It looks like everyone is trying to get their life's back together and I'm hear for it!

There's a quote I want everyone to have: "Executive dysfunction and perfectionism don't mix." You should be incredibly proud of yourself for identifying what has put you in a slump and the planning you've attempted to go through. Life is a series of trials and errors. Just like in chemistry, making microscopic adjustments will help you find the best formula. It's okay to move slowly: don't put the expectation on yourself to always go above and beyond

I like to think of adulting as re-parenting the cranky toddler that's still hiding deep down. It helps me to remember to be gentle with myself, because in reality I'm in the toddler stage of adulting at 22... no one REALLY knows what they're doing, and time runs out so fast. It's not worth it to beat myself up over the bad days (trust me, easier said than done!), because it's so important to realize that the bad days are part of the journey too. I want to LIVE my life, not look back on a life of regret. We got this! None of us are alone in this crazy thing called life, and you just gave us all a great reminder to take it day by day and be kind with yourself in the process. Thank you for sharing your journey with us!

I appreciate how raw you are and show the hard process of being disciplined and consistent. You are not alone in this.

"taking advantage of my own grace" is SO real

I know it’s minuscule compared to what you’re doing, but I’ve really been needing to paint my toenails and do my fingernails for a long time now. So I popped this video on, and I finally did them. Thank you Hannah. You’re appreciated. You’re a real one.

I needed this video so bad, I've been feeling the same way for quite a while now and to know that I'm not the only one feeling this way is highly comforting. Never clicked on a video this quick!

Wanting to just stay comfortable is so difficult, I totally get what you mean. It is very hard to push yourself and make yourself UNcomfortable. Just keep in mind being aware of this is a sign that you are growing. You are doing a great job and I love this video

seeing someone else struggle with executive dysfunction is so validating and makes me realize i can do so much more than what my brain tells me

Girl, I felt this so hard. Listening to you was like my internal monologue all day. LETS DO THIS!! 💕💕

I woke up feeling terrible about myself and how it’s affecting my partner and now I’m crying listening to your intro cause I gotta start holding myself accountable and have more self discipline.

I loved when you said that you were "taking advantage of your own grace". It's exactly how I feel most of the time. And that thought almost always leaves me not feeling rested, even when I "deserve it." I also loved the conclusions that the process is not linear, 'cause sometimes it seems that there isn't progress. Love from Brazil.

This video was EXACTLY what I needed this week. I had got blindsided by life stuff, health, job closing before October, etc., and there was one project, paper organizing for my house-related papers, that I was ok organizing in colleges years ago, but now, not so much. that I was just dreading and constantly putting off cause I was thinking "I don't feel like messing with this right now.". Watched this video and was like, if not now, when? I'll do what I can today with what storage stuff I have, and if i need more I'll get it. So, thank you Hannah, for showing all of use its never too late to try and make more healthy habits, even if all it was was figuring out stuff to add to get you started on that healthy journey, and that no matter what the outcome is, its not necessarily a straight line to get there....

This is a refreshing video that the internet needs. I think a lot of us struggle with perfectionism, and a lot of us need to be reminded that perfect isn’t a real thing. Exactly as you said, life isn’t linear. The journey and the lessons along the way are the most important parts! Such a good video 😌

this was me until i got diagnosed with adhd and now life is just “easier” to manage… like i still get super unmotivated but it’s easier to understand why now and how to fight it. also medication helps!

Hannah, thank you for this. I have been struggling with this for ages and more basic things. Thanks for your honestly and showing your vulnerable side. You don’t know how many people you encouraged through this.

You were so honest with yourself (and us) about how this wasn't easy. I have a really had time with overcommitting and burning out when I try to stick to a routine again. I tell myself it will be so easy, but it isn't when you are not already *in* that scheduling.

DUDE this is so relatable. I also struggle with holding myself accountable and being super disciplined when i need to be. I want to get into a better routine for myself before the school year starts and everything inevitably falls apart (I'm a grad student, my routines always fall apart)

me literally on the verge of tears bcs I’m in a rut and I get this notif 😭

You are doing such a good job setting yourself up for life, even if things feel like a challenge or you feel like you’re not making instant progress. Honestly I wish I had this level of enlightenment and self control in my early twenties.

You posted this at the exact time I am going through the same. I have been doing so bad the first half of the year so I've been spending the last month trying to be healthier for the sake of myself and my mind. I'm so glad to see I'm not alone in this, and you're not alone either. I love you and your videos 💜

I love how you were honest and real about your struggles through the week and about this process of implementing healthy habits for yourself. Thank you for showing the whole process and not only the good parts

I find it easier to build new habits by focusing on one at a time, especially when it comes to difficult practices that make a "healthy" routine, like exercising and eating nutritious food (or rather, not eating junk), etc. Since doing many of those things, while they're not a habit, are DIFFICULT. Give yourself enough time for just one habit before you worry about the next. They WILL come more easily!

Thank you for showing that you really didn't want to go to that workout class. I mean you could've easily just edit that part out of the video and show us that you went and worked out. But you showed us that you struggled with it and that is so rare nowadays on the internet. I truly believe that most of the workout girlies have those moments far more often than any of us would dare to think. They just edit that out/don't record it to fit their own ideal version of themselves. Truth is that lifestyle isn't the reality for anyone out there. It's soooo easy to compare yourself to the ones who just show the happy and productive moments of life. So thanks again for reminding us that it's normal to struggle. Super proud of you for powering through and holding yourself accountable (even when motivation left you sometimes)!

I felt like this all day yesterday and I didn't even do anything today. I am feeling hopeful for the future

I’m a real one 🥺💛 So glad I stumbled upon your channel years ago, you’ve helped me get through college, my masters and now my everyday work life as well 🫂 Thank you for putting yourself out there for us so we don’t feel alone in this 🫂🌻

I relate to everything you said this video SO much it’s like you read my mind. The thing that works best for me is giving myself no time to think. For me that means booking my workout classes first thing in the morning so I have no time to think about whether or not I feel like going. When I do this it becomes non negotiable. If I wait I can talk myself out of anything. I’ve also thought long and hard about this topic and realized that deciding things in advance really impacts my week. For example I may not have the energy to workout tomorrow but I do have the energy to book the class (and then I end up going). Or I may not have motivation to cook every day this week but I do have the motivation to get groceries rn (and then I end up cooking). I’ve learned to do what I can now to make it easier for my future self to make good choices. Thanks for being so vulnerable I have been struggling with the same things and it helps to know I am not alone 🫶

THE EXCITED FOOD SCREAM HANNAH IM DYING

Hearing you talk about what goes on internally when you hit a wall is something that I relate to so much. All if not most of my life I've struggled to be discipline and consistent with practicing good habits. Over the past few years I've been trying to work on this and these are some of the things I've found to be helpful. I started to get better at this when I started to ask myself why I was dreading doing the thing so much and why was I hesitant or reluctant. For me, most of the reasons that held me back were feeling that I don't have enough energy, or that I don't have enough time, or if I'm feeling low emotionally. I realized that I needed to not only work on time management but also energy management, and emotional management. The emotional management is key for me because I find that I'm really driven by my emotions. If I'm feeling lonely or doubting myself, or ashamed for any reason, nothing gets done. So here is a list of things I've done that has helped me - Making sure I get enough good sleep. - Becoming aware of when I have the most and least energy throughout the day. - Doing things that give me energy, that I enjoy, that energizes and inspires me before I do the thing I'm dreading. - Becoming more aware of how long it takes me to do things - Talking about how I've been feeling with my friends - Journaling regularly I also want to add that change is hard especially when you have to build up the motivation and exercise discipline on a daily basis. For me because I'm so emotionally driven if I critisize myself or I'm too hard on myself it actually discourages me. We all want to have everything figured out and be able to do everything perfectly the first time but it's not how it is things take time and embracing that really helps a lot mentally and emotionally.

I have been wanting to get out of a rut I've been in since May. It has been more downs than ups at this point but this past week has been looking better. THANK YOU for making this video and showing the real and raw side of getting unstuck. I would not have, and I don't think anyone else watching this video would have gotten as much out of it if you had perfectly wrapped everything up in a week in a beautiful bow. It is so refreshing to see someone else (and many others in the comments) on this path to getting back to ourselves. I know we can make it out even if it isn't perfect or the way we picture it. All the love!!!

I also like to work out later in the day. I find that when I work from home and I know I'm going to the gym later I put on my gym outfit first thing in the morning before working and once it's time to go to the gym there's nothing to think about cause I'm ready to go already just put on my shoes, grab my bag and go!

So many times I’ve watched Hannah’s videos and I’ve been like wow she is me. Literally just convinced myself about 20 minutes ago to eat my meal prepped lunch instead of going to buy food. Rooting for everyone here in the comments! We got this!

I like this idea - it’s like a free trial for the life you think would be better - if it doesn’t work out the way you want you can just cancel or adjust.

Everything you were saying about talking yourself out of doing something is where my head is and it is very annoying and very frustrating. We stay in our mind so much and we just don't act. I fee ya all the way.

Hannah, I relate to this soooo much and I bet so many other people do too! I constantly feel like I'm in a rut, like every day. I always feel unmotivated to do literally the easiest tasks imaginable and wonder why I can't be like everyone else. Even though I know I'll feel better afterwards, I still physically and mentally cannot bring myself to do it and then I just get more and more frustrated with myself. Your videos bring so much comfort to me and remind me that surely I am not the only one who goes through these complete mental blocks and ruts frequently. Thank you for always being so honest, your videos never fail to make me smile and make me feel even just that little bit better about myself. God bless xx 🥰💞

because of you and this video I finally did the thing I putted off for a week, thank you for that

Not me who has been struggling with body image issues and body dysmorphia for a solid year🥹 I haven't felt like myself since I graduated, which is funny bc I WENT BACK TO UNIVERSITY FOR A MASTERS. Yet my former identity did not return. I've come to accept that it's because I've grown and moved on. But it's hard. Like a wise woman once said, I knew everything at 18 but nothing at 22 (24 now lmao). Great video bestie❤ you got this, we as a collective team of struggling besties got this💕 I'm a real one

I appreciated the fact that this blog didn’t end with it all figured out. That’s now how real life works. That’s refreshing. I don’t feel so alone.

Just randomly came across this video. I feel like you are verbalizing my thiughts! I run into this struggle constantly. But youve got yourself a new subscriber. Im going to download this to rewatch and help me when its a rough day. Thank you for your vulnerability with the hardships because it is so true!!!❤

Hannah believe me everyone gets off track .We all need a reset every now and then . Don't beat yourself up and embrace the uncomfortable. 😊

I neeed more Hannah content, I love long blogs from you and listening to your videos. Comfort KZfaqr 100%

I feel the exact same way that you do! I have exams to study for in my job and I’m struggling to get back to good study and life habits! I totally get that it’s not a linear process and empathize that you just have to push yourself to get back into it. I appreciate your authenticity with this! 😊

I've been stuck in a rut for the past 2 months after being put on new medication for depression and it not working. This video is exactly what I needed. Thank you hannah 💓 thanks to this video its given me some ideas of how to get my life back on track and do things every day, even the simple things such as breakfast and coffee. It was super brave of you to do a video being so honest like this and I'm sure it's helped others as well as me

watching hannah’s videos on sunday while i do my skincare is a form of self care and no one can change my mind

My most attainable goal I set for myself is only letting myself take one rest day in a row. So when I want to miss, I have to think to myself “do I need today off, do I not feel like going or do I NEED a break”

you can't imagine the amount of people you help doing these videos. tysm, I appreciate it a lot ❤

I dont even know if you are going to read my comment, but I want to thank you for the person you are and for the love and passion that you literarly pour into anything you make. You have no idea how much your videos have helped my regain the love I had for watching KZfaq and the amount of times I have related to things that you were feeling. You have motivated me to restart a routine and sincerely to be happier and sad and start feeling my feelings. I cant wait to watch this video and feel the same comfort I feel everytime I watch you. Much much love from my heart to yours

i can already feel the inspiration through this thumbnail… how did you know i’m on the same journey right now?? we’ve all got this ❤

Hello! I don't really know you or your channel, but this video came to me! What you were saying in the beginning of this video sounded very very much like how I thought of myself before I was diagnosed with ADHD. I couldn't consistently keep routines or structure and I would start and restart healthy habits, hoping it would stick every time and being disappointed when it didn't. I thought that I didn't have discipline and without realizing it, I felt guilty. I built up tasks that I didn't want to do in my head and avoided them at all costs. I thought I just needed to try harder and get my life together. I'm not saying you have adhd, there's no way I could tell that from one video. But I am saying that when I thought these things about myself, I felt pretty guilty and ashamed that I wasn't functioning how I thought I should be. I'm saying be gentle with yourself, providing yourself with structure and quality of life is difficult and very individual. Sometimes you have to get creative with your solutions or ask for help, and being a functional adult will look very different for different people. And maybe look into adhd or autism symptoms and see if they sound familiar lol

thank you for being open and honest! i feel like social media shows all of the perfect moments of life but most of the times its like this and that's okay. ily

i’ve been in the worst rut with a lack of self discipline so this was the most needed video for me

WOW THE CAMERA IS SO CLEAR I LOVE IT 🥰

I have felt like this "wall" so many different times throughout my life and didn't realize other people do as well. I'm so glad you decided to make this video, it was so needed!

I'm literally the same when it comes to doing something that I know is good for me but I think about it so much and make it inot this huge thing that now I'm scared of. and then i get all anxious and panicky ! I thoiught it was all me and never knew how to word it. Thanks for sharing it Hannah, you are right we all are a work it progress, no matter how much we want to chnage thungs in a click but we need to realise that its okay and we can let go at times. much love

I started back at work today after a month off sick due to my mental health, so I feel like this video has timed perfectly with how my mindset has been lately!

you don't know how much I needed this, I have been trying so hard for weeks to set my mind and followed the routines I know are good for me but every single excuse comes to my mind. This was a literal hug for how Ive been feeling for the last three months. Growing up with you for years makes me feel like my best friend is giving me advice in life and I love you for that. You´re a real one Hannah

Thank you so much for being open and vulnerable. I can relate to this on every level. It’s discouraging to see vlogs of “get my life together” and they feel better in 2 days. That’s not how a lot of us process things. Thank you again ❤

I take my quiet mornings super seriously it really helps me regulate and center myself for the day. With that being said, you are the ONLY creator I willfully watch some mornings that won't overstimulate & throw off my days.

I had a bunch of work-related stuff happen and I totally fell off the fitness bandwagon so I’ve been slowly trying to get back on it and juggle everything I have going on… finding that line of pushing yourself and giving yourself the rest your body is asking for is such a hard line to walk! Sad to hear you’re struggling too but know you’re not alone ❤ and thank you for sharing, baby sis!

thanks for including the part where you “hit a wall”. Relatable AF. And I have been fantasizing w starting my own YT channel for years now and watching videos like this one really motivates me to go for it. So thanks 🙏🏼

well everyone is doing the same, ups and downs , i said i'll do a million thing but ended up doing housework instead and here it is a mess again before i even sit for the real important staff , i think it is just that important staff drain us emotionally and our brain tries to protect us by procrastinating and make it look like a mountain to move when it acctually is just a one hour job , anyways life is all abt this trying your best and beating your lasy self everyday and no human is perfect but we need to give our best . Love you Hannah

hannah, you arent perfect and that is ok. the fact that you are trying your best is better than giving up. You are on the right track girl. Also you helped me to do my laundry so thank you

I love your little apartment. It is so cute and quaint. I feel like it’s the perfect apartment for one…and a fur-baby 😂

I absolutely needed this video today. It almost feels like I'm getting a warm hug from a best friend. I'm experiencing PTSD (post-Taylor Swift depression) and for the past couple of days I couldn't think straight, and I didn't get get enough sleep when my Inglewood Eras Tour concert ended. So glad I'm not the only one feeling like I'm in a rut.

if you put oil in the spices (im sure Ive write that wrong but welll...) and mix it the youll have a mixture that it easier to paint the chicken with a brush or a glove and if you let it sit for at least half an hour, for example while the rice is cooking, itll be even tastier.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!! hannah you are such a queen and your videos give me something to look forward to each week. i adore you!! love you 🫶🏻🫶🏻

i’m in this season i appreciate how realistic and relatable this is some videos go the extra mile and just aren’t realistic or motivating . this delivered

I feel you, I recently lost my mom to cancer 💔 and my dad last year 💔 my whole life revolved around them and taking them to appointments. With that also getting my responsibilities done and I was able to manage my time. Now I’m in a rut and finding my way back to myself 🙏🏼💗🌷✨

Please 🙏🏻 let this be your next podcast!!!!

Literally mee!!! Im on my second week of “fitness journey” and trying to get my life back together, on top of that I’m starting school soon. One of my fave videos to date! 🩷

hearing the club penguin music just made me happy but for real thank you for this, i NEED to start time blocking & being more structured with my day-to-day activities as I'm so all over the place right now and completely hate the pressure of a deadline & schedule, so i completely relate to this

It’s too relatable about putting thing off part😭😭😭I’m just the same, if I don’t have time to think about it (like I’m running late or it’s exactly time to do something)I’m more likely to do it, but if there’s time between me and the thing the stress of doing that thing builds up and it becomes harder for me to even initiate the thing😭😭😭

I am so grateful that you uploaded this video. Everyone on social media focuses on just showing the good, easy, and productive times and whenever I don't accomplish those things myself, I tend to feel like a complete mess. It helped a lot. Much love from Germany

You are one of like 3 youtubers I have continued to watch these years. Your content is rare and so human, and I feel as I grow up this is exactly what I lean towards watching more than the “aspirational” and “perfect” influencers. Just wanted to tell you this because you are so consistent and successful in your own way, Hannah. There is a reason you’ve been able to make this your livelihood. We connect with you and I personally, enjoy your videos and seeing what you do or go through next. You’ve been doing amazing through your tough or insecure times. ❤ Putting this out there because you feel like a friend at this point and I am so so proud of you. Wish I could tell you to not beat yourself up so much. It’s amazing to want to improve yourself always. I hope you continue to learn about yourself and discover systems that help you arrive at the lifestyle you wish to achieve. Ty for the videos, Hannah.

Hannah!! I doubt you will read this but oh my goodness was this so relatable. I have been going thru this exact thing, been in a rut for MONTHS and finally the last few weeks started getting back in my routine and gym and healthier habits. As you said it’s not linear..in fact the first few weeks were so inconsistent and up and down. But it really does pay off, and I’m so happy we are both going through it together 🥰🤍 can’t wait to see more of these videos bestie

bettering yourself isn't that easy but it's worth it ❤

weird thing to fixate on but can i just say im obsessed with your choice of background/ empty space music? Its so calming and beautiful, it really just puts me in such a good mood

The realism in this is endlessly comforting.

I'm a real one ❤ I don't know what it is but every time I have a hard time, your video just pops out with exactly the same thing! Watching you put effort makes me try it myself. I hope you know what an amazing human being you are! ❤ Thank you for being THE real one, Hannah!

I just want you to know that this raw video is so encouraging! There are so many times when I wanted to give up or when I felt like a failure in trying to better myself in any way. So seeing someone else struggling through the same process as me is really refreshing❤

The nightingale is SOO GOOD!! Thank you for being realistic and honest in your video. I am going through the same process right now since college started back. This is the first video of yours that I’ve watched and I will definitely keep watching.

just started 75 hard today, what perfect timing ❤️ loved this video. your introspective/quiet vlogs are my favorite (but i love ‘em all). you’re killing it!

Just a random note but I loved the edit of your grocery item list being checked off with each item. It was so satisfying to watch 😍

Hannah- Thank you for making this video. Thank you for staying real with us. I keep feeling like I have to have my life together and have to have this routine but I dont. And I'll never completely have it together. I've been struggling all summer with this idea of having to heal and having to pull my shit together. The truth is I can't, not completely anyways. It's something that takes time, and like you said, has it's ups and downs. Right now it does feel like there's a lot more downs than ups, but I know I'm going to pull through. I'm so comofrtable at this spot in life, that I've forgotten what its like to be uncomofortable in situations that come my way. So thank you, for reminding me what 'healing' and pulling a life together is really like. It's hard, and you reminded me that that is okay.

i enjoy your honesty!! super relatable tbh with the whole experience of having all these expectations for yourself and feeling like you've failed if you don't hit every single goal. feeling the need to scrap the whole project and/or start over or not "count it" if you mess up. hang in there!! you are an inspiration either way. love your vibes as always. (i'm a real one lol)

I have been in a rut all summer, sleeping most of the day, not hitting the gym like I was, eating poorly, no productivity or self-discipline. I am getting my reset prep work done this afternoon so that I can begin my reset and overhaul for September. I feel like I need to deep clean myself inside and out. I already deep cleaned my room and closet out, so I feel better on maintaining my apt at least.

i swear by evening workouts. you get back and shower and relax

I feel you so badly with just hitting this huge slump and wanting to get your life back on track. For myself, baby steps. I started with waking up earlier (this is what I enjoy doing) and eating less fast food. I now make my bed in the morning and try to keep my kitchen clean after I did a huge declutter of it. Next I'll slowly start incorporating moving my body again, even if it's once a week. I tried conquering everything straight away and then gave up just as quickly. Baby steps is still progress. You've got this girl and I'm rooting for you!

loveeee the long vlogs 😌

sending you so much love!! i am so proud of you for keeping yourself accountable, learning what works best for you, and being so so relatable. absolutely love you, have the best week!!🤍

thank you for the realistic portrayal of this process. I'm going through the same thing -- looking for inspiration here and there to push myself to get into better habits. Seeing you not be linear throughout this has honestly pushed me more because it's just so relatable. Thank you for this! I'm a real one

Whew! Only 5 mins in and i’m already feeling seen. This is so on time for me! I just randomly clicked on this video after telling myself that I’m tired of doing the bare minimum. I just watched a video on taking accountability and I know this is the universe speaking to me. thank you for making this video!

this is one of my absolute favorite videos of you- and I’ve been here since 2019…

hannah!! thank you for this, being so real and honest is so helpful. ive been watching your videos since we were both in college and now seeing how both of us are transitioning into being able fully control our schedules and lives, its difficult to structure an entire day and I just wanted to say you're doing great and no one's journey is linear

i desperately needed this, thank you

I absolutely LOVE that I’m not the only one who freaking struggles with this. I’m actually getting emotional with how much this means to me ♥️ Love you. Love your content. Continue being authenticity you!!

This is motivating me to clean all the dishes in my sink and actually cook a decent meal for myself!!!!!

I appreciate the full honesty of this video. We all struggle to stay on track.

Missing your school related videos in this back of school season 😢 I loved this video btw ❤ you’re so real

You are so relatable, especially with social media it is so hard to just stop being in your phone for once and at least get something done
