My 2023 Goals include hugging more, slowing down, reducing screen time to read more and enjoy more puzzles and board games, as well as a cash only year. Wishing you the best 2023!
Love the idea of gentle goals. I had decided this year to just do New Years "adjustments." Basically picking things I'm already doing and improve them little by little or pick some things that I need to get back on track with. Then as I start to see more progress I can add brand new goals. Thanks for all you do to help keep us HSP calm and focused!
love the title Vera chose, you're so detail about it.. and one of the most challenging goals I hafta cut down this year, is spending a lot of money in the café, since I'm a coffee addict and I ain't got a coffee machine at home yet ☕😔
Very well crafted video... peaceful, inspiring, positive and constructive..i wish to be conscious about my screen usage and devote few non screen hours everyday
I love yr ideas on gentle goals and slow living. I lost d motivation to exercise I love how u move yr body every other day not for d sake of looking good but to b healthy
☆Sweet Vera, "Happy Fruitful New Year 2023"☆ Indeed your encouraging sharing on gentle goals for the New Year in 2023 will definitely motivate us to hv such heart's desire to hv a good challenging headstart. Thanks so much. Cheers 🥂 👏 👏 🎆 🍀❤️
A great tip for hydration is adding a pinch of Himalayan or Celtic salt (you DONT want it salty!) to your water bottle. It will salinate the water and replace electrolytes. You don’t want to waste all that water by eliminating it in the bathroom all day.
I really like all of the gentle goals. I'm going to work on drinking more water and no phone 30 mins before bed and after waking up. I'm also going to try and work on getting more sleep. I stay up to late then get up early. I really like watching your videos you are so calming.
what brilliant goals you are setting; i love the one about accepting the bad things and being thankful for the good; i am very happy that i already do some of these things; hugging people, telling my hubby and son i love them and paying people compliments; you are right it makes me feel good as well as them; you are definately my favourite you tuber x
Thank you for this thoughtful and light message. It's a great way to start the day and the year. When all the messages are to do all the things, I appreciate the gentle reminder to take a slower, intentional approach.💖
Your ins and outs video was so impactful for me! I started tracking what I was getting rid of on Dec 20, 2022. I didn't include what I was bringing in, but I know it was far less than usual as I was preparing to do a low spend year for 2023. Once I started keeping track of what I was getting rid of, I was motivated to get rid of even more! Since Dec 20, I've gotten rid of over 1,030 items!!!!
I kept an in and out list last year. I was inspired by your bullet journal video (I love your journal videos!) It was such a good tool. It really made me evaluate and help me with handling the physical stuff in my life. I'm doing it again this year and am looking forward to comparing the results.
Hi Vera, I wish you a great 2023 with your family and friends. I love your list, especially the part about hugs, compliments and stopping gossip. Every action we can take to spread compassion is much needed.
Hi vera .I am learning English with your videos.🥰 my goal in this year is I can speak fluency and nice like you😍🙏 and learn english very well. Love you Vera🌻🌹
Hi Vera we are in March and I often come back to this video to remind me to bring some kidness to the world. So thank you for this and keep making your inspirational work 🌸 (Sorry if my english is wrong, I am french 😅)
I love this! I've been feeling overwhelmed looking at and trying to come up with new years goals and resolutions and it's just been stressing me out and none are things I want to commit to. All I came up with was that the theme of this year is "well being." I love these simple slow goals and I'm going to incorporate some!
I love your idea of keeping track of items decluttered and items bought; I plan on doing this in the new year! It never occurred to me to keep track of the items both in and out and I've been practicing minimalism since 2015! I feel like this will hold me more accountable for what I allow to come into my house! Thank you so much!
Right now I’m just trying to establish better boundaries and keeping toxic people off my turf more. Create a more “me” and more private space for myself. I think the most useful one to me will be looking in the mirror and telling myself a nice thing about myself every day or at least reinforcing to myself why I made certain decisions as to increase my self trust and inner resolve. This is prob needed the most Bcuz my default inner critic and toxic people will always be trying to make you second guess yourself and not keep standing your ground with your chosen boundaries. Perhaps by mid year my default will be a lot different if I keep that up.
Happy New Year Vera!! Great message. It's also interesting that most of what you said aligns with Christian beliefs and values. Things like faith, positivity and forgiveness are things that I try to follow through my Christian faith. Thanks for sharing on such matters and the encouragement. I look forward to more uplifting content from you in 2023!☺
Hey Vera! Thanks for sharing your goals with us. Your last one of spend more time in silence resonates most with me. I've already signed up for a silent meditation retreat. And I'm hoping to cultivate a better relationship with myself by spending more time with myself. Hope anyone reading this has a wonderful year!
Hi Vera happy 2023!🎉🌟 Saying/ showing l love you is so important.. Contenment/ thankfulness will be in my focus. Less media more walking and yoga are my priorities. Go with the changes, accept them and see what or where it brings you... 🛣️
So happy to hear that!! 🥰❤️💕 Thanks you Tina. I wish you a Happy New Year and an amazing 2023! 🤗✨🥂🍵 Thank you so much for all your support all this time!
Oh my word! Happy New Year! This spoke to several things I’ve been considering applying to my life! Thank you for your simple ideas on how to live better, as always.
Thank you for creating this inspirational list. I particularly liked the ‘spend more time in silence’ goal. You have inspired me to create a cozy corner in my home with a relaxing chair and aim to start my day there with a cup of tea. Best wishes for the coming year.
I just love❤watching You,It’s so relaxing and I’m learning a lot from You😊….You inspired me on a lot of things.I watch Your blog everyday,and I also told my love ones to watch You,it will also inspire them.Pls keep up the great job You’re doing ,and continue to inspire more people and put smiles in their faces and in their heart❤❤❤because it does to me.Stay well so You can continue to make us happy.
Happy New Year to you too. For me it is time to practice more of the things I learned the last couple of months from your and other videos. So I will take small steps to implement these and ofcourse I will continue decluttering my house. This month I have a month of not spending except for fruit and veggies and finishing of everything that is in my freezer and pantry.
Heart of Kentucky. SIMPLE HAPPY ZEN. Hi beautiful VERA in Pink, in the NETHERLANDS. Happy New Year! I still pray for you and yours to be blessed. VERA, you are a blessing to all of us. I'm going to watch your video twice, because you gave such good advice for 2023. God bless BRAZIL! Katie.
Hello and Happy New Year to you. It was lovely to see this video on the first day of the new year. You always have such a calm gentle vioce and your suggestions are inspiring. Looking forward to seeing your weekly videos. Hugs from the UK. xx
Great tips Vera. I no longer make goals as I used to but aim to do things to live more slowly, intentionally and simply . I have more time to be with the people I love and for solitude. Happy New Year xx 🕯️🌸
Hi, Vera, I relate to many of the items you pointed out. Hug myself is definitely my favourite and I will certainly do it. I also loved the “give one compliment a day”. I’m a bit of an hermit 😊, but I always do that on instagram to the people I follow. I actually agree completely with the social media detox and I only have instagram and I only follow artists, so when I am there I only have positive relationships and comments and feedback. I follow few people and that is so nice, because I have time to comment and interact without spending hours on that. I loved the “tell people you love them”, “stop gossiping” and “say something nice to yourself”😊😊 I spend some time of my day in silence for a few years now and it’s really awesome, in my opinion. You shouldn’t postpone going to the doctor 😉 In Portugal, the national health care system is very good and I never fail or postpone an appointment. It was very important when I had breast cancer. As always, I loved your video. Happy New Year ❤️💛💙💜🖤🧡💚💗♥️
So many great ideas here Vera, I will write down some of these goals and try to practice them this year. A few would be give a hug to someone and myself each day, trying a new activity each month, move my body every other day, track my ins & outs and making appointments and keeping them which I am terrible at. I wanted to pick only 5 that I really need to work on and could benefit from. Have a great 2023 Vera! 🤗
Bliadhna Mhath Ùr (Happy New Year) Hi Vera, I hope that you and your family had a really nice new year and that 2023 is a really good year for you all. Best wishes and lots of love. xx
Happy New Year! A lot of good things to try in this video. I definitely will be doing a journal with goals and ins/outs as I work on continuing to eliminate unnecessary items from our home. I did well in 2022 until the holidays and I got busy as well as bought a few extras for myself that I probably could have done without! 🤣
Happy New Year to you too Flo! Happy you enjoyed the video. :) Wishing you an amazing 2023 and good luck with recording your ins and outs this year! 🤗✨🥂🍵
Morning Vera! Thank you for this video, these ideas really do resonate with me and I look forward to making some of them a priority on my more minimalist and slower lifestyle journey.
Hi, Vera!! Happy New Year!! So nice to see your video today!! Here in Brazil it is a very special moment of freedon from a genocide president! I am so, so happy! You can not imagine!! Good to whatch you in this especial day!!💕✊🏽 (Sorry for any enghish mistake!) Love from 🇧🇷🎉🙌🏽
Bravo, Carol! En Uruguay muchos nos alegramos por el regreso de Lula! Espero que pronto pueda comenzar a reparar tanta injusticia y corrupción. Brasil merece lo mejor. Un abrazo 🙋🏻♀️
Wonderful list. I truly value #23. I don't take my phone on my morning walks and it gets turned off and goes into my desk drawer one hour before heading off to bed.
Happy New Year Vera. Thank you for a new way of starting fresh in the new year. They were all great goals. I'm always giving hugs and telling people I love them but I need to be more loving to myself.❤
Thank you for the idea of saying something nice to myself every day. Love that. My new ideas for this year are to keep up with the dishes every night & to walk my dog more often. ❤
Happy New Year Vera. My goal for 2023 is to declutter all of my life,both physically and mentally. This has been encouraged and inspired by your ebook, which I have found so helpful. May I say how glad I am to have found your channel and how your calming voice and great advice is helping me to turn my life around. Thank you.
Aw thank you so much for your kind message! So happy my decluttering ebook and channel have been helpful for you. Wishing you all the best for 2023 and good luck with your decluttering goals! 🤗✨🎉
Hi Vera. How are you ? Wish you a very HAPPY NEW YEAR... Great video. Appreciate message. Very simple and gentle suggestions. No need to think again. Thanks a lot for overall support.... Enjoy moments 🎉🎉
Your tips for decluttering really resonated with me too and I spent the last few days doing a big declutter. It feels so much better- thank you! I had also already decided to do a social media detox but I chose three months, just to really detox. I find that most of what I see in terms of ads and news on there is massively negative and it had a terrible impact on my mental health the last few years. Happy New Year, Vera! ❤ From Kansas USA
Thanks so much for sharing! So happy to hear that decluttering is helping you :) Also, I'm excited for your social media detox! I think it's great that you're committed like that :) Happy New Year to you too, wishing you an amazing 2023! 🤗✨🥂🍵
