I completely understand what you are saying about waiting at least 24 hours to respond to an issue. I was always told to “respond” to a situation by waiting at least 24 hours, rather than to “react” to the situation in the heat of the moment where you may say things you will later regret. Love your channel and keep up the amazing and inspiring videos! 💕
My mom and I always say, “The more you know, the more you know you don’t know!” Lol... Truly understand your comment about being open minded and am infuriated about the lack of it as well!!
I recently got into doing Yoga, mainly because I have a chronic illness that makes things hard, and following yoga on my laptop or tv is much easier for me.
Do you actually like doing it? Some of my doctors said that I should try Yoga, because I can't do other work outs, but I'm scared to go to a class because of my anxiety. Do you follow lessons on RU-vid? Could you please recommend something?
I must admit it is hard. Not as easy as people make it look. I follow Yoga With Adriene (ru-vid.com/show-UCFKE7WVJfvaHW5q283SxchA) and also use my WiiFit which tracks my centre of gravity and tells how I am doing in the privacy of my lounge room. I love following youtube lessons as well but just be careful what you do. I love Yoga With Adriene because she also does videos on yoga for back pain which is something I have to deal with, so yeah, go check her out.
Brenda Charles Yes of course, it's a channel called Yoga with aidriene . She's amazing and I feel so flexible and relaxed after each one...give it a try 😚
I love the fact that you focus on making positive changes to be happier and healthier. Thank you for sending such a lovely and uplifting message! You are both gorgeous on the inside and outside Niomi
You're so right about loving your workout! I feel like so many people think they have to do one specific type of workout and don't consider how many different ways there are to move. For me, bike riding, skating, and doing yoga are the most sustainable ways to exercise because I love doing them!
I was having a walk and right before finishing it you uploaded and I was like let’s add 16 more minutes of walking. You truely made me feel better and better lots of love ❤️❤️
I love your positive approach to everything! I was so inspired when you ran the marathon and would definitely love to set my own fitness challenge this year! 🙌
No kidding: one of my new years resolutions is to be more like you. Not as in: completely copying you and changing myself into someone else, but as in: living a healthy, positive life that's going to benefit me in the future. Love you so much Niomi. Happy new year! xxx
Dear Niomi, You are such an inspiration to so many young, but also grown, girls, just like me. You give me the energy I lacked in the last few months and you also give me the courage to fight for the things I want and love. I just wanted to tell you how great you are and what a beautiful human being you are. On the outside but especially on the inside. Your beauty shines from within and you should be proud of yourself and your kind heart. Love, from the Netherlands.
Whenever am down or hopeless... I know what to do Watch one of your videos and I always feel better 💜💜 Thx so much for always being positive and amazing! Love you so much!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
You're a lovely girl Niomi, your hair and makeup look so nice in this video. Lots of good info here. I remembered you saying in another video that if someone upsets you on a text or something always wait 24 hours before you respond. Most arguments aren't worth having, much nicer to be forgiving if someone's said the wrong thing and probably didn't mean it anyway, life's too short to waste time falling out and stressing yourself. Love your video 😄 x
Your positivity, kindness, and light radiates out of your whole soul. I think we have a lot in common, but you always inspire me to be kinder and more relaxed. Thank you as always for a lovely video! I received your cookbook for Christmas and I am so excited :)
Rewatching this even though New Year is still 2 weeks away because you are my role model Niomi! I look up to you so much 😊 love your positivity and tips on excellence!
Seriously, this has been the greatest video I've seen in a while. Thanks for being you, Niomi. You've really encouraged and inspired me to work hard and achieve my dreams!
I’m sure you won’t care BUT I wanted to say after watching this video I’ve signed up to a beginners pilates class. I’ve been saying for two years I’ll do yoga etc but this is the first time I’ve actually booked it.
Omg Naomi the second one is honestly ME!! Ahhh but for me it's the overthinking and just contradicting myself and I'm so hard on myself, I need to relax more and remember to just breathe sometimes❤️ and #5 I love the fitness challenge idea!!
Niomi I can honestly say this is by far your best post. You make so many insightful and relevant points here and speak far wiser than your years. So fantastic to have you as such a positive role model! Thank you!
Hey Niomi, I don't normally comment on youtube videos but just wanted to say I really enjoyed the vibe of this video. I'm currently in the process of recovery from mental illness and also becoming healthier/losing weight and loved so many of the tips here! Do you enjoy swimming? As someone with dyspraxia and hypersensitivity issues swimming is defo the workout for me, plus its really relaxing! Have also had a big clear out of my whole bedroom and started getting into home cooking and ethical shopping. These small changes helped me to finally finish my MA and am now starting out on a career path. Sorry for the long message, but the mixture of self-motivation and self-compassion in your message really reinforced everything I've been trying to do the last few months!
This is hands down, the best "new resolution" video I've seen so far. SO many great points, very well explained. "Be open minded. We need to learn to be open to other peoples opinions and beliefs and less judgmental. Narrow minded people are often so ignorant. The less you know, sometimes, the more you think you know. The more you know the less you think you know." You are brilliant Niomi, I absolutely loved it. Thank you so much for sharing it is very helpful and inspiring.
I did a degree over 10yrs ago now and thought 'oh god, I never want to study ever again it's so much stress.' but now I have enrolled again in a postgraduate course with a new passion and direction and I have marked 2018 as my year to finish things! I am a cereal procrastinator for life but I am going to do it and kill it!
Love the positivity approach to this instead of "resolutions". Definitely putting fitness as my goals, also want to ask what gym bag do you use? Thanks and happy 2018!
You look beautiful and your hair looks stunning! I'm finally going to take steps to start learning to play guitar this year as I've put it off for so long in the fear I'll fail at it but I'm going to stay positive and keep going at it! 😊 💖💜💖
I've been subscribed to you for a while but I feel like I've started to really connect with your videos this past few months. Every single video has resonated with me and has inspired me to really take charge of my own life. I'm ready for all of the positive vibes 2018 has to offer me and I send some your way!
This video has inspired me to be productive as I have my GCSE's in May and completely freaking out but this video, although exams weren't mentioned, really got me thinking of how I could make the most of this year to help me succeed, thank you. Xx
You're such an inspiration for me! Always so positive and happy! I'm struggeling with some mental issues right now and i just get so much positive energie by just watching you're video's :) I follow you're video's since vlogmas 2017 but allready a big fan! Thanks for everything so far :) :) Can't wait for the next video.. Big hug from you're neighbour country, the Netherlands
One of my new year resolutions is to get your, "Eat Smart" book and start including more fun veggie recipes and not eat so much meat or at least have them as side dishes. and to also get healthier snacks such as hummus and veggies. Thank you for the inspiration!
Hey Niomi, I’m in the US, so unfortunately I can’t order SourcedBox. What things should I be looking out for (both negative and positive) on labels when shopping for healthy snacks?
Hmmn didn't really enjoy the video where it would cut from you talking to a slow mo of you smiling etc felt a bit weird to watch. other than that, great video with good content.
I absolutely loved this video 💕 you are such an inspiration and an incredible role model for younger people 💕 i am vegetarian since eight years and mainly cook vegan. I recently bought your cook book. I’m obsessed 💕 hope all your wishes for 2018 come true 💕 love you 💕
You are precious Niomi! Always a sweet positive vibe which we all need!! Your hard work shows in all your videos. Btw-your hair looks amazing today!! 💕💕
So awesome Niomi! I will try to accomplish all these things with you. 👏 I (nearly) completed your 10 Things in December List (can't be sure about the steps since I don't have a fitbit or a smartwatch) and found it so motivational! My goal for this spring is to finish my bachelor thesis, find a master program I like and start that. I also want to get properly back into pole fitness (dancing): I started it with great enthusiasm but then stopped for various reasons, and I truly miss it. My motto for 2018 is: don't be an asshole. Often, when we follow our dreams, we forget about others and we can't let that happen! Because what is success if you have noone to share it with? Happy and Healthy New Year ❤
Marie Bach I recommend Moves. It’s a free app that lets you track steps, running, bike riding and general transport. It’s not 100% accurate, but definitely better than nothing!
Anelly Chapina I don't take my phone with me when I go running or grocery shopping, so that would be pointless. ;) I just try and be as active as I can while being a uni student. :)
Honestly love this video, and the messages and spirit you have- it's so wonderful to listen to you, and I love how real and down to earth you are!! Here's to a great 2018 Niomi
"Snacking company" is really one of those word combinations that are just so funny to hear. Also, it is insanely cool to be able to say "Sourced box is just this company that I have on the side". An inspiration to many people in our generation, who have so many opportunities to follow their dreams and build their own life from scratch! :)
This is such a wonderful video! :) Thank you for being such an inspiration. This might sound weird, but you have a very nice way of speaking and putting things!
This is such an inspiring video! I totally agree with Niomi that we should focus more on the positive things rather than the negative. I definetely think more people should do that about other things in this world as well
