WH DBB isn't she. so much joy and passion.
WH DBB I agree with that whole heartedly!
WH DBB TRUE 😍😍
so true!
WH DBB 😽💕💕 love you!
I just wanted to thank you because you changed my life and I'm so thankful that you help all of us, your subscribers to find our place in the world. Your videos that show us how to be confident and how to not care of what people think and more are amazing ❤️❤️i love youuu sooo much❤️❤️
Didi Kostova I'm so grateful to be a part of your journey!! Thank youu & love you!! 💕💕
Yes PLEASE make videos on a self-care day and how to do better with work-life balance. Super struggling with that myself this year as I expand my business and it makes me a little crazy some days!
LA Page Makeup it's coming!! Yass you go girl!! Building a business ain't easy, sending you strength and support! 💕
you looks verrryyy pretty and beautiful in curly hairs. 😘😘😍
I have the exact same issue with meditation! Especially on the days I don't manage to do my morning meditation, I at least try to turn an everyday habit into a meditation (meaning do it as mindfully as possible), like makeup, journaling, artists dates etc
Love this so much and you look absolutely stunning!! ✨✨
Erin Henry thanks babe 💖💖
I am so excited for you! Happy you have a team to help make everything great
Congrats on all the amazingness you have going on Aileen! You deserve it! The contributions you're making to the world by sharing your journey and spreading positive energy is such a gift. You rock! Thanks for all the inspirational work you do!
I love how honest you are and how you don't cut yourself up over goals that haven't been achieved yet - it is a really important reminder to everyone that progress is better than perfection!
This was such an inspirational video, thank you Aileen! I have downloaded the worksheet and start reviewing my year so far :)
I've been watching your videos since the end of last year (just around when Artist of Life was introduced) and I'd like to thank you for the time and effort you put into your videos, your ideas, and everything that you do.
Just last week, I'd realized that we're almost six months into 2017 already and i was feeling like I'd wasted yet another year. After going through the questions and answering every one of them, however, I've realized I've accomplished sooooo much in just 6 months and i feel so much better. I'd forgotten that i even had a theme for this year, but after seeing the question, I checked the notebook where I'd written my goals/ theme at the beginning of the year, and I saw just how much this year had aligned with my theme without me even realizing it.
These questions and this video couldn't have been made at a better time (but then again, i feel that way about all your other videos too). I've done everything, from packing the konmari way to ikigai to vivid vision along with your videos and they've all helped me reach my initial goal of 2017 without me even being aware of it. thank you so much❤❤
Petit Potato omg that's so amazing to hear!! Congrats!!! 💖💖 sometimes we forget our accomplishments if we don't reflect on them :) celebrate your small wins weekly! I'm also so grateful that you're here in this community. Sending you so much love!
I'm so happy watching your personal and UA-cam growth, Aileen!! Keep on being inspiring :) You are such a blessing to so many!!
Great video! I've learned the reason we tend to shy away from asking for help, especially from those we "admire" is the fear of rejection. The "NO" screams so loud in our subconscious that we talk ourselves out of asking for the very thing we need. I also agree with you, one great video per week is a great idea! Congrats on being on point at the mid year! Successful people keep track of, and measure their goals on a regular basis! Hugs!
to be quite honest, listening to your podcast has kept me on top of my goals and the process to reach them, especially ones about productivity. so, thank you so much for that xo
What a cool video! I love your honesty, telling us that you didn't always achive your goals, showing us you aren't perfect. I also loved the background in this video, it's just something that caught my eye. Have fun on your vacation and enjoy it!
Congratulations, Aileen! It makes me so happy to see how successful you are, and how much you've grown. Thank you! 🤗🤗
Maya P. Thank you love!! 💕
I couldn't stop smiling when you talked about you've accomplish so far. keep going! You've inspire so much, and I'm improving my habits and I feel that one of the factors is you and your channel.
Ilia Firpo thank you so much!! Love that we can all grow together and learn from each other online 🤗
I feel you on the amt of vids you want to upload. I always worry that the person will burn out, run out of ideas, stunt creativity, and/or dilute the content to stretch it out when I see a lot of weekly uploads. Do whatever you are happy and comfortable with, I will always watch cause this channel is one of my happy places.♡
Apt LifeView aww thank you 🙏🏼💕💕
Thanks to your inspiring videos on journaling, Aileen, I've finally picked it up again and am reaping the benefits of writing my thoughts and reflections on paper. There is something highly grounding about the act of putting pen to paper. I am touched by your positivity, diligence and zest for life and my day-to-day life is brighter because of what you put on this channel, so thank you and keep up the excellent work girl!
Natalie I agree about the magic of journaling!! Sooo glad you've found that again. It's amazing. Wishing you well 💖
I'm so happy you're doing this again next year :) you're so inspirational!
Saw your channel last week. Let me say. I did a 180 with my life. I started living minimal and being very frugal. I also started my programming classes on skill share. Thank you for giving me that push that I needed.
I love watching your videos, you have such a positive energy and outlook! I live a pretty hectic lifestyle and personally I find it easiest to meditate just before I go to sleep, I just find this the best time to reflect and relax because all the stresses of the day can be put behind you.
Emilia Stewart thanks for the tip!
Thank you for this video. I got to know your UA-cam channel in May. I've not made any goal for this year. But I'm definitely making a mid year goal which I want to achieve by Christmas 2017. My fingers crossed as I'm too good in procrastinating 😞 due to fear and lack of self confidence.
Your videos motivate me....😇
You're an Angel 👼
Happy for your achievements too💖you've inspired me so much
Congratulations on all of your advancement this year, so amazing! 💕
Thanks for sharing! I think watching your videos really do help, the ones where you talk about a topic or something inspirational, ways to work and how to organize yourself, etc., even the ones like this video, hearing how you keep track of your goals and how are you doing help us because, if you can achieve your goals of course we will able too!
Kind regards from Mexico!
you're amazing, aileen, each time you outdid yourself! totally see the effort. amazing. i hope one day i can support your work by purchasing it. thank you for being authentic and full-of-flavor!
Lydia Marida thank u love! 💖💖
Love love love! So happy for you Aileen! My heart is so happy with you!
Rianna Bixler thank you my love!!! So grateful to know you better in our group!! 💜💜
I'm just as grateful!
love this video. It's so good that you are totally honest. It is so inspiring! love your channel ❤❤
I just want to thank you for uploading this kind of vids. Getting my life organized made me a more mature person plus helped me out of my depression. THANK YOU SO MUCH❤
KimTaehyungIsMyHusband SoPlsTakeYourHandsOffHimThx that's AMAZING. thank you for being here! 💖
Really good video; keep up the awesome work!
You are so inspiring! I love watching your channel. ❤️
I think noon could also be a good time to meditate since you take a pause in the middle of your day and can refresh/relax before tackling the afternoon assignments. You can start with 5 minutes, so it won't put time pressure on you.
Also I just wanted to say you look super nice in this video! 🌻 Thank you for being my inspiration! 💕
Watching your videos instantly put me on the work mode!!! im so motivated idk if i want this video to last forever or end already so i can work on my personal projects. Haha! Thank you so much Aileen. You deserve all of this and more ❤️
I'm in love with your channel, you're so inspirational and so real, and your videos are just so clean, beautiful and pleasant to watch. Thank you so much for doing this!
thank you!!
Hi Lavendaire!
Very good material, thanks for sharing!
This time, I’ll get away with: ‘strive for progress, not perfection’. Currently, this resonates with me strongly, specially for the things I’m planning to accomplish.
Have an excellent week!
Blessings!!
Horacio Salazar Gómez yes!! So important to strive for progress and not be hard on ourselves if things aren't perfect. Any improvement is good!
LOVE this video! It's so nice to hear you be honest about letting some goals go that just weren't happening for one reason or another. You've had so much success and so much to be proud of in such a short time. :)
As for the meditation - I do have a tip! Especially because one of your goals is to move more and - YAY - you've started running! I meditate while I run. I know that sounds weird, but here's why it works: your breathing is super rhythmic (yeah, it's not deep breaths, but that's not actually a requirement for meditation), your body can complete the movements without thinking too hard, and it's a dedicated 20 - 60 minutes that you're not doing something else. It's seriously perfect! I set an intention before I start running of something I'd like to focus on, but then I'm also open to letting my mind go where it wants to go. I swear I solve all the world's problems when I run. :)
Thank you for these honest and inspiring videos! I know exactly why you've had such an explosion of success recently: you're worth it. You're super relatable and genuinely NICE. Cheers to an even better second half of 2017! :)
that's an interesting way to meditate! I'll try it next time I run, thank you!!
So friggin proud of you!!!
You are looking great in this video. I'm glad this year has been good. I think it shows.
When I watch your videos ,I feel really relaxed. You inspire me a lot to start a new life with good habits and to be more creative ❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you so much and keep being unique and wonderful 😍😍😍💙
i just subscribed to your channel TODAY and am absolutly in love with your content. you are so genuine!
Looking so pretty, Aileen! Gonna do my own mid-year review too. Thanks for the worksheet!
I love how honest you are with us 🤗
you deserve so much more love and subscribers 🌻💛
dumbledors army 💕💕
Love your hairstyle-and every one of your videos! Keep up the great work 💜
Thank you for helping me cope up with my depression and anxiety! It means alot, your vids!
so glad to hear that!
another video, love it Lavendaire❤ By the way a new look! Its so beautiful
another refreshing and a video with a personal touch 😁 keep going Aileen
Aswini Ramesh thank you 💕
Congratulations on 200k, Aileen! You are so inspiring to me always (: the great thing about meditation is you can do it anywhere, anytime. When you're waiting in line or doing any routine activity, just deeply focus on the present moment. Even that is meditating. Too often we find ourselves rushing in the morning or exhausted at night so it's nice to do bits of meditation throughout the day
thank you!! this is great advice, I'll start meditating in the day as a break!
you are a wonderful person..you always inspire me..thank you
Bait Byoot 🙏🏼✨
Just stumbled to your channel and I am so blown away by your positive demeanor and soothing, visually appealing layout of your channel! Many congratulations on your personal and professional accomplishments :) I will definitely be referring to your channel for my own personal growth. Keep rocking on, beautiful lady!
thank you!
Wow! Dear, I was more listenting than watching your video first (not because I didn't wanne watch, but with "just" listening, I can manage to see/listen to your content - just to clarify ;) ), but then I took a glance and WOW! Your hair looks a-m-a-z-i-n-g today!
Now off to continue watching/listening to your vid. XX
Thanks for doing this, Aileen! I loved how you're so real and relatable in this video. Meditation practice is also one of my goals this year and what really helps me keep up with the goal is this app called Simple Habit. I realized there's a learning curve in instilling the habit to practice it so guided meditation works best for me. Hope it helps you too! Thanks so much for the worksheet. I'll work on it today.😊
Strive for progress not perfection ❤️ I loved it . Your quotes are always on point
Thanks for sharing your experiences! You're so inspiring! 💕
Buse EROĞLU 💖💖

I used to struggle with morning meditation so I tried do it before bed and playing the music for meditation(kinda like natural sounds and stuff)start with 10 min first.That's been quite helped me a lot lately so I tried adding to 15 min and I've been stick with it regularly(skipped a day a week sometimes XD)but I tried to keep going,I think you can do it too! ~plus just recently subscribe to your channel love your stuff and thoughts,you're inspiring.I'mtrying to watch past posted VDO, definitely looking forward to the next one xoxo.

neonblaQc yes you should! And thank you 😊
i'm in love with all your videos!!! please never stop LMAO
peterwbu 😘😘😘
This was a great review, I like that you have re-evaluated some of your goals and that you are having more space and fun this year! At the beginning of the year, I thought that the goal of finishing the book was a little overambitious and not necessary, because there's no such rush and it is a good idea to grow your business in the meantime. Enjoy your holiday and have a great start to the second half of the year! You continue to be my inspiration while getting closer to my dreams and working on myself, thank you :- )
thank you! you're right, I have to be patient and not force the book :)
Thank you for inspiring and motivating me
fati sharnoubi 🙏🏼✨
I love it when im early in your videos!!💕
Muhanad Mohamad yayyy
Thank you for being so inspirational :)
madhu rima 💖💖
Been following you since your minimalism video. Love this video and your contents! Btw, i love this make-up on you.. fresh and beautiful!💕💕💕
thanks love!
I'm definitely going to work on this sheet I want to see where I am with things as I am sure I have shifted my goals a little.
You are looking so good!!!! Loved the vdo too
Watching your videos all this time and never realized that I never subscribed😣!! So dumb! Just subscribed. You are so inspiring! Love you💜
better late than never ;) thank you!!
There is no such thing as 'the right time for meditation'. just meditate whenever u have time for it. when u sit in a train or at an appointment. that's my tip for that :)
much love from germany, love ur videos!
Hugohaumichtot ahh thank you! I appreciate that :)
im getting addicted to ur videos i even download some ^-^ ur amazing ♥
imi amou love u!
Just have to watch Aileen's new video right away! Agree?
your day should start by 5-6 , it's good for your lifestyle as well. and once you fall into that schedule you'll notice you have time for meditation and what not. you'll have time for yourself and your lovely vlogs. I love you lady love. lots of love from India.
Gunjan Dua thank you & sending you love! Yes I think morning people have more quiet time in the mornings... waking early is not my strength! Lol
Lavendaire it's not mine either. I changed a lot of my lifestyle habits after reading your recommended books and I'm sure you can do it to. sleeping early and waking up early is gonna help as in long term as women as well. we have multiple roles to play in our adulthood to play.
instagram.com/bloggersdictionary/ I started this page thanks to you. it's a blogger journal for blogger's and vlogger. thank you for inspiring everyone . we love you.
Gunjan Dua wonderful!
Contemporary and hip hipp dance is just everything.😇✨
