy ❤️
Your wisdom is changing my life, I'm a better human being, a better father and better man. Thank you
This work book was just what I needed to kick start the year and I've shared it with my writers' group. I feel focused and motivated on the back of it!
I read parts of Your books in Russian, which was translated. Right now I can see You! I thought You are very old woman- but You are so young and I am happy I am living with You on same time and same country 😇Thank You I have You on my life💜
Mel, I have never invested so much in myself. Thank you for giving me the courage to take this first step! No longer just teacher and mother, I am one strong single momma who is beyond blessed. I just need to continue my path to success and a phenomenal life! Loved completing the workbook! What's next?? haha
Thank you for sharing all your experiences. You have been a blessing to me for the last 4 months ❤❤❤
This was awesome. I am pumped up to start now as well! I really feel like the first 3 questions will help springboard my goals for 2024. Thank you for this episode.
Sometimes it feels like I did something that I didn’t know I did or what it was as seems like something is always being hidden from me thus still confused but gets better, clearer, and stronger everyday.
Past year was sadness. Several friends and family past away. One ran into the next. 4 months I helped my single 73 year old brother with a broken neck. He did heal, but needs to be careful. Then his dog past away. My husband and I had bronchitis and RSV. I had a sister go into memory care. She'll 73. My pictures and sad. No good highlights. So I plan major self care in all areas.
Listening to you tonight, I'm suddenly excited about the new year, where I had been dreading it a little. Can't wait to get quiet in tomorrow morning and give these questions my full attention . Thank you Mel. Happy New Year❤
Mel you are waking me up today! It is two days after Christmas and I am exhausted. I'm sitting here disappointed in myself for not feeling motivated to do anything but rest my body and mind. I made dinner at Christmas and I almost lost my mind with having to ask for help getting things done to get ready plus having to manage myself and all that I had to do on my own. I'm now having to look forward to working six days in a row which I did to myself just because I wanted to be off Christmas. I'm exhausted from doing everything for everyone else the last three years and doing everything that everyone has told me to do my whole life. I'm ready to change my life and thanks for helping all of us along.
There is nothing wrong with spending time resting. I have worked in retail for the last 15 years and always went to parents or In-Laws at Christmas, both a 2 hour drive away. Christmas was always full on. I gave up my retail job this year and told my husband I wanted to spent a quiet Christmas at home for a change. It was lovely. I now need to motivate myself to get off the sofa :) If people didn't want to help you prepare Christmas dinner, maybe don't invite them next year or suggest going out instead or each person brings a side dish. It shouldn't all be down to you. People are happy to be social loafers and let others do the work.
I’ve spent my Christmas methodically going through your questions, 5 days and it’s been an eye opener. I’m now putting post it notes all over my house to remind me what do ! I have late diagnosed ADHD (54yrs) and my planning is really good (Ex Project Manager) my implementations are sporadic, consistent or non existent. Could you do a follow up with tips on how to wrangle the brain to stay energised, focused and in control? Thanks Mel and team it’s been an adventure into my brain x
Thank you Mel Robbins and your incredible team. I would not have got through 2023 without you on my shoulder. This next year will be my best year yet!🎉 I love you.
Loved this podcast! Love the fact that you include your family with the journal. Very inspiring. Thank you, Mel Robbins!
Hi Mel
I listened to this driving , it really did make me think!
The big highlight was getting married, but a few months before we had to say goodbye to our two dogs so it was a very up and year. Thankyou for all that you do. I have so much in common with you menopause issues, adhd and major procrastination. Working on it!
Thank you, Mel, for sharing this tool to make the most of 2024. It's really given me some perspective about where I am and where I'm going. I can really relate that some of our "highlights" can cross with our "challenges" from 2023. I'm also going to share this with my direct reports and encourage them to share with their teams.
Thanks for sharing your wisdom with the world. Your frankness is appreciated and invaluable. Happy holidays to you and your family ⭐️
Brilliant questions Mel, I really appreciate now how important the 1st 3 questions are in taking my life forward in 2024. Thank you ❤
Just finished the exercise and I’m now so so excited for this year! Thank you Mel!
Happy Christmas 🎄 to you Mel and your loved ones.
I’m sorry you were lost and happy you are safe.
Mel, when I started watching this video, I didn't think I was going to last long into it, but it turned out I couldn't stop listenning and I downloaded the Workbook. I like how real and personal you come out, how honest you are about your problems, because we sure all have problems and facing them is important. Without making this too long, this exercise of the 6 questions does bring clarity in my life. Keep up the good work. Thank you and God bless you.
Thank you for this! And I can share something that I have passed through personally that may be useful regarding your health...find a functional medicine doctor. I tried to do post menopause without any assistance and hardly recognized myself. NOW I feel better than I have in over a decade. Its life changing and I just wish I had gotten this help sooner. Cheers to 2024!
Thank you Mel, I'm so grateful for this video and for the workbook - that's what I was looking for to make 2024 the best year of my life and my family! Wish you all the best! Cheers!
i really need to listen to this podcast more than ones or twice! such an amazing video, thanks a lot for the journal 💜 i'm not used to talk about goals with my family but maybe i'll do it this time and translate the video for them, thanks again
I'm going to try doing this and I want to move forward in a positive way but the last 12 months have been hard on me. High lights was I got to spend time with my brother before he died and with my mom before she had her stroke. Hopefully I was helpful while I was there
