These are great reminders about the all or nothing mindset! I was sick for the first week of the new year and it was so disappointing because I couldn't do my morning routine at all but I just reminded myself that it didn't matter, I could just pick it back up in the second week of January instead! It was more important to rest and get better than to push myself to do more than I could. 💖
i love your realistic approach with setting + working towards goals. slow and steady definitely wins the race and helps you create a better lifestyle! also side note, in one of your videos you mentioned that when you have work tasks that will only take you a few minutes to do, you do it right then instead of adding to your to do list. that has been the biggest game changer for me as a work from home girly who always has a million tasks to do!!!
Everyone is different. I’m always overwhelming myself with tasks and habits, the less habits you have the easier and longer you will stick to them (that’s what I have noticed) but everyone is different❤You have done amazing, a great start to 2023! You have motivated me to keep going as difficult as it is😁
Resonated with everything you said! Also I definitely agree with sustainable goals. Building new goals and habits is a marathon, not a sprint. Thanks for the reminder Carter!
Your honest content has inspired me to create a realistic routine and habits that I'm doing really well at keeping consistent so far. I also highly recommend doing your own nails, I love it! Its very creative and relaxing, plus it saves me some money! I love trying new techniques each time. I still support my local salon and get my nails done there 2-3 times a year for special occasions and it feels like a real treat that I appreciate even more!
Connect with nature could be a goal & a walk in the forest one of the ways. There are lots of studies that show that show improvements in well-being by getting outdoors.
You speak a mile a minute and to be honest… I love it! Lol. I thought it was just me 😂. No idea how I found your channel but it was perfect timing for the new year and your already holding me accountable!
Great video Carter! You’re so right, a lot of RU-vidrs get caught up in the routines and not the day to day minutiae! What games were you and Matt playing in the evening? That’s such a good idea instead of watching TV or scrolling together 🤦♀️
I really love your view on goals and how to go through them, it feels like a much lighter and doable approach without being overwhelming. So thank you for sharing! 🥰 Also want to know, where your notebook/to-do where you've written the 'get it done in january' is from? Thank you 😊
With goals I always think half of it goes into having systems in place that make them achievable ...life is chaotic so the focus will be lost..even health is typically put on the backburner but if the system assures it you have an easier time hitting them .. like for instance the walkability of a city having a generally good effect on the health of the city .. now downsize this to your own surrounding
Resonate so much with 3-4 habits being sustainable for me although I wish I could keep up with more! Thank you for that POV and for being so relatable! Also please share where your rings are from towards the end of the video 🤩
20:40 this hit hard. I took a whole week off work to declutter my apartment and I was beating myself up this morning (I go back to work tomorrow) for not doing enough. Even though my initial goal was to get ONE specific room in order. Most people have a catch-all drawer…we created a catch-all ROOM. our spare room was so filled to the brim with absolute GARBAGE!!! I cleaned it out, plus our kitchen cabinets, plus our counters, plus got rid of half my clothes that I don’t wear or don’t fit, and a plethora of other things. And I STILL was telling myself I didn’t do enough!! Rome was not built in a day, OR a week. It takes time. Thank you!
Yes, slow and steady for new goals/intentions. 🥰 I also have a list on my Notion of things I want to get done around my apartment. It makes me feel even more organized going into 2023 and I can’t wait to get started on it. I already did one or two quick things and it feels great. 😁
Love this! I’ve been doing my nails for a long time and it is my self care. I take my time and watch a movie while I do it and everything! I love listening to your body and respecting what you’re feeling. ❤
Carter you have done it again with another great video! I definitely relate to this so much! I’m happy that I found someone that enjoys doing things at a slowed pace and chills on the weekends! The last 2 years have been very busy. My boyfriend was diagnosed with a brain tumor. However, things are getting better and this year I would love for a slower paced life and a HEALTHY 2023 ! Thank you 😊 💗
Love your goal organization in Notion, maybe I missed it but did you share the template with us? If not, any interest sharing with your adoring followers?? ☺️
You have been crushing it with these videos, Carter! You’re relatable, reasonable, and just so enjoyable to watch. Thank you for these - I always look forward to them 🤍
Carter, love all your videos but especially this one! It was so motivating and inspiring. You’re right, it’s unlike any other videos we’ve seen when it comes to goal setting. Thank you! 🤍
YUP SAME! And it always results in me ending up in a reading slump so my goal for this year is to finish LESS books. If I don't it, it's OK to not finish it!
What a helpful and realistic video!!! Definitely if you want to film another one like this where you're just working on your goals/regular life, would for sure watch it! Thanks so much for making these videos to help motivate us but also "spend time" with you like a friend 💜😊
Thank you for the video! I always tend to compare myself with others and feel like a failure when I'm not doing more. I have to stop continuously and tell myself worry about you not others. It's hard but I can only try lol. Have a great week! 💛
Great video Carter! I too like to get the one and done goals out of the way to stay motivated. Thank you for reminding us that it’s ok to add/remove goals along the way. I tend to see it as a failure and/or think I can’t stick to my goals but in reality Life changes and so do our goals. It’s ok as long as we keep going ❤
Hey! Carter I was eagerly eagerly waiting for this vlog and I love your vlogs so so much you are my inspiration and I wish you reach 90K Subscribers very very soon!💕✨☺️
Hi Carter happy Sunday afternoon and I hope you having amazing day today and I loved your vlogs and happy new year to you and your loved ones and I hope that 2023 brings you a lot of love and happiness
I also want to tackle the gym right away. I stopped going to Pilates in early September because I accidentally saved the worst classes for my last semester of college… it totally effed me up. I had NO time for absolutely anything other than tidying and classes. 2022 was the first year I was consistent in the gym, even tho I’ve been saying I would be since I was 15. That WILL BE the first habit I tackle. Went back to Pilates for the first time last weekend! Missed this week bc I was decluttering but gosh I feel the difference. I feel so much better being consistent
It would be fun to be involved more in your actual work but guess such is classified. How you deal with collegues maybe? I understand filing is important and all. Maybe those systems are supereffective??
I don't really vlog much of my corporate 9-5 job as I really enjoy having a separate thing from social media! But I can talk more about my own business like this video! I was doing filing for my own business not my corporate job!
LOVED this vid. watched it 3 times whilst i was doing my own chores etc and it helped so much, it almost felt like I had you irl giving me the inspo to keep going. ly🫶
