Thank you for the reminder that we can set our own start dates. I'm really not prepared for the new year after a super busy end of 2023, so starting in February and taking January to reset is just what I need!✨️
That's what I've always done. I've always had that fresh start feeling around the Lunar New Year. For my family, Christmas goes to the Epiphany, so after the sixth, we slowly take Christmas down and deep clean the house and get things organized as well as a lot of resting and movie watching.
The 31st of January is both my birthday and the day I submit my phd thesis so I am definitely starting my new year in February. This month is survival mode only!
I like the idea of starting my new year on 1st February. December is such a crazy time with Christmas so using January to wind up the year is a great idea.
Because I have SAD I’ve been trying to lean in to the solar calendar and decided that Imbolc at the start of feb (half way between the winter solstice and the spring equinox) is a really good ‘new year’ kind of date. This year I intentionally let myself have the whole of the bit between the solstice and then for the new year planning and refreshing and it’s feeling really nice and changing it from overwhelming to almost a comfy little ritual.
Same! I don’t think that I have SAD but I am very much struggling with this last slog of winter. Considering Spring/the equinox my real new year, and the period before that a warm-up, is helping so much. It feels so much more natural and we’re giving ourselves grace 🥰
My December self is rested and ambitious when I create an annual goal list. My January self is resentful of my December self. I like the idea of speed dating goals in January, then launching the realistic ones in Feb.
After spending 3 weeks with my partner’s family and friends over Xmas (with whom I communicate entirely in broken Italian) I found your social anxiety episode really helpful ❤️ thanks so much
That was a lot of work you got done! It gave me motivation to declutter my place this weekend and officially start my New Year in February. Thank you :)
Love a good reset! My parents were here for Christmas and the New Year so I focused on them. They left on the 4th and I used that day and the next to refresh everything. My New Year’s Day was January 6th. 😁
The only thing I got done before 2024 was my vision board. I have not resetting a thing but just like you, my plan is to do it now. Better late than never.
You have to be the most connected influence RUclipsr out there!!!!! I don’t know what is it about you, but you are amazing and you convey your messages with such clarity and ease. There’s not many RUclipsrs out there that have had such an influence over my life and I just made life easier. Thank you so much for your contributions.
Thanks for your video! Motivating and I adore the idea of starting the year on our own time. It feels like a self compassion choice. I really would love to see a ‘ways to build self compassion’ video of yours but I believe you made a bunch about self love though.
I always try to reset for the new year, but if I am not able to I am lucky my birthday is near the beginning of the year. I absolutely reset by Feb 17- it’s about 6 weeks in so, for me, it is a good goal date. Oh and as for the crocs, apparently they are “stylish” according to my 15 year old cousin 😀
omg michelle i didn't even know the white crocs are so popular here, I'm so glad that I got a pair when I visited home in Malaysia! Got a matching pair with my partner but mine is the platform one and you should look into it, super cuteeee
for the flimsy-ness of the wall calendar, you could put tape all along the back of it- that way it gives it more structure but you can still write on the front~! it'll make it a tad heavier but at least it won't be as flimsy?
Interesting!! I get so much varied feedback about background music - in this case I actually just forgot to add it when I finished up the editing for this one.
Hi Muchelle Great video, we have similar intrest ❤ I was thinking to make a RUclips video on : Can we feel fulfilled without being productive. Maybe you would like to say something on this topic and make video about it. Like, can we enjoy for a while without feeling the urge to constantly improve ourselves. I would love to hear your opinion ❤
URG to live in a part of the world where you can start your year in cute warm weather outfits and not 4 layers of clothes. I want to feel light again 😢 Edit: I want to add that you are brave for being able to listen to Touch of Darkness as an audiobook 😂 was too much for me to hear some of those scenes out loud.

Looooooooove life admin vlogs like this. I would watch these everyday even if they are repetitive ❤

hope everything will go well!
Thanks you @@annoar9776 !

I love the idea of black cloud hunting! I definitely have a few "clouds"/"tasks" hanging over my head that need to get cleared out!

💛💛 thanks so much for taking the time to let me know.

love these videos. I do reset admin days three times a week, because there is so much that needs to be done. :D

I like how simple and real all this is
Oh yeah ! Same mood here, January is for cleaning up what’s left from 2023💪 ! So New Year start on February here too 💙 Thanks for the motivation
I also like the idea of the New year starting Feb 1st, haha! Lets go!

I was just thinking the other day that it would be lovely to get a life admin-style video from you! ❤
I haven't even had time to set goals for the new year, soy year of definitely also starting in Feb!
I missed so much your decluttering videos! 🌟 i love them
Could you link to that giant calendar!? 😁 love that idea of seeing every day
Yes! I got it from this etsy store: www.etsy.com/au/shop/PlanTheThingsCo?ref=yr_purchases
Where do you get your wall calendar from? it's pretty cool
You could try mounting the calendar on some cardboard or sheeting, using a spray adhesive or similar
Double sided tape might be better

Very inspiring. I love this content.
This was so motivating thanks so much.
Yesss!! Such a fantastic idea! Thank you for this video❤
Bit late because you've already peeled them off, but a warm hairdryer to heat the sticky strips before peeling them works a treat ☺️
An angel thank you, I will definitely use that next time
for the flimsy-ness of the wall calendar, you could put tape all along the back of it- that way it gives it more structure but you can still write on the front~! it'll make it a tad heavier but at least it won't be as flimsy?
Yesss i think i will do something like this!!! Good thinkin
I love it so much
I loopooved this! Yes! We can CULTIVATE that fresh feeling 🩵
I have so much to do as well but working on it ❤
This inspired me a lot!
This was great, thank you!
Loved this
I really want to put our washer and dryer in our closet I think that’s really help us.
Loved the video! I do wish there was somd background music though
Different strokes! I hate background music hahaa
Interesting!! I get so much varied feedback about background music - in this case I actually just forgot to add it when I finished up the editing for this one.
Where is this calendar frooom?
What about framing your big calendar so it‘s not so flimsy anymore?
❤

I clean out my emails every day, I don’t talk to anyone anymore through email so all I get is junk and bills. But other than that my life is a wreck
heard, chef
hi I am late to watch this ❤❤
Can you share links to the 2024 calendars you got?
This is the etsy store I bought it from: www.etsy.com/au/shop/PlanTheThingsCo?ref=yr_purchases ☺️
First here! ❤
Thank you for being here!!

HHAHAHA I actually had to stop it I didn’t realise it was a smut book
@@muchelleb LOL same! Lets just say that was the fastest I have EVER rolled up my car windows…
This is very much a tangent, but can you share what you use to fake tan?
Bondi sands!! Technicolour, the palest one
