My only resolution is to ALWAYS KEEP FIGHTING.

Hello, Queen G!! I have three resolutions: 1- I'll start trying to love myself 2- I'll make myself respected 3- I'll definitely cut ties with toxic people in my family. Here's to 2018! Happy new year!!

My main resolution is to get out of my comfort zone in a lot of things, and keep my depression from taking over and letting my life get out of hand. i.e letting my room get to hoarder status. I want to let go of the toxicity in my life, and finish things that I started- In my experience, setting large goals for the new year just ends in sadness, as life changes and gets in the way. I mainly just want to be happy with life.

CAN I HAVE A TACO

I’m with you... I don’t like making resolutions, I feel like I’m setting up expectations that I should be reaching without a deadline. All I try to do each new year is make sure I’m happy and I can spread that happiness as much as I can to other people. That’s why I love the SPN family, reading what some people are struggling through, whether I’ve been through that same thing or not, is hard but I love to help as much as I can. Happy new year!! ❤️😘🎉

I only have three resolutions because if I do loads I NEVER DO ANY!! 1- to travel more, because I love travelling so much! 2- TAKE MORE PHOTOS!! I’ve realised that I have a hugeee love of photography, I even made an Instagram page (@bellerophotography) ;) 3- I also want to come out to my family. I realised midway through 2017 that I’m non binary and it’s something that’s taken ages for me to embrace, so hopefully I’ll build up the confidence to come out! also I loved this video!! I can’t wait to see more

I love seeing Gen talk about Jared as she knows him. He's "Jared, my husband" and Supernatural is just "his tv show", and it really grounds my sense of their reality, and makes me understand even more so why they cut down S14 to 20 eps, so that they can be with their families...not to mention love seeing more of Gen and all the baby Padalecki's are adorable as fluff!

In Victoria, Australia, our end-of-school exams are called VCE exams. You can choose to do a VCE subject a year early to improve your ATAR (your end of VCE result that decides what university you go to depending on your course). I’m doing VCE biology a year early and my goal (or resolution) is to get the best grades I can for this subject and do the best I can to get a result I can be proud of.

1. Do more yoga 2. take care of my skin 3. workout more I love you so much and I really hope you do a house tour because from what I've already seen you have an amazing home with amazing decor. I wish you would but thanks for sharing your lives with us, we greatly appreciate it. I love you and your family, happy holidays.

To let go off past failures and learn to grow as a person and always keep fighting 💖

I want to be kinder to myself about making mistakes and learn to ask for help and not feel weak for it. Happy New Year!

I am glad to know I am not the only one that is frazzled with my family. Thank you for being so open about the way things are trying to juggle kids, husband, and responsibility.

queen padalecki!! i just watched all the video and wow seriously i don’t have words i’m so incredibly proud of you and jared and i hope you’re having an amazing 2018 too!! love you with all my heart! thank you for everything and for making me happy everytime! forever thankful and grateful 💗😭

I really like the idea of making intentions instead of resolutions and cutting yourself some slack on the bad days. One of my intentions is going to be to get healthier. For me, that means losing some weight and eating better. My 8 year old nephew made me realise this weekend just how unfit I am, and I'm going to be an aunt again in July so I need to get into a better lifestyle so I can be around for them and feel better in myself. Another intention is to gain some independence. My severe anxiety issues have always made this difficult, I rely on my parents a lot. I still live with them at age 28, but I am finally looking at options for moving out but making sure I am still near my support network.

I'm fond of intentions and selecting a word to try to embody/embrace for the coming year. My word for this year is THRIVE. Last year it was serenity and, well...that didn't really work out so hot. We lost 4 family members, two within 5 days of each other & the third two weeks later, so...yeah, it went from serenity to survive. We made it, though, so that's what counts. On the plus side, I conquered my anxiety enough to attend my first SPN convention in NOLA AND meet my some of my beloved Twitter tribe in person for the first time. In fact, I took a solo 7hr. road trip to connect with some of my BFFs, then we all drove together another 12-14 hrs (?) to the Con. Such an amazing experience. This fall, I'm taking my youngest to the convention in Cleveland, so she can meet her favorite actor & give him a hug (she's ridiculously excited to meet Misha. I'm hoping to surprise her with not only a photo op with him, but also with one as Castiel, since that's her favorite character too). Many blessings to all this coming year & may y'all achieve whatever you strive for.

My intention is to stop beating myself up about things that I really have no control over. I think that releasing control will make a big difference and teach me how to accept myself more!

For me, I'm trying to make this year about myself. My own health and happiness and living my life for me. Most of my life has been taken up by looking after others and taking on responsibilities that aren't mine, all at the cost of my own freedom. I turn 25 this year and I feel it's high time I do something for me and not feel guilty!

I always smile when Gen smile, her smile is just too beautiful!

I’d love to loose weight but also learn to be comfortable with my current weight... very tearing. I’d like to balance out my life but I also like where I am right now.

My New Year intentions....I think the biggest thing for me will be getting my depression and anxiety back under control. This past year any and all progress I'd made went down the drain and I got really bad. I'd like to be able to work up the courage to ask for help because I am not good at that at all. On a lighter note, I intend to pay off my visa debt and hopefully cut the amount owing on my car down to half!! And pay for tuition in the fall! But I've got a good feeling about 2018 and I feel like things are going to work out for me and for a lot of other people too!! Best of luck to everyone in this coming new year xx

Yes! Be more gentle with and forgiving of myself!

My New Year's intentions are: 1.) Take up running and hiking. 2.) Fully transition to vegan lifestyle. 3.) More cooking, less take out. I loved your intentions, Gen! Happy New Year! 😊

I'm going to start a prayer journal this year! I want to write down what I'm praying for but also prayers that have been answered so that I can look through and see all the things God has done for me, even the things I didn't ask for! I think it'll be amazing to see how He answers my prayers vs how I expected Him to or how He gave me what I really needed instead of what I asked for! I believe it will help me grow i my relationship with Jesus and others, as it helps align my desires with His!

I like the idea of intentions instead of resolutions because I was thinking the same way - that they set you up for failure. I intend to work on myself by building better mental health and self care. And to let go off things I can't control or things that don't need me to control/take care of them. To hopefully be healthier and happier in the new year!

I want to start my hypnotherapy business in a huge way, I want to relocate and absorb myself in an island life, I want to write and publish my books, I want to be healthier, more active and involved with life, not sitting on the throne of apathy again and just live in mindfulness of the fact that these fleeting years of human life are given to us so we can leave a legacy of love. That is my intention. Full of fresh naivety, I guess, but I have nothing if not faith in all that can be. Happy New Years to you and yours!

My 2018 will be about letting go. Letting go of the loss. Letting go of self doubt. Letting go of self hate. Letting go of insecurities. Letting go of the past that I cannot change. I have always held on to so much and not in a healthy way. It’s time I just let it go and move forward.

My intentions: 1) Keep better organized with my planner 2) Learn that I can’t control everything 3) Also be forgiving when things do not get done.

intention is so much more important than resolution ❤

What I want to leave in 2017 is the bitterness between me and my birth parents. My goal is to move forward and keep them around as distanced friends. I am also going to try to keep fighting through my depression so I can see the world is all of its beauty for another day. Love you Gen, keep doing you girly

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!! My resolution is to do be more adventurous and get out of my comfort zone!

I have a resolution just to try to live a little more gracefully, by practicing patience with myself and others, projecting more love and light, and having a more positive outlook on things. I also hope to continue to train and work out more and more; i’ve been doing it recently and it makes me feel strong and confident, which definitely changes my whole attitude. happy new year!!🎉💝

You are such a happy, bubbly, smiley person and that always makes me appreciate you and all of the SPN family ❤❤❤

I love how you position it as an intent and not a resolution. We should always strive for our best and not perfection. I've enjoyed watching you and your business grow and thrive this year. One of my goals is to focus more on blessing others in 2018. I want to grasp the idea of minimalism and self happiness.

My resolutions are 1 - save money because my partner and i have a bad habit of spending our money without thinking and so we want to save 2 - put as much energy and effort into getting our house finished. Our gardens are horrible and we want to do an outdoor entertaining area so saving our money would definitely help with that! Happy new year padalecki family 😚😚

honestly just getting more comfortable with who I am and appreciate little things more and bring more happiness to othet people

this year i would like to be brave, have a free spirit, and a kind heart! i love u gen

I would love the chance to meet Jared and Jensen and you, and just spend the day with you all, and see what it's like. I know thats not an ideal opportunity, but one can dream. My resolution or intention is to be more positive. My 2017 was filled with negativity. I lost friends, I lost my grandma. I had so many unresolved things happen that I just want to let it leave me, and to embrace life and live more positively. Also be around my family more. I live 2 hours away from them, and I don't want to go weeks without seeing them, but life happens.

Gen, I'm legit tearing up. I relate so much to struggling with self criticism and self forgiveness. It's so so hard to remember in the moment to be gentle with yourself. You're not alone on that journey, sweetheart. I wish I could hug you and hold your hand each time you struggle. But since I can't do that, I'll lovingly send strength and positive energy your way, and hope it helps. Please take gentle care of you, always.

My 3 intentions are: - becoming mentally healthier - make a new friend - try to break out of my shell So pretty much 2018 will be the year of me ☺

I would say mine would be to learn to let things go and not let things get to me as bad as they have in the past. For someone who suffers from an anxiety disorder, that isn't an easy task to do. So I strive to achieve at least a portion of this if not all of it. But Jared and you are a big inspiration to me. For if he can handle all he has with while dealing with anxiety issues and you can handle raising three kids while he is away all the time filming. Then I can handle something as simple as not letting things get to me as much as they have in the years past. Thank you both for all you guys do. Love y'all! #AKF

I love the idea of intentions instead of resolutions 😊 I intend & hope to be more adventurous & do things that make me happy!

Love the word intention. So keeping true to that word my intent is to look after myself both physically and mentally. Eat well, smile more. Enjoy each day whilst helping where I can. By the way thanks for sharing your family, it is appreciated.

Happy New Year! 🎉 Hope you have an amazing 2018! ❤

You are so right that resolutions set yourself up for failure. I do like the term "intention" so my 2018 intention is to get healthier by doing my morning stretches to help with the hip arthritis and then get on that dang treadmill and work out every day. My other "intention" (more a hope), is that I get to meet you in person in 2018 whether it be at a convention or hopefully when me and the WOL Phoenix chapter girls make a road trip to Austin to check out FBBC and SanJac/Jacks Saloon. Happy New Years to you and the family! I love this channel, please keep posting.

I agree with intentions and not setting yourself up for failure. My intention is to focus on myself, learning to love myself enough to make healthy choices emotionally and physically! 💗💖🎉🤗😉

Happy New Year Padalecki family!!😘💖 🎊🎉🎆✨

Less procrastination, more time spent being creative! Happy New Year, Padalecki family!❤️

I try to make resolutions whenever I want, so that way, I’m more devoted to keep them. I love how relateable you are, it honestly makes a lot of us feel better ❤️

Be more forgiving to myself. I may have to steal that one... Happy 2018 to you and your beautiful family!

To be more productive! Happy New Year!!

I definitely want to reconnect with people I have lost touch with. I want to make it a point to call my family members more often and my friends. And I think I'm like you, I need to be more forgiving to myself and not beat myself up over the smallest things. Happy new year, Gen!

You don’t understand how excited I am that you have a KZfaq Channel now!!! I love you so much!

Gen thank you and Jared for being great people and bringing about change for being bullied. Thanks giving us help. I almost committed suicide. But with ur and Jareds messages and the spn family I am still here. Thank you.

The best thing I have heard this year: You don't get a chance to wash your face everyday. There's hope for me! Just hearing that, made me feel like I'm not a failure. That was huge, I love you for that. Happy New Year Gen. I'm gonna go wash my face

In 2018 I’m definitely gonna try and work on myself by building my self confidence and try loving myself. Without putting too much pressure on myself of course :’)

Try to love myself is my intention

I don't really make resolutions at the beginning of every year but this year I want to try my best in every area of school. It'll be my last year of high school (my fifth year, wow. It feels like I just started yesterday) so I want to make sure I'm taking more opportunities (I'm not the best at stepping outside of my comfort zone) and putting more effort into my work (I try to give 100% but if I was more organised, it could improve). I'm going to miss high school so I want to make this last year a good one.

One of my resolutions I would like to try and keep is to love myself a little bit more, to feel good about myself and to keep fighting. And maybe travel model ( but that's more of pipe dream than resolution haha) Happy new year y'all!

I know it's a little late, but I just watched it.. My intent/resolution is simply to respect myself with the hope that will lead others to show me respect.

I love to see your videos, it relaxes me. My resolutions or intentions would be... 1- To finish or almost finish the 3 short films I'm in (directing 2 and producing the other). 2- To have all finals approved and get my degree. 3- To expand even more the SPN fandom in Argentina so we finally get a convention here. We really deserve it. 4- And last but not least, same as you: learning that I can't do it all and that it is ok.

You are so inspiring to me! What a beautiful family you have. So many people assume that when you are a celebrity or married to a celebrity that life is so easy, but you are so sweet and down to earth and a great hands on mom! Thanks!

My new years resolution is to love myself 💛

I love how honest you are. From your first couple of videos you're such a natural and are just being so completely open and real. Honestly, that's not easy to do, especially when you know you have people looking at you. I just am proud of you and excited to see more :)

gen, your vlogs are so genuine and helpful. i love being able to follow your blogs, it brings so much light into my life!! my new years intentions are to learn to not care so much about what other people think about me. i let other peoples opinions stop me from doing what i love. my passion is performing and acting, and because of other people not supporting or making fun of me, i almost made the decision to stop and chose something else to do. but i’m going to do what i love for myself, and i believe if i stop obsessing over others opinions, that will happen. thank you so much gen, i’m looking forward to another year of Now and Gen 💕💕

I'd like to appreciate the little things more cause I learned that these little things... they aren't so little.

Setting intentions is so much better than resolutions, I want to: -hit the gym more often (who isn't) -focus more on my art -save up for my own car that I actually like? 😄😄😄

I think my resolution is to put my phone down more and actually enjoy life through my eyes and not through my camera just to post it on Facebook. I also want to work on loving myself more because I have zero self esteem and I’m afraid I will pass that trait on to my daughter. I love your videos and I hope you continue to make them!

The year’s already almost over now but my school year just started and my resolutions are: 1. Get rid of toxic friends 2. To get good grades 3. Stay out of the drama and not get sucked into it

Gen you're so thoughtful and versatile, I really want to imbibe that effortless class you embody. You're an idol!

Tom's bye bye was so adorable 😭😂❤

I hate saying I’ll work out more and eat healthy... it really does set me up for failure and then it’s just counterproductive... My intent this year is to look after myself more, love me a little more and do what feels right for me. In my health, work and personal relationships...

I'm so happy to see you here 😍😍😍😍😍😍

literally the most beautiful i've ever seen

my ultimate goal this year is to bullet journal. I've tried to journal or plan or for like two years now so i'm really hoping 2018 is a good year and I can actually stick with this goal.

Sooo cute! 😍 Wow the quality of gens videos are soooo good😍😍 it's amazzingg😘😘 & so so eloquent, I feel like I'm gaining brain cells listening to her

If you burn the house down don’t forget to put a blonde girl on the ceiling

I like the idea of an intention rather than an unrealistic promise - it's been 2018 for 14 hours and I've already managed to fail some of my resolutions....

I Myself No longer set resolutions!!!! I too see them as setting yourself up for failure! I just set goals when necessary/relevant....I think It's good to set goals On a daily basis even if they seem really small! I will say things I want to continue to work on this year are My Acting,maybe get some acting jobs in 2018 that would be awesome as I really love acting so much! Also like to work on improving My Figure skating and Gymnastics skills, and just keep remembering to Always Keep Fighting💙

I'm so glad you made this video. I'm being more intentional about being positive about the hope of recovering from my Toxic Mold Illness and Multiple Chemical Sensitivity that have crippled my life in the past and I'm FINALLY starting to see progress. I may never be rid of the difficulties but if I remember how far I've come I won't get so descouraged when I'm feeling tired of the fight.

I don't make resolutions but I do like setting little mini goals for myself like visiting at least one new place or trying one new activity. I've never tried yoga and I've been looking at yoga classes to go to for the past few weeks but just haven't gotten the courage to take that step yet. Good luck with your resolutions/intentions!

I want a job in a nonprofit (I'm an outreach educator). I'd like to do a better job taking care of myself, and start the process of becoming a foster mom. Thanks for the vid! It's nice to hear your voice again.

Happy New Year. My goal, rather I achieve it or not, is to try to lose weight. I have overcome a lot, and I hope to let go of it, and try to become more outgoing.

One of my intentions is definitely to be more forgiving of myself, and recognizing that there is always room for growth. I want to work towards becoming more financially stable (medical bills suck😂😭)

Like you I don’t believe in resolutions however I do have two things I want to begin this year. 1.) To go back to school and begin working towards a degree. 2.) To take care of myself by eating better and exercising a little more. Hope you and the family have a great New Year and I love your blog and videos! Keep up the fantastic work!

Always Keep Fighting

It’s already New Year’s Day over here and lemme say, my 2018 is made just by watching this video 💖 As for my intentions, I hope this year will bring positivity and love and productivity for me, as the past couple of years have been really hard on my mental health. Love you!

I'm going to try to get into shape in 2018 and take better care of myself, maybe even one day soon learn to love myself. I'm also gonna try to learn more piano and learn to sing better and love other people more, maybe even make a friend

I hope to have better succession this year! I've been feeling like I've been letting a lot of people down including myself. So I hope I can succeed in at least making some people happy. Getting sleep because I can't sleep. And for me to stop complaining in the comments. I'm gonna shut up now....

I love Odette so much!

I feel the same thing about resolutions!

I just wish for 2018 that it's going to be easier. I just had a hard time lately cuz I realized that I can't handle everything and I can't help my friends or family with their issues if I can't even handle my own. So I hope that I can handle my problems this year so I can help my friend's with theirs and I can be happy with myself again. But I have a good feeling that it's going to be a better year cuz I feel very strong again and my little brother or sister (I don't know yet) is on the way and I'm so excited to finally hold him or her in my arms😍🙏😊 I wish y'all a happy new year and a good time❤😊 (I'm sorry if some things are wrong but english is not my motherlanguage so yeah...)

I love you and I enjoy watching your blogs and how genuine you are and just being real!!!! I myself have 5 kids and running a business can be a bit much but I love every second of it keep being you! Because you definitely motivate me!

Of course, as always, is weightloss. It's been an emotional struggle this year so I slide waaaay too far back. Short goals... first goal is to see a positive change in my appearance before my next hug from your hubby on my birthday in Vegas. Wish you could be there because meeting you is another goal 😘

I'm trying to live a healthier life style and not procrastinate. I love to see what you have on the blog

Many blessing to you and your family in the new year!

Happy new year. I never respect my resolution but if I have to choose -travel with my family ( Island will be great) -be a little bit more confident -and finish my book (my dream) If for one time I respect that it would be amazing

You are just perfect Genevieve ❤️.

I can only agree that setting resolutions causes failures. I set resolutions for years and never even accomplished half of the list. So the first year I did not write this Resolutions letter I achieved everything that was ever on my list. This was amazing and I really cannot explain why this happened. So anyway since then I never wrote such a letter again. :)

Perfect pod cast and discussion.
