@gk2011 3 года назад

Just wanted to come here at the end of 2020 to say thank you. I was never a huge "new years goal" person because it always felt like as soon as I stopped it would just spiral into depression(Which it had before and I just ended). I didn't really write down "goals" or "ideas" for 2020 for a theme I just kind of kept it in the back of my mind. My Theme ended up being "Hobbies" for the most part. I got into quite a lot this year including DnD, Terrain building, world building, and a few other things that really got me enjoying stuff. I'm looking forward to 2021 and continuing a lot of what I was doing in 2020. The theming really helped allow me to try out lots of stuff without it just feeling like I failed a goal especially with the Pandemic making a lot of stuff feel less worth it terrain building being an example for in person game nights. I haven't really picked something for 2021 yet but have a few ideas of what I want to work on. If there is one thing on the internet that really helped this year it was this 6 minute and 23 second video. I hope you have a great 2021.

I struggled with depression/social anxiety/suicidal thoughts for five years and under the influence of this video (and also stoicism) i dedicated the past 6 months to theme 'mental health'. I postponed some parts of my college degree, started a new hobby, took part to some physical challenges (obstacle run), went on a hiking holliday with new people and a whole lot more. It was hard and challenging but i made massive progression and i am now more self confident, happy and courage. Thank you cpc grey!

As someone who’s been fighting the mental illness battle for forever, having the vague theme makes it much easier to find motivation to do anything.

I was going to address spending an entire year improving only one aspect of yourself doesn’t seem very productive. Seasonal themes seem like a fantastic idea both in terms of productive change and avoiding burnout. You could even have a yearly or biyearly theme routine or have certain re-occurring themes apply to certain seasons. For example having “fitness season” during the summer where it’s easier to go outside and there’s more sunlight or “reading season” while we spend more time indoors during the winter.

The one thing I realised over many years, you have to WANT to do something, and do not set a goal. I always said to myself, I want to do more workout and I have to do this and that. But after one or two days or weeks I always quitted slowly but surely. But then once I had a really bad health condition after lockdown, and I decided I will try running, at least just once a week. And after trying that out, I absolutely fell in love with running in the morning. And since I was flexible with myself, didn't set up a bar how many and when, I actually do it for at least 2 months now. And I also increased the number of 3 times a week, because I really do like it. Since that my health improved and it really became a routine, and the only thing I had to do is just find a better way I love to do.

@Zephyr_197 2 года назад

It's currently mid December 2021, my theme for this year was year of me, I'd been in a really bad place for the past few years and not every one around me was around me, for me, so this past year I've been trying to be better, for myself, and the people around me, I'm still not exactly stable, but I'm in a better place than I was in January, and I think I'm ready for 2022: the year of people. I want to try help some of my friends who I know are struggling with things I have, meet new people who could go on to become amazing friends, and maybe learn a few things along the way. Basically, thank you Grey, your videos have made me a better person and you have no idea how grateful I am because of that.

It took me a year to get around to it, but 2021 has been my "Year of Improvement". And honestly, I've improved. I'm more fit, I'm eating better, my drawings are a little better, and I actually got a job I can put on my resume. Overall, it's only September, but I can see a definite change, and I'm happy with it.

Thank you, CGP Grey. I read many books as a kid and I was convinced that reading books on paper is "the only way" it should be done... And then I carried that thought into adulthood and stopped reading at all, because I had problems with staying focused, finding the time etc. I felt so much guilt. I watched this video many times and somehow the idea of "maybe listening-reading is the way to go" got stuck in my head so much that I caved in and tried. Audiobooks are amazing, I found my way to books! Thank you.

@lemonlemon8272 2 года назад

So I watched this video a year ago and decided that my 2021 theme would be health. I actually totally forgot about that but apparently my brain stored it somewhere 'cause I actually did a lot to stay health this year. I finally started to go to a gym and lost weight so I am not overweight and at risk of obesity associated diseases anymore. Also my mental health became a way better. It was actually a long and unpredictable journey. Yesterday I realized that I did it that far because I chose a theme for my year and stopped being like 'I totally will go to a gym next month and start following diet tomorrow'.

This video helped me a lot this year. Looking back on where i started, i dropped out of college as an obese 19 year old who had no idea what he’d do with his life. Once i decided on the military i knew i had to lose weight. Instead of doing strict diets or setting a “I will weigh this weight by the end of the year” i decided to try the “Season/year of health” thing and it really worked well for me. I thought about my choices more, all at the same time working on getting my enlistment set up. 5 months and 30 pounds later i’m about to join the military and already in the best shape of my life. I’m not a mega-athlete now, but i can confidently say i’ll be middle-of-the pack once i get to boot camp, when mere months ago i firmly believed i’d never be able to keep up.

@atlow2543 4 года назад

Don't use that as an excuse to slack off. If you never hit any targets then you're still failing. The idea of themes is to make things easier for you, but many things you want/need in life don't come so easily that you can just nonchalantly walk towards them-- sometimes you have to work hard. Grey's idea of themes is a good start, but really you should focus on moving from themes to systems and you should still set targets within those systems-- but they should be more stoic of goals. So instead of focusing on output, they focus on input. It's not 'read ten books in a season' but rather 'spend at least 20 minutes reading every day that you can'. That way you're still pushing yourself every day, but if you miscalculated or can't do it for reasons outside your control, it doesn't completely throw you off your resolution/objective.

@atlow2543 4 года назад

Between finding online courses that teach me through practical methods, your videos to tell me I CAN do better, and the determination to make something worthwhile I push on. I learnt to code and yesterday I created something functional, not by itself, I now need to build the things for it to function in. but that step of wanting something and then seeing that thing made in front of me by my own hands was a huge achevement. I couldn't have done it without myself and I wouldn't have known that without you. thank you.
