- It's halfway through the year and all I've done is eat cereal. This is a simple method to reset and take control over the 2nd half of the year :)

"Setting up a camera! What's next? Terraforming Mars?!?!"
I had to pause the video because I fell into a fit of giggles. I struggle with ADHD, and this is my brain about literally everything.
This video is precious. I'm not a parent, but I caught myself smiling every time you came to the realization that your daughter is THE goal-setter. She is THE reason for all of your future choices and decisions, and that is beautiful. This video also shows that your journaling exercise actually works since we saw it happen in real-time. 👍
I couldn't agree more! This video is adorably wholesome and truly helpful 🤩
@@glitterpenguin absolutely!
I'm a High School teacher with a new batch of seminar students (we get freshmen and keep them all four years in a seminar hour) and we're definitely using this and your other videos to set and achieve goals this year. The mindset stuff was awesome with my seniors last year. Thanks for the content!
Speech therapist here, I concur! For those kids with executive functioning issues, the last one-page goal-setting worksheet was brilliant.
@@amygirl1661 where could I find the goal-setting worksheet? Thank you :)
As someone who never had a father who was present--and I am sure there's a lot of people watching this who can relate--your excitement and love for your child is amazing, don't ever feel embarrassed by it. 🖤🤗 Also thank you for these videos.
that must be hard - stay strong and the fact you are watching these videos shows you are on the right path
I love how your eyes sparke when you talk about your daughter! 💖
I’m five months pregnant and genuinely moved by your enthusiasm for your kid. I’m so excited to meet mine and I feel inspired to reframe goals that appear to be in opposition to parenting as in service to parenting!!! So sweet. Thank you!
It is the best! (Though enjoy sleep, a tidy house and impulsive nights out now because they’re all coming to an end 😀)
"What's next?! Terraforming mars?!" hahaha. my brain with any minor inconvenience.
Thank you for this - wonderful as always!
I was spiralling due to my ADHD and this video is GODSEND! I cannot thank you enough. This "Half Year Reset" journal template is incredible and I cannot wait to fill them up! Love seeing the joy in your eyes as a new parent ☺Keep up the good work!💛
Did you end up doing it?
“Dad” looks great on you! You look the happiest and healthiest I’ve ever seen💚💚💚
2 hours and a whole giant Notion journal entry later and I'm FINALLY done with this video. I love the addition of why do you deserve it and your example of "her father deserves it", because it made me also look outside of myself at the person I am from someone else's eyes. That can often be the hardest part to write, so here's mine as an example for anyone else struggling to look outside themselves here:
Because I work with more fire than nearly every person I know, and other people I know are not be as dedicated as I am to seeing things through..I deserve to show that same amount of fire and dedication to my own ambitions and goals, not just furthering the ambitions of those around me.
as someone who also can fill up an entire page of racing thoughts and self sabotage, i’m trying really hard to practice the “talk to yourself like you’re a friend or your younger self”. it’s uncomfortable to say good things about myself which is not how it should be and i hope the “why you deserve it” page doesn’t just stay blank
Ooh another fellow Notion user! I listened to this video when it released but I kept putting off doing it. I'm about to sit down and re-evaluate my whole life now. Congrats!
The fact the template for this is just freely available (not even a sign up form!!!) Blows my mind 🤯
Your 'holy shit, man' moment just gave me the exact same 'holy shit man' moment. I've been seeing my work and my kids as opposing forces for 7 years. This changes everything 🤯
Campbell man: time and time again I come back to your channel. You are the only self-help channel that I've encountered on RUclips that isn't filled with cringe misogynistic garbage and advice that makes you hate yourself. Seeing your honesty and authenticity over your own struggles to stay on top of life whilst also being a hugely successful RUclips account and personality in general fills me with inspiration.
Almost 2 hours later and I'm back here to say thank you.
This Video lead to the (probably) longest journaling session in my 22 years so far. I've kinda been on a self-improvement-trip for quite a while now. Some things worked pretty well, while others didn't. But these questions really helped me to start understanding where my problems actually lie and why I keep struggling with the same things. This journaling session gave me a new perspective on things and some potentially gamechangeing ideas for a strategy to solve these problems I couldn't seem to get rid of. It's getting pretty late in my timezone so I better go get some sleep now. And we'll see tomorrow or in week or in half a year, if this Video was actually as gamechanging as I believe right now. But I know it'll help me in some way, even if it was just to give me a new hope and motivation.
Thanks for doing this Cam. I always love your videos, I know you say you were kind of in a rut, but honestly your videos this year were some of the most inspiring videos out there. Doesn't matter if it's about running or some litte shape that conquered the world or more 'selfimprovement oriented' like this one. You make so many people's lifes just a little (or sometimes a lot) better.
Your daughter is not the only thing you can be proud of ;)
I totally agree with that last sentence
This is so true. Understanding your problems helps us know how to solve the same differently moving forward.
I have tears in my eyes seeing just how much you love your daughter and how she’s impacting your life so positively just by… existing. You’re an incredible dad. Go you
This is one of your best videos yet. Really resonated with me the vulnerability and humility of this. Pretty inspiring stuff. Thank you!
I totally agree
second that
totally agree and think we should reset every 90 days to keep focus - distraction can kill your dreams !
Awwww. I came for the motivation but stayed for the cool dad feels. It's true--our kids are depending on us to be our best selves so we don't perpetuate the cycle 🎉
I love your passion for parenting. I've raised two children and currently have five grandchildren and can't imagine life without them. I also loved the video and the handout and will be working through it myself. I could definitely use a reset.
Seriously, an hour ago I was asking myself “How can I use journaling to find my way through this stuck spot?” And lookit! There you are! Thanks, man!
Less than two months ago I gave up on a job offer I was looking for three years in the worst shameful way (not self sabotage, it was kinda like...blaiming a perfectly fine fact I would have accepted to face, so childish and it hurts as hell now). It's my actual biggest life's regret and I am not living this good with its burden. I don't know how to deal with this freak of nature now, but I felt so much pain after realizing I did the wrong choice that it changed completely the way I look at things. For real like never before. That freaking pain (still here) is making me drown in the worst way I have ever experienced, but this time it will be different. Loved this video man. I wish you the best for you and your entire family.
Thank you for boldly sharing your shortcomings, thought processes, and typos with honesty, humility, and vulnerability! It was magical to watch you light up and experience the epiphanic reframing of mind about how your goals can help your relationship with your daughter! :)
I’ve been watching your inspirational content for years now, but I have to say that this one struck such a chord with me that I had to comment. The moment was when you had your real-time epiphany about your work and your daughter. Even before you realised it, I was thinking, “Include your little one!” but not in an “on camera” way; rather, in the way you came up with. I love that you realised how you could incorporate both goals. I have 4 children and (from my own experience, anyhow) the most fulfilling times we have had together are when I have found ways to incorporate learning/doing/making experiences. Your daughter is still very little, but yes! you can include her in your exercise routine! I always took such joy in dancing around with my children (still do!) and modelling the joy of movement with them, at all their life stages. They’re 10, 14, 15, and 20 now, but they are all so wonderfully independent in their self-expression and I chalk that up to modelling the same to them and including them in my goals. Every year of life is a wonder and a blessing, but I’ll be honest; I think my favourite part is the first few years (especially after about 6 months) when their own unique personalities start to show. I don’t see them as an extension of me. They are their own unique being, and I feel so much awe at watching them develop into the human they will be. I do hope you will enjoy the journey! There is nothing else that quite compares!! Thank you for all the wonderful content you have gifted the world with. Cheers!
I'm in my early twenties, fairly fit. Can do a (real) muscle up and pistol squats. Beginning of the year I wanted to run an Ironman. My first time going for a proper long run outside I had an asthma attack and I'm having so much leg pain I'm using my old cane again, which I haven't needed since I started getting daily exercise. I wanted to motivate myself to become even fitter to help combat all the issues with my body, and my body ended up telling me no with a hell of a reality check.
Instead of running an Ironman, I've finally decided to go back to the doctors and try to get diagnosed and treated for my chronic pain and joint issues.
I'm currently seeing a physio who is actually helping more than I thought and have an appointment booked with a podiatrist for my foot. Started to realise that I can't just grit my teeth through everything in life and a little bit of help can be a huge difference.
Who knows, maybe I'll run an Ironman the next time it comes to my city in a few years. Maybe I'll even make it on the podium. Sure as hell won't be doing any of that until I start to take care of myself though
Dude, this was a banger, one of my favourite videos of yours for sure, equally adorable and honest and vulnerable. It was an absolute joy to see you work in real time through your own journalling exercise.
I love seeing you grow as a new dad, and the way your content reflect this. It’s really quite fascinating and I can’t wait for your next videos.
❤️✌️
as someone who has an extremely insecure and confused dad who moved out when I was in 6th grade- it’s thrilling to know there are such good ones like you. So excited for your family! And thank u for another incredible guide
Man, I love your positive attitude despite things never going to plan and the appreciation of that journey. At the same time it's so important to still be reflected about the details. Love this journaling preset. I can normally never convince myself to fill one of those, but I'll give this one a shot.
Despite you feeling like you've been in a creative rut...
Your videos explaining the creative ruts and how you overcome these ruts have been super valuable!
Your impact is amazing! I'm so grateful for your videos! I often find my self getting very UNSTUCK from your content! Keep up all the great work ❤🎉
I opened RUclips to rewatch your half year reset video - just to find you made a new version of it 😍
I loved the old one, but this one hit differently, thank you for the vulnerability. By the way, I didn't think the slip-up of posting the video a month early made you look like an idiot, it actually made you more relatable and more likable in my eyes.
I love how you kind of did this writing exercise for the first time in front of us instead of recapping one you've already thought through (at least that's the impression I've gotten before). It was nice seeing your reaction to your own good ideas (and if that's not what's going on then you're a hell of an actor 🤘)
I used this last year and plan on using it this year. Especially since its around the beginning of my son's summer break from school. It's difficult to accomplish much without some sort of structure. He wants to get involved with some of my goals and we're brainstorming how to synergize what we want to accomplish. So, thank you!
You’re easily my favourite RUclipsr lately, thank you 😊
Your revelation about how your art and child are not in opposition is exactly what I experienced. Once I realized that, I started doing art activities with my daughter while I was practicing my own art. I would teach her enough that she was happy to make something on her own, and I would work next to her and give her guidance- she was only 3 and 4 while I was doing this, but it had a clear positive impact on her.
You'll get over all this stuff with your daughter the first time she says she hates you.
15 years of unconditional love leading right up to that moment
I don't have kids but I most definitely want to live in a world with parents who love their kids. Not corny at all.
What I love about this real time epiphany is that they (work, art and your child) all involve creation! What a masterpiece a tiny human being is.
Literally your greatest piece of art to date!
I just love your energy...and honesty!
Maybe something you'd like to know about how your art benefits your daughters life:
I grew up as a child of a sculpturer and a painter. My best childhood memories are focused about me joining my parents in their creative space, while they are working. And about them showing me the things that inspire them. Just so i could engage in creative activities in their company. Later i would show them what i had made, whilst they had made their stuff aswell. Creativly active parents are honestly such a huge bonus in a good childhood.
My brain is so primed by your videos that I I could just hear your voice without listening and I would still be motivated (it is a compliment)
The joy in your face when you talk about your daughter 😍This video was super helpful for getting back on track. thank you!
The complexity and production-editing-cost-time of your videos has nothing to do with their actual value. As long as you’re speaking from this place of humility and honesty that you have within yourself, you are making a massive impact on us viewers and that transcends success defined by numbers
I love the fact that you think you’re not doing well yet you have almost a million subscribers??. Yeah nah! I love your channel! Fun, authentic, realistic and humble. keep it up!
As someone whose life has fallen apart in the last 6 months: changed jobs, ended a relationship, just moved, and therefore have completely neglected my goals and systems for months... This is perfect! Thank you for sharing! Im genuinely excited about whats next for me but I haven't known how to start to re-engage with my goals and values. ❤
It's okay to talk enthusiastically about your daughter. I am still on my 20s but I find it fun to look for how next stage of life could be 🥺 So heartwarming
OMG I love you!
First, your whole art vs kids.... That's exactly what I've been feeling since my kids have been home for summer break. And legitimately nothing has gotten done.
And second, when you said your kid was the best thing about your life... I could totally hear the emotions welling up and all that love just trying to escape.
Welcome to Parenthood!!
Turning the coolest of us into giant blubbering messes wearing our emotions on our sleeves! 😂
I’ve definitely been struggling to see the pursuit of my career goals as detrimental to the well being of my family. I guess im afraid it’ll take away my time with them. And I realize that, just like you, I can spin this and just convince myself it can be for their benefit.
You know that little tingle you get when someone says something that resonates with you? Like you're about to cry but it's not that intense? That's how I felt when you had your epiphany about your art time helping your daughter and not opposing it.
That's how I've felt about my music since having kids. "I can't focus on music as it will take time away from work and hurt our income". Thank you. I'm going to give myself more time for music as it will help my kids as I'll be happier :)
You made a vew videos this year, but what you make is super enjoyable and gold. Do not let time or preasure from youtube say otherwise. Its been crazy since 2016 on how much content creators "need" to make resulting in a bunh of trash content. Enjoy yout life and your daughter. Remember you are human en not a robot. Setting low expectations while making goals is the best thing I ever did. I am a very anxious person plus you go trough highs and lows, trough seasons in your life. Defenetly try to find your flow when you are creative. Creating 24/7 does not work for every artist. I tent to create a vew things during my summer vacation when I get to focus on myself have low stress and have some time to explore(about 4 weeks). The rest of the year I do not feel bad for not creating. Cheers and stay cool.
Damn I definitely needed this video. I've had arguably some of the worst 6 months, especially because things didn't turn out how I hoped after graduating college. Things are starting to look up but I've had to seriously reevaluate my goals in real time. I will definitely be taking advantage of the half year reset form this year. Thanks for making what you do :)
Nice editing too you’re always funny and charming! Glad you’re finding happiness in fatherhood. Thank you for the resource. ☀️
3 months ago your marathon video came up on my recommendations, today I ran my first marathon.thank you . I have also had a shit year but I'm counting this as a big win to start the half of the year. I'm grateful
Good luck on the move man. I've a 3 and 5 year old and feel that togetherness. Sometimes my kids come into the studio and we paint together. Just enjoy your kid and accept that love. It fills you up.
I just want you to know that I've watched all of your videos and have shaped my life in the best direction possible. You've helped me realize that I am a wonderful human being who deserves happiness and love.
I've rediscovered my creative self and have put myself back onto the path of creating, smiling, and loving. If there is ever a day that you feel down, please come back to this message or any of the countless messages on your videos who remind you all those that you have inspired, helped all those who were lost be found, and show that anything is possible.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I, and everyone else, wish you the best and cannot wait to see the next Struthless creation.
If it’s any consolation, the canoe theory is serving me very well, after moving to a whole new town. Thank you for your videos
I feel you on the Dad vibes, Cam! I've also struggled with the "time with kid" and "time being creative" and am having a similar mental renaissance shifting those from "vs" to "together". My little one turned 4 this year, and they are the reason I've been able to sail through some permanent health challenges that cropped up for me a year ago. If I wasn't a Dad I'm sure I would have been super negative and hung up on them for months or more, but instead I'm living through the changes with as little drama as household chores, cause I just want to do the best for them that I can
Oh dear - I have been “away” for a bit from and I don’t have 1 good reason, I have about 73! - I’m now going straight to the pool room to get my personally signed “Your head is a houseboat” book to re-read, then going back thru this channel. I needed this reset. THANKS Campbell ❤. Disclosure - I’m 58, only child and a daughter, my dad is 81 and he still lights up when I visit, never loose how you feel despite some teenage years 😂
🎉🎉🎉 love this! Thanks for following the votes and making it public!
Honestly! Y are just a much-needed little light in the universe. Stuff changes, things end, but until then shine bright and know you make a difference to more than just your daughter. Thank you for the joy ❤
Holy shit, man. You just helped me have the same epiphany! All of this time I've been self sabotaging myself over creating new artwork that could sell, exercising, and eating healthier because I try to put more time into spending/taking care of my daughter! But making the time to do these things is beneficial to my daughter because I could help provide for her, and be healthier for her. Obviously I still need to take care of her, but I need to stop making excuses and just start making changes to get these things done! Thank you! Your videos are always so helpful and I love watching them!
Your vulnerability in self examination is so valuable as a viewer! I think it removes shame (funnily) enough about being honest with ourselves about what's really holding us back
Bearded bold love from another daughter's polish dad. Keep the good work going! You're the best!
I love this video and I downloaded the Half Year RESET! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make more videos. This is one of my favorite channels, definitely at the TOP of my list!
The way I laughed when you said what’s going to keep me on track after two broken legs, not squats - that was the best laugh I’ve had in a long time!!! 😂 thank you, loved this vid. I loved that you kept in the self-epiphanies as well. ❤ keep up the great work!
I've had by far the most challenging 6 months of my life and this is helps a lot! Thank you Cam, this channel is genuinely my favourite and your book has been life-changing for me 🌻
struthless, the vulnerability that you show in these videos is absolute gold for people like me. thank you. you are in a creative flow lately making your absolute best content and the energy is so very contagious. keep being an inspiration man!!
This video is ELITE! So many gems in just 9.5 mins. You can really take accountability with these prompts since they're so introspective in nature. Love this type of stuff. Thank you so much for sharing this method!
I loved hanging out with my Dad in his studio growing up! I hope your daughter gets to experience that too!
Dude, I went through the same thing earlier this year between work, my daughter, and a massive depressive spiral that threatened my job. Changing that mindset to the classic Simpsons "Do it for her" moment turned my whole career around.
I’m so grateful I found your channel!!
I’m taking a social media hiatus for a year & wanted to reflect, self improve & really reach my goals in addition to therapy. This channel has helped me so much!! Thank you ❤
i am doing so little with my life, even printing out these pages feels super productive
how much you love your baby is the best thing for her too, it will set her up for so much happiness. lucky kid!!!
I love that you dance with your daughter! Creating such beautiful core memories for her! Great video! Thank you for the motivation✨
ur so wholesome man, i love watching this new era of new dads bc you are all super cute, gives me faith in the next gen of kids having loving dads
I didn't know that I needed to see this video to realize that I have not done much self reflection in a while. Thank you
Cam, I love the way you brought this back from two years ago. Sometimes I feel as though I always need to be moving forward. That's not true, sometimes reflection is the name of the health game!
I feel like I always say this, but thanks for being so honest and sharing your goals and reflections so openly
Bro, the fact that I've been torn between getting my RUclips goals up and running and taking care of my sister, your statement about thinking of work as being in opposition of taking care of your child really put into perspective for me that I *can* use my RUclips goals to ultimately benefit us in the long run, I just haven't been prioritizing both like I need to be, either putting too much focus into one or the other. Thank you for another fantastic video man, I always learn something new from you!
Thanks! I really needed this today as the winter bleghness is fully setting in.
This has nothing to do with the video but I just finished reading your book "Your Head is a Houseboat" and I felt so held and so seen, I was on the verge of tears (happy tears). It is amazing how you managed to approach the reader with so much love and compassion - I am really out of words to describe the feeling that the book gave me; all I can say is that it feels like being hugged and held mentally. You must have a giant heart full of love, Struthless, and I am so thankful for you sharing that love with everyone in the world through your art and the content you create.
I love this video SO MUCH. your realization that it's not vs it's together was so lovely to watch.
Such a new parent 😂 and i mean that in the best way. When i had my daughter my identity and choices were very linked to being my daughter's name mom. I quit my job and went back to school, made sure i was the parent she deserved. I think now i still have a fair amount those goals and ideals there, but I am finding it important to differentiate mom choices/goals and the core ones which also deserves appreciation and recognition. Its a journey.
Man I can relate to this so much, I have a 20 month year old daughter and she inspires me to be better everyday. She's what I think about at 5am to get out of bed and off to the gym. To stay healthy so I can chase her around and live longer. I've also fallen back in love with playing guitar and she loves it, I want to get better to teach her when shes older.
This is amazing Cam.😍 The first six months of 2023 hasn't been the best time in my life and just yesterday I journalled about making the final six months of 2023 a much more productive and uplifting time. I just turned on my laptop to log my gym training and there you were on my RUclips feed with just the medicine I needed. You are just so inspiring. Big thanks from NZ.😀
Just a few timestamps for future reference:
0:59 Step 1: Empty your head
1:46 Steps 2 & 3: Write down your goals from 6 months ago and what actually happened
2:56 Step 4: Assess why you hit some goals and missed others
4:10 Step 5: Write down your ideal second half of the year and the reason why you want it (aka: your goals & their 'why')
4:50 Step 6: Order your goals in terms of importance
5:06 Step 7: Who would you have to be to complete these?
6:27 Step 8: Create a system where you can realistically hit your goals over the next 6 months
7:07 Step 9: How will you stick to the plan when things get tough?
8:14 Step 10: Why do you deserve this improvement?
Thank you
The fact that you keep finding spelling errors in your old work kinda shows how the “shitty first draft” is actually working. XD
I love your energy in this man, and how you’re so focused around self improvement more as a construct to help your daughter rather than yourself, and it kinda shows how people are *a little* better at helping others than themselves :’)
I love this video, i’m rewatching it multiple times to use the technique, because in the last 6 months i wanted life to be *grind* i listened to a lot of hamza and was actually making progress.
but then, slowly, i slipped, and i didn’t listen to much sel-improvement stuff anymore, and i kept slipping and procrastinating till the point of a breakdown and completely reevaluating my goals and systems.
I do have to be proud of myself, at first, because i’ve accomplished A LOT for myself. I started a web comic, and i’m 32 pages in already, and it’s looking like i can keep committed. i can do 20 push-ups (used to be able to do 28) but i slipped, and now i’m redoing my goals and systems i HAVE to see that this is still a lot, because in the past when i went on a grind i only ever got from 1 to 12 at the most.
I’ve decided to start praying (not in any type of structured religion, because i don’t believe in that) because i have to realize /how much/ i’ve been given, and i have to take advantage of that.
Thank you so much for putting your work out in the world, you’ve helped countless people by sharing your progress and i’m so grateful.
I wish you the best of luck and good fortune in the future ^^
I laughed out loud repeatedly watching this video. Pairing humor with a potentially daunting task was unexpected and incredibly welcomed. Thanks for this! 💞🤣
Hey man, I know you probably get hundreds of messages like this but regardless of that I want to thank you a lot, and I want you to know that you have a very real impact on people's life. Just 1 year ago I was still a miserable depressed mess, but during this year I've started my weightloss journey, so far down 15 kg, succesfully passed a C1 English Exam, went back and re-did my school leaving math exam, upping it from 51 to 91% and made it back to my first choice of university to study Finance. Thank you man, could not have done all this without your guidance.❤
thank you for humanizing yourself, and giving yourself permission to be forgiven to yourself.
Your single handedly making my life better thankyou for being so honest and open
Dude this is AWESOME and just what I needed right now. Been feeling lost and like I have no direction so I think this will help me get back on track. It also helps me remember that it’s ok to start this kind of shit any time and I don’t have to feel shameful for not being where I want to be at the moment. I’m so glad you’re back!
The excitement of realizing that having kids doesn’t mean everything else has to stop, but that it can be improved with the kids.
I fish with my kids often and love it. It’s an excuse to get out more often. and my colleagues don’t fish either kids, they say having kids prevents them from fishing.
Kids are a lot of fun and they enrich acts of your life without even giving it thought.
Congrats on the sobriety! On on day 1066 without alcohol. Best decision I’ve made for myself and my kids.
Me: Artist - You: Legend, Me: worst 6 months of life: You legend: Me: completed worksheets, You: Life Saver!! Much love from South Africa dude 🤘
Always love your stuff man, thankyou
I love your channel, you’re such an inspiration!
Love what you make mate. Keep going! I’ll use this.
Your videos genuinely make me so happy. Thank you
This just gave me so much joy. Thanks dude!
thanks for the journal!! going to use this!
Your videos are just so lovely! 💖
Dude the moment you realized that your creative endeavors were not in opposition to caring for your daughter, that hit hard.
You're a solid dad.
Aaahh struthless! Always posting right when I need you! I've been fixed on restructuring the trajectory of my life recently and here you are.❤
