as someone who’s in college, i want you to know that your HS routine doesn’t have to be perfect. routine changes as our lives change, so it’s okay if you find certain habits as you grow older no longer fit perfectly into your life anymore. things happen- we get sick, we have a rough midterms week, a family emergency comes up. it’s okay to not improve 1% every single day.
i just wanna see you be happy and grow into the person you wanna be, but not burn yourself out so young. proud of you for striving to make positive changes in your life, but be mindful of perfectionism seeping in💜
this!!
Wow do I need this series. I’m notorious for not being consistent and I want to level up this year. I’m excited to grow with you ☺️
That makes two of us
I see u everywhere
lol 😂
Bro you are everywhere 🙀
I’ve been watching u for over a yr now and I feel like you’re too fixated on having a ‘perfect routine’ that it’s stressful when for u when u fall off track. You don’t need to have a perfect routine. Be easier on yourself and do what makes you happy not what you think is supposed to❤️
remember harmony over balance. it is great to be consistent but don't feel bad if by taking an opportunity it messes up ur schedule a bit. just make sure everything harmonizes. by harmonizes I mean you are happy and doing what you need to do. and it is okay to have some mess in your life. thats fun and a a part of life. love this series just wanted to remind you guys out there you don't need to have everything perfectly balanced. ily
THIS is the series i need Annie, I love how youre focused on building your character and not just focusing on your body or your productivity levels. I’m so excited for this!!
THANK U bridget!
hey I think this series is so cool and is super inspiring! 2 things coming from someone almost graduating college: I'm also a person who loves to constantly self-improve but improvement isn't linear and there are times when we sometimes move backwards. My therapist phrased it as "training our brain" and the more we do something the more consistent we will be, but there will be days where it's harder than others and that's just part of the process!
also, while I agree it's not selfish to take time for yourself and not always be available to respond to texts 24/7, it can be hurtful when I am excited to text a friend something and hours and hours, even days, go by without hearing back. Yes everyone has their own lives going on but friendship is also valuable in our journey to self-discovery and we shouldn't take them for granted. I feel like it would be useful to dedicate a few times per day to just check up on our friends. Even just saying "Hey just so you know I'm disconnecting for awhile, if you don't hear back from me that's why".
i completely agree with you and thats actually a really smart idea. if you just leave someone hanging it can give them the wrong idea, and when you finally show up without any explanation as to why you took so long it can be very hurtful. setting a time to communicate with people you love sounds genius bc they are supposed to be priorities anyway!
Don’t stress yourself out too much! I undertook you completely. Please understand that progress is not always linear.
When you said you had breakdowns bc of math I felt that 😅 I basically coasted through high school then in college when I had to learn coding every assignment would make me cry. I’m in one class like that rn and it didn’t make me cry yesterday so I think that’s progress 😀
Seperate your day into quarters. In a game, just because you underperform in one quarter doesn't mean you underperform the other 3. You still have a game to win.
for example:
mornings (5am-9am)
late morning (10am-12pm)
afternoon/evening(1pm-7pm)
night(8pm +++)
I love how mature this girl is for her age. I am 21 and I relate to her so much! Love this channel sis.
I don’t typically write comments on videos, but for this one one I couldn’t not write a comment. I relate to this video so much to the point where it also freaks me a out a bit. Nonetheless, I am also a sophomore dealing with almost the similar kind of things in my life too. This video was have been an extremely helpful and opening to me. - I try to be a better person then I was yesterday everyday and attempt to progress in character development in various parts of my life as well. It’s been a roller coaster and a shaky one at that, but I’m taking it slow and this video has truly bumped my steps, so I am truly excited for more of this series and excited to see how I grow in my daily life 😌.
Reminder: You don't need to improve 1% every day. That's a lot of pressure. Instead, take it day by day
I always feel the pressure to get the best grades, but I burned out when I did. Now I score ´less high´ on tests but I improved my character a lot. I definitely have more of a personality when I stopped stressing about perfection. Soo my point is: better to take it day by day and do what works for you than strive to be better every day :) (this is obviously an opinion so don't be mad if you disagree)
@@michelleblom5767 i totally agree. To a degree, i think it isn't healthy to strive for improvement EVERY day. Especially when you become disappointed any time you haven't achieved your goals. It is okay not to have the highest grade, it is okay to not work out every day, and it is OKAY to not be productive every day.
@@michelleblom5767 how did you get out of this burn out situation ? I’m curious because I feel like I’m near a burn out
@@itsbierce Well that is actually a pretty....painful story so trigger warnings!! IIt went from a burn out to depression and suicidal thoughts. I was in a really bad place and I needed to slow down (I got obligated treatment 2 times a week) But slowly i recovered and i realised that mental health and wanting to live a life that I loved was more important to me than being ´perfect´ and achieving high grades.
@@michelleblom5767 thank you for telling your story 👏🏻💖
pls remember that regardless of what u do or how u behave, u are enough as is. the Annie that is right now is more than enough and you don't have to do anything to prove your worth, I feel like you seem so hard on yourself your only human! Don't attack yourself for not being ur best self, whatever u feel capable of doing is ur best self! ur incredible!
As being a runner myself, I’m proud very proud of you for getting your one friend to help you and push you, as a runner myself it has helped me to get others to push me and that’s what helped me to then push myself. So keep it up girl your doing amazing! Lmk if you ever need any running tips or anything!
soo excited for this series, annie! the editing is immaculate and the vibes are soo aesthetically pleasing and relaxing, i love it!💞✨
I'm 18 years old and to be honest I am really shocked how mature you are. You are soooo consistent with better version of you and you are aware of many things and you're trying your best to level up. I'm impressed and I hope that I could be also in half as mature as you. Thank you for that video and I hope I can grow up with u💓
It’s so empowering to hear life being spoken to you, and have it break through the monotony of doubt and anxious thoughts. We are all human and feel things we don’t want to feel, have our voice in our head say things we don’t want to hear, but Annie had such a powerful gentleness in the way she speaks that eases what I’m going through and allows me to accept a new, positive perspective. God bless you girly and I enjoy watching you do what you do, as I also get on my grind and improve one step at a time :)
I’m currently 17 and I’ve been watching your videos for so long..but this series! Now this series is you. It’s so beautiful ahh I’m so excited to watch the rest of them
I love that she’s making a video for more mental discipline instead of being like everyone else to physically change and physically discipline theirselves.💙 with this video it’s a push of content in the right direction because in such a world I know their needs to be more mental discipline
sunday mornings w annie>>>>>
I love ALL of your videos, but idk something about this one and your narration on life is so beautiful. You inspire me so much with my youtube channel and just life in general.
I feel like you snoozing the alarm so often is literally your body telling you that it
1. needs a little more sleep
or
2. it’s set in the middle of a sleep cycle and that makes it hard for you to wake up
Don’t be hard on yourself but instead either try going to bed even earlier or calculate your sleep cycles, sometimes 15 minutes can make all the difference.
Okay but I am so grateful that I found Annie's UA-cam channel because I have learned so much for her this past year!
Raise your hand if you’re so proud of Annie for prioritizing her faith & being a girl boss!! (I’m raising my hand hehe!!) 💖
Honestly I just wanted to thank you for sharing your journey. I'm the same age as you and I really feel lonely in the sense that I'm not surrounded by friends with the same motivation/goals in life. But seing your videos on your channel really helps me and reminds me that I'm not alone ❤
Well spoken~ 2 words to describe this vlog ‘inspirational’ and ‘motivational’
Thank you for this motivational and inspiring series, Annie! As a high schooler, I want to level up and keep track of my progress through the year. Hopefully next year, I’ll be more productive to study and not get distracted as much, lol.
My mom always brings negativity to this house and, I couldn’t study because I have a massive anxiety attack. I’m crossing my fingers to study in a calm & peaceful place where I could focus on my studies.
@@AestheticAutumn Aw yeah, I get you I also don’t always have the best relationship w my parents, just misunderstanding and things like that- but we got this !
Honestly Annie you should have your own podcast like for real 💕🫶🏽
i don’t know who needs to hear this but a self-improvement journey-like any other journey- is not always linear! so there will be ups and downs but know you’ll achieve ur goal eventually!!
Hi Annie! I'm such a big fan! You've really motivated me to improve my lifestyle these past few months! ❤️❤️❤️
Duuudeeeeeee thank you so much for sharing this I deal with manny of the things you spoke of I had been praying to Hod for help and you said it better than I could have ever described, you have a way of put things into words that just work so well thank you so much, peace be with you
*God
What you said about outspokeness resonated so much with me! Remember, progress is not linear. You can do this and you will!
Love how open you're about everything!!
Keep growing and glowing 🙌🏼💗
hi annie! when you were discussing your outspokenness, it really resonated with me. idk if outspokenness is the right word for what i do bc i'm generally quite introverted/antisocial, but i relate to feeling like i'm revealing too much of my more... eccentric? sense of humor to people i barely know instead of keeping it reserved for the people i'm closest to. idk, i just wanted to say thanks for putting it into words bc it sorta made me feel like i'm not alone haha
i'm so excited for this series! you're my favourite influencer and you inspire me so much!! I'm 14, and I have similar goals to you. thankyou so much for making these videos annie 💗💗
Giiiirl I relate to you so much, you have no idea how much you're helping me :)))) I'm so glad that you share your journey with us!!!
My comfort UA-camr! I am so excited for this
oh annie i love this i know it will be my favorite thing i watch everytime you post
The freshman one I can relate. I’m in the end of my freshmen year and it’s been very hectic. This has been the year where I had figured out all my mental health problems and now I’m trying to figure out how to build my self improvement and become more happy with myself. I hope everyone can watch this video and get the information you need to start your journey and it being successful. ❤️😉
annie, youre doing a great job, pls dont be hard on yourself
This is exactly the series I need :) thanks annieeee
I've never resonated more with anything. This was such a powerful video!!
I needed this you don't know she is like my constant inspiration 😭
you’re doing great, Annie!
Thank you Annie! xox I know what you mean about feeling selfish at times. Sometimes we just have to be willing to sacrifice our own pleasures/routine/energy for the sake of helping others. :)
Keep making the inspirational videos. I enjoy watching them xx
lovee the concept of improving 1% everyday💗
Girl thank you so much for this series. I love your youtube channel and makes me want to be the best me.

we neeeddd a podcast from u oooommggg
hi annie, your videos are extremely inspiring. as a young female, i feel like my productivity has gone up several notches. i know you said that these lines make you cringe but i just wanted to share that with you.
I kid you not, I was waiting for Annie's video for daysss
You really inspire me you have no idea✨🌷
Annie,one thing to ask,in your free workshop you have talked about stages of self improvement.Can you please tell me how can I level up from stage 2 to stage 3?
Good morning Annie happy Saturday morning and I just wanted to say that your workout morning routine is absolutely amazing and you are amazing Supporter I'm proud of you
Honestly your videos have helped me so much! Bless go on
I am very admired with the determination you put in sticking to the habits you’ve set, because I think that self improvement is also about getting to know yourself , which is probably the most fascinating and important journey ever. However I also think that you should avoid strictly programming every single aspect of your life, especially when it comes to personal relationships (with both friends and boyfriends) because I think that requires more spontaneity. I think you could treat those kind of human relationships in a more natural and less set way. Also I give you advice from my personal experience; I used to try and control every single aspect of my life, altering and manipulating it to try and make the most perfect possible, to try and turn it the way I though was the most noble , effective and useful; the truth is, though, not everything in life necessarily has to be meaningful or useful; sometimes you just have to relax, enjoy boredom and rest and let things come to you more naturally. If you try to programme it all, in the end you’re going to lose your ability to just act genuinely
i totally understand what ur saying and i’ve never related to something more
Thankyou so much for applying yourself and expressing yourself. Wow I cannot believe you are only 15, I hope one day my daughters have the goals and self awareness that you have at 15
this is the series alivia d’andra failed at im so glad that someone else is gonna accomplish it
i thought about that but be careful, i think annie might be veering off a little bit
@@xxursolovelyxxX veering off like in a bad way? bc with alivia she started to promote unhealthy methods to lose weight
@@genlove5494 I don't mean that Annie is going off that way but maybe that she's becoming a tad bit too analytical and might start promoting living life like its a calculation. In her most recent video she talks about friendships and basically says she'll distance herself from friends if they aren't "self-improving" the way she is and it just seems like a dangerous way to think...
@@xxursolovelyxxX ohhh yah i noticed that everything on her channel had become very self focused and it kind feels like she’s not getting to experience her teenage years bc of it
@@genlove5494 im not saying surround yourself with people who are the opposite of everything you stand for but in being so judgy and analytical of other people she could harm her viewers and herself - you have to find a balance between improving and REALLY living and cutting off people who aren't working out every single day, aren't excelling in school and dont drink protein shakes sounds off to me - but i digress, i could be very wrong
annie what were the podcasts you were talking about in the video/ what podcasts do you love and recommend to other teen girls on their self improvement journey?
The reason why you had problems staying constistent is because your goals are to high. Working out every day? Better make it 4 times a week, and see how much easier it is to be consistent.
You also wouldn't struggle with snoozing in the morning if you woke up later etc.
I can’t believe you’re 15 you speak so well that I bet you’re amazing at essays
been crying all day and night u help me
Your videos are so inspirational! I recently got Notion for school and I love it! I have little widgets that tell me when my next exams are. You are a wonderful person and I hope you have a good day!
Is notion free?
@@moonwalker.v yess it is! that's what's so great about it
@@moonwalker.v yes
So excited for the next episode
hi everyoneee, i’ve just been having a bad time with skl (im practically failing cus of personal problems lol), so i don’t think i’ll do very well in my exams. i don’t really want to go to university anyway, but this means even if i did i wouldn’t get into a good one. i just need someone to tell me my life isn’t over and i can still be my best self even if i go down a different path than what my family expects. this was rlly hard to write but if anyone sees this pls say something lol
Heyyyy honestly... IT'S OKAY I've got exams too and trust me it's okay you are doing your best and you WILL do your best whatever that maybe and it'll be amazing!! Get through what you're going through and come out the other side stronger, you got this friend, fellow student rooting for ya 💕💕💕✨✨
trust me bro, your life is FARR from over. I'm assuming you're still in your teens and bro, you got your whole life ahead of you. Some people don't start living the life they want until they're like 50, and that isn't a bad thing! I've heard stories from many adults about how they took so many different paths in life and how they're still doing good. As long as you try your best and make the most out of every opportunity that comes your way, you'll be alright.
Thank you!1 I have been watching ur videos for a while and u have always helped me
