Your whole sentiment about “people overestimate what they can do in a year and underestimate what they can do in 10” has led me to create a 20s journal with lessons I’ve learned, books I’ve read, and goals to accomplish by 30. Your advice has already been life changing, especially the “you *are* that type of person” advice has empowered me to do new things that I was always attracted to but scared of. Thank you for everything

My best (most successful, funnest, effective) resolution was "Be higher maintenance." I used this resolution to experiment with makeup and hair and dressing highly femme/fancy after years of trying to code queer/too cool to care. I learned so much about performative femininity, the ridiculousness of coding queer, and how much of those things I truly wanted to do!
@roebearwhat 3 жыл бұрын
This is so interesting to me! I'm always stuck in that 'wanting to look queer enough for others to pick up on but not so obvious that my family etc will suspect' and end up dressing like an unfortunate 14yo boy. Part of me wants to be more femme and also badass, its so confusing and hard to find an actual style! How did yours end up?

My vegan/vegetarian goals are always related to recipes. I don’t think going vegan will ever be healthy for me, but setting the challenge of finding a vegan or vegetarian dinner recipe I really like is doable. As I make recipes I love a lot, simply learning one new recipe will still result in quite a lot of vegan or vegetarian meals

The “ten people are allowed to hate you.” 😯😯😯😯 That hits hard. 🥺 Especially the description. Someone being against you for a reason you find unfair and desperately wanting to fix. I feel naked hearing that. That takes up a HUGE part of my brain and my day. Every day. Even just one person I can’t handle. Or, I guess, if I don’t like them I don’t mind if they don’t like me. It’s just people I liked. Or at least respected. Because it feels less like a difference of opinion and more a misunderstanding they have about me and don’t believe they could be wrong. This idea/ advice is nothing even close to anything I’ve ever heard before. At least never from someone who isn’t a typical selfish overly confident “I do what I want and I don’t care if people hate me” kinda Kardashian-esque individual. Never from a nice person. Not until right now. That’s gonna take a while to digest. But thank you 🥺❤️

I loved this! I decided not to make New Year's Resolutions a couple of years ago as I never followed them through (surprise, surprise) and instead now set vague targets or aims. They're essentially the same but I feel way, less pressure about them. This year, simply to exercise more regularly. Now, I don't exercise at all right now, so whether once a week, once a month, or even just walking into the city (when I'm allowed) will let me feel like I've started working on this goal. I like that it's vague and has lots of wiggle room. Also, my jukebox song for you is "The Future Freaks Me Out" by Motion City Soundtrack - it's an upbeat, synth filled punk rock version of an existential crisis. I hope you enjoy it

LOVE the input not outcome rule and that resolutions can be changed. I'd also add that you can set resolution for a week or two, then after that for another. This way a) you win 52 times - if you fail once, you still have 51 wins - instead of one or zero b) you can easily readjust

I give myself a sliding scale for measurable goals. Like this year, I want to draw every day. But drawing 365 days in a row i see as 100% of the time. I am happy with anything that is 75% or better, which would mean I can not do it for 3 months out of the year and I have still met my goal and that make my goals feel a lot more achievable.

Your videos always bring me so much joy! I agree soo much with all of your points. I particularly hate, as you said, how goals have to measurable and tangible, nothing is intrinsically valuable. Kindness, compassion, organising to prevent climate change, spending time with family, helping the homeless are not seen as legit goals because they can’t be monetised or measured. Instead we celebrate people who sacrifice their lives, relationships, happiness, health to make their goals happen. And these goals are often a gateway to right-wing and patriarchal values: investing money, toughening up, strength, self-reliance, individualism, competition, reinforces the classic idea of restoring ‘traditional values’ to ‘fix’ society.

After 20+ years of living and feeling not normal almost all the time, this year I’ve figured out that I’m both asexual and aromantic. It has felt amazing to realize this for myself, after so many years in doubt of why I lived and thought the way I do. Still, I can’t keep myself from doubting this identity everytime (everyday) someone/something “screams” at me that the path to a good life is romantic love. But my goal for 2021 will be to go back to enjoying myself. Not comparing to whom I could be (better), nor to a way of being that is “sold” as the only way of true happiness. Just enjoying coming back to my true self. Thanks for the great video Leena.

I'm a very rare breed of person who actually really likes new years resolutions. I completely understand why they don't resonate with other people, but for me it's like my one thing I have to do for that year and there's only this year to do it- how I do it, or when I do it (within the year) is irrelevant. But there will only be one 2021 so if I do nothing else in 2021 I at least know what one thing I need to focus on. Last year I went vegan and I'm still vegan now and have zero plans to change. This year its to quit smoking- which, admittedly, might be one of my hardest yet. But I've already had a successful year of giving up cheese so I now feel more confident than ever that I can do this. If 2021 goes to shit and I do nothing all year BUT I'm confidently a non-smoker by the end of the year then no matter what else happend the year will have been a success

Since watching Attenborough’s latest and reading Sapiens in 2020, I have already implemented a ‘meat is a luxury’ rule. I am allowed to eat it if I’m eating out but I do not buy it for home unless it’s a special occasion. If I am going to buy it, I also have to buy locally and ethically (but if the Christmas ham I bought from a local butcher turns out to be Danish, I do not beat myself up, just make a note for next time). I’ve also just subscribed to milk and more meaning I’m buying glass bottles and they also do oat milk in glass, so I’ve switched to that 🥛

My top tip as a student is not to make resolutions on January 1st, but at the beginning of a new school year, as I think it is a more significant change in our lives (starting a new grade/degree..) and therefore a chance for a fresh start.

I like making themes of the year. 2019 was my year of Unapologetically Advocating for Myself and i spent the year on more auditions than ever before, i got a job, I quit things that made me uncomfortable, all because i wasn't apologizing for taking up space. 2020's theme was deeply forgettable, to the point where i just reread it yesterday and ive already forgotten it again. BUT 2021 is my Year of ~**~Building~**~ I want to build a morning routine that makes me excited to get out of bed! I want to build a writing routine that keeps me engaged in my stories, and overall i want to build a life that i am excited to participate in. I find that themes forgive that feeling of "It has to be all or nothing" because rather than getting on my own case about "i didn't write every day" it becomes "something about the routine of writing every day is not working for me, how can i rework this into something that does?"

I really agree with the tip about resolution not having to be about me, like seriously there's not much I can change about myself every year, but the world definitely has enough

I'm clearly years late lol but I really had to embrace the "they have to improve you" lie. One of my goals this year is to watch a new (to me) movie every week. When I tell people that, they are surprised and say "that's a fun goal" and I realized I need to incorporate fun goals more regularly.

Weirdly, you inspired me to write down new years resolutions now, haha. But maybe because the way you frame it make it more relatable and enjoyable altogether!

Girl this video was SUPER honest and helpful, suddenly I don’t feel like hopeless and are actually thinking about a few options of how to improve my year but at the same time NOT being too hard on myself and setting myself up for failure 👍🏻 Doing your bit every day is about as good as you can do and if that bit is resting and doing nothing now and then, then thats what you needed also.

Ur eye makeup is out of this world in this video. Your videos have been my most favorite thing this year. They're the reason I've been less hard on myself
