I have never brain dumped! My biggest goal for 2020 is to get organized in all areas of my life
I can relate to you. I know how you feel. Thanks for sharing.🐒
Totally blessed! May God continue to FAVOR YOU! At 62 I'm going to be sitting down and letting this video get me back at centered. 2019 was overwhelming HARD and it weakened me. THANK GOD FOR YOUR Anointed lil self!
Thanks for this, some really useful information.
I was brain dumping at 3am today but I didn’t know that’s what it was called 🤣, I just thought I couldn’t sleep coz my brain was in overdrive. So everything is now on one sheet of paper, and I’ve listed your questions and ideas about life priorities so I can PLAN for probably the first time in my life (I’m 59!).
Thankyou!
Good for you! I am in the same boat.🐒😌⭐🐣👍
This is the first video of yours that I have watched, and I just want to say I LOVE the way you're talking about this: How we all have different seasons of life and our goals and abilities vary etc. I have a talent for beating myself up whenever I don't do something "perfectly" so of course when I sit down to start my 2020 journal, and I have no idea what I want my focus for the year to be, I hit this huge mental wall. So I run to RUclips lol. And all these videos I'm looking through seem to miss the mark...but after watching this I can like give myself permission to process things and have goals that maybe aren't the usual "work out more" or "lose weight" etc etc. This is what I needed to hear in my current season.
Thank you. Love the energy. Love the chattiness.
I'm so glad to help! Yes! Give yourself the permission to process things and work through your goals the way you need to!
I agree that if handwriting is an accessible skill to you, it has a power that typing on a screen does not. Getting the thoughts out of your hands, and also seeing them in your unique handwriting reminds your brain, "hey, that's me. I did in act write that. And how much did I mean it?" Because there's the psychological study of graphology, that reveals patterns about our personalities in how our hands write out our thoughts.
Seeing you write your goals and plans down, encourages me to do so as well...and it couldn’t come at a better time: 2020 is about to be quite a year for me. Thanks for your wonderful ideas!
"Sometimes we're good at letting our emotions have improper control over us" I didn't come here to be dragged but... I'll accept it. Lol
Liked and subscribed!! I never bother with 30- minute videos, but this one called me. It took 3 sittings, and it was worth it. I love seeing how there is a distinction between day plans and goal plans. I always use a notebook for breaking down projects, but I've never found anything to help me create and break down goals. Your video is a game changer for me. My husband is dying of cancer, and my life is a mess. Goals have been impossible to think about, and yet I can't help feeling that's exactly what I need to do. Thank you for this💖
I'm so glad to help! I'm so sorry for your husband. I can't imagine how challenging this season of life is for you both. I'll be praying for you. I hope that planning and goal setting keeps you focused and intentional about what really matters in your life right now. *hugs*
Rose V. I am so sorry about the cancer I am dealing with that for a loved one times three. But I think we do need to practice a little self care on ourselves because when cancer battle is won or lost we won’t be left completely drained. I have spent hours on studying diet for the fight against cancer. So I care give and research and care give then work and try to see family members who do not live it day to day it can be a lot.
Rose V. I just came across this video & channel for the first time and I just scanned comments and yours grabbed me instantly. I am so sorry for this season your in. My husband doesn’t have cancer but is expected to continue to decline & pass when it’s his time I don’t know. Sending prayer to you precious lady.
Rose V. I am adding you and your husband to my prayers! 🙏🏾❤️
@@haircandykina On some days I wonder how I'm able to get out of bed and keep moving, and then I remember: Jesus is ever faithful and won't let me stay down, and he listens to the prayers from good people like you. Thank you so very much🌹
Holy moly 😱 I used to do brain dumps and I somehow managed to completely forget about them. I'm so glad I saw this to remind me of it. I better do a dump now b4 I forget again. LOLOL
Thanks for the inspiration,I used to do this every year when I was single. The last three years have been a blur, three years ago was mine and my husband's first Christmas together, the next year I had 1.5 month old twins and my health was sketchy, and last year I got whammed with late onset post postpartum depression. Finally this year seems like things are settling and I can get back into doing this. I'm going to go do a brain dump right now.
Thank you so very much. I returned to watch and download. I truly appreciate you taking the time and providing all of the information. It was not rambling one bit. This is not something that can be lightly touched on. So again thank you for being committed to getting this off your mind and to the people that truly needed it. Hope all is well.
I think it's so cool that you have a category for Ministry & Giving! Thanks for sharing your tips!
You share so much positive information. I needed this and will be scheduling time to do this ASAP. It's been years since I did a brain dump. Thanks for giving perspective.
I'm glad to help! Get that brain dump done 😁
Excellent video! This was very, very helpful! I would love to hear more about creating a personal mission statement.
I will be doing a video on it later this month 😊
This was so helpful and encouraging all at the same time!
Awesome video. I truly appreciate the time that you took to go through the whole process. I am looking forward to doing this. Thank you!!!
Have you ever looked at or tried out Desire Mapping (Danielle La Porte). It's essentially mapping how you feel about different aspects of your life vs how you want to feel so that when you create a goal it is a goal you will feel rewarded by when you get there - not just an arbitrary goal society suggests you should have if you're after a specific thing. I love working through this process once a year. She does day timers too so you can check in with the things you want to feel every day so you always feel like you're getting closer to your goal.
I've never heard of this but I'll check it out!! Thank you 😁
I was thinking of that book while listening
This is one of my favorite videos on this subject. You have really given me some useful ideas as I think about goals for 2020 and how they will lead me to my life goals.
New Subbie here. It’s been YEARS since I’ve done a brain dump. I know I need to, I feel it. But I keep running and I’m so overloaded I’m not accomplishing much. So I’ve neededthis. I’m disabled and in a very different season of life. Ten years now... your delivery of this and channel set up and.... I don’t know, but I’ve ignored all these type of vids but stopped here. THANK YOU! I’m determined and so let’s do it! 💖👍🏻🤗
I kid you not, I have watched this video like 5 times. 😂 I printed my sheets (thanks) and I’m excited to get started right now! 😍
Oh my word... I've been putting off watching this because I didn't want to get excited and then of course fail AGAIN. Anyway, thank you. I enjoyed and am excited to start my own brain dump and categorizing and identifying life goals. Also thank you for the free resources, because I've always wanted to try the power sheets, just couldn't justify the cost for something that I didn't know I'd really use. I'm so happy this was a suggested video for me, I'm going to share this video with my 12yr old daughter who struggles with severe anxiety and PTSD. I think these concepts will help her identify triggers and correct coping strategies. You are a blessing. Definitely a subbie for life. 🧡
I hope the worksheets help both you and your daughter! Have fun planning a better year!! :)
The only time I'd recommend typing is when your brain goes faster than your hand. Sometimes as you are brain dumping, your thoughts can turn from a snowball to an avalanche that is just too much to keep up with. And don't worry if you are too slow at writing and typing. The more you brain dump the less frequent your thoughts will be and the easier it is to keep track of them. The best way to deal with it now is to write down what you can, when it becomes stressful take a break and do it again when you've calmed. Keep at it, because fuck fast thoughts, you are going to do this! (Hope this helped)
I like that you have a few different formats (books) to help your planning exercise. Thank you for showing the variety and for reinforcing that writing (hand to paper) is important to imprinting and that we never “arrive”. Level 10 is a myth (a bill of goods that we have be sold by so-called gurus) similar to “work/life balance”. Your explanation was helpful in exploring my own beliefs in this concept.
I'm glad to help 😁😁😁
Patricia Muir So true we are ever evolving and there’s no destination. I’m so sick of self help gurus. 🙄
I don't mean this in an offensive way at all I just think it's interesting how different people interpret things differently. I totally agree that you can't be at level 10 in every category of your life for the rest of your life but I also never thought of level 10 as a destination where I have to arrive and then stay at. For me it's more (like Elyssa herself said) an evaluation of how well I'm doing at something *at this particular moment. So e.g. physical health: If I am eating well, if I'm feeling great about my body, if I'm doing the amount of exercise I'm able to do *at this time in life and if I'm happy with where I'm at right now and doing the best I'm able to do right now then for me this counts as a level 10 in that stage of life. This does not mean that some months down the road I'm still at that level. Maybe I get sick and have to recover, maybe I'm having a baby or a new job or a family obligation and simply don't have time or the mental capacity to work out, eat well and especially feel good then maybe I drop down to a level 3 or whatever. But this again gives an indication that this area is one to work at as soon as I'm able to do so. For me it's an ebb and flow and not a destination and I do really think that sometimes we just have to say to ourselves "I'm doing great in this area right now and I'm gonna give myself a 10" and not always think "well I can't give myself a 10 because there always is something someone else might be able to do in this situation which I'm not doing". Or I'm rocking at my job, am earning the money I want, am seeing purpose in and am super happy with the work I'm doing and the team I'm doing it with - then that's a level 10 for me. Maybe try to see it more like a grade - just because you got an A+ in this test doesn't mean you will in the next if you stop studying ;)
Sorry this is a very long explanation but I think it's so interesting to hear your interpretation of this because I myself would never have thought of it that way! :D
Loved this, thank you! Interestingly I ordered an undated Powersheets set about 2 years ago but have not worked through it due to overwhelm/perfectionism. You have motivated me to pull it out and work through it over the next 6 weeks. Also subscribing to your channel and going to check out your blog and other videos now 😊
That's awesome! Put those Powersheets to use!! 😁😁
Hey, did you ever get to use the power sheets? 🤗
I really enjoyed seeing your process. I am retired and my goals are pretty small and yet I can see how important it is to define them and work towards them. As old as I am, I may not have lots of time left to achieve things I want to leave for my loved ones. Thank you for the sharing!
This was very insightful and helpful! Reflection always brings about revelation(s); therefore, evaluating where you are will lead to where you want to be if we are willing to do the work to get there. Goal setting is a road map that is laid out to guide us to our next location on our journey. You’ve offered some valuable tools to create that road map. Thank you!!!
I love this video. I love the way you talk and very down to earth and practical examples.
Thank you!!! This gives us a good way to start!! For New beginners it can be overwhelming!!!
This is very helpful! I definitely would fall into the hiding in the sand category.
You have really beautiful hands and nails.
This is EXACTLY what I needed!!! Thank you!!! I've never known how to begin planning or goal setting. I'm a perfectionist, free bird 😆 my perfectionist side needs structure in getting things accomplished, but as a free bird I had no idea how to get it done. My mind doesn't naturally group and organize things 😩 this broke it down for me so well. I already brain dump for mind space, but now I know how to organize the mess 🤣
I really liked this video. I love how you break things down and are very specific. That’s one thing I love about your channel. I can’t wait to see all the videos you mentioned in your email. Fun stuff coming. 🤗
Thank you so much! I'm enjoying putting this together!
Love the term "brain dump". I do that often but didn't have a name for it. Thanks.
I'm in a place in my life where I have some spear time and I don't know what to do with it, it's very frustrating. Your video is a great example of how I can work through this situation. Thanks for sharing this inspiring content!
Thanks
I'm glad to help!!
I can’t wait to get organized. I literally am all over the place. Love these videos
Love your video. Keep them coming. Thank you for sharing.
This was very helpful. Especially like that gave different goal examples....that alone was so clarifying for me.
I throughly enjoyed this! Thank you!🤗
Your nail color looks fantastic with your skin tone check it you are already Classy get it girl thanks for extending this series
Awww thanks!! 😁
You are very much deserving keep it up
Have been binge-watching your channel. Thank you for your videos. My season; I'm 51 and returning to school for my nurse practitioner's license. Also, have my 83-year-old mother living with us, so need to keep appointments, school, work, and family organized.
That is awesome!! My mother is in a very similar season - she also recently became a nurse practitioner and she's also taking care of her parents. I wish you the best!! 😁
I've only just found your channel and brain dumps are something that I find daunting...I have anxiety and once I start trying to write thoughts down I cant keep up with my brain. This is a video I'll probably come back to a lot as I'm sure it will help my anxiety and my prayer life.
I have the same problem, so instead of writing I type it up on the computer. I'm a lot faster at typing than writing. You could try that and see if it helps.
This was extremely helpful!! Thank you so much for the knowledge!!
I just found your channel so I am a new subscriber. This was VERY helpful. More please! Also, I love your nails.
How have I only found you now?! On the plus side I get to binge watch! Thanks this and your Home Management TN have been really helpful
I really appreciate this. I like the prompts & questions. I think it's hard to move over a "speed bump" when you are stuck on things that you haven't completed or that are sitting in the back of your mind.
I needed to hear this today. I'm a list maker but not a brain dumper. I think that would be more helpful for goal setting.
This is ALOT of homework for procrastinators. This is definitely helpful however there is got to be easier method of figuring it out and less time consuming.
The more often you do it, the less time consuming it is. But it just depends on how much info you have to/want to go through 😁
Wow definitely loved your video thank you so much for helping me. I am encouraged to start the prep work to setting my goals and doing a brain dump. I appreciate all the time and energy it takes to make these videos for us to use.
New to your channel, I loved your energy on this and how you went through everything. Definitely inspired me to take some time to do some planning and self work today
I just stumbled across your video and this is the first one I have watched of yours. I must say, I really love the way you explained and broke down brain dumps and goal setting. I actually feel like I can now achieve this for myself and more importantly explain this concept to my teenage daughter. I really think that it is such an undervalued, highly important skill that all kids should learn to live more fulfilling lives. Thanks so much. 🙏🏻
Thank you for this video!! I work in a creative field so I've always done brain dumps for work projects, but oddly enough, never for myself. 🤔. I'm going to start this today and I'm subscribing to your channel. 🤗
Awesome!! Have fun! :)
This was a great video! Thanks so much for the free planner sheets also! That is so nice!
Hello today is 26 March 2021 and I am working outside listening to this youtube. It was all very helpful. Thank you. The thing that kept fascinating me was that you had no idea that COVD19 was going to shut down the world. How did 2020 go for you?
2020 was a challenge 😜 There were plenty of things I planned that I didn’t end up doing 🙃 but all in all, it wasn’t a wasted year 😊
Thank you very much for taking the time. I've been brain dumping for a little while now. I just haven't realized that I have been brain dumping. Go figure right. My thing is I do it in numerous places. Instead of all in one spot. Now I see there is method to the madness and I will utilize this to the fullest. Along with your printouts. I appreciate you being down to earth. Thank you.
NICE voice nails(hands) book handwriting pen selection and everything. I just notice the small things. Happy 2020
Enjoyed the video (my first of yours). Loved your nails!
This video is amazing,🤗 I don't know how I ran into your channel but thank goodness👍 I did........💖💖💖.
So many of my love ones are trying to plan my life but you just reminding me to set my own direction.
Yes girl! It's your life to live! Friends and family who love us can always give advice but in the end, the choices are yours to make 😁 Live your life well!
Such an awesome set of videos. This is the second time today I watched this one. 😍 Thank you for your insights and inspiration. 👌💫
Thank you so much for your kind words! I've really enjoyed putting this together :)
This is awesome! I did a full brain dump several years ago and the list scared me, so I quit. lol. However, many of those things on my list are still lurking, so ignoring them isn't working either. It's time to try this again and follow through in 2020. Thanks for the video!
A good brain dump could very well be intimidating!! Ignoring important tasks and information is never good. The key is to patiently build a system & rhythm for your brain and lifestyle and try again :D Best wishes!
Informative and Helpful. Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for your video❣️ Very helpful
I just ordered my Powersheets bundle. So excited! I really enjoy your videos. They’re comprehensive and organized.
Yayyyyyyyyyyy! I hope you love them 😁 Glad to help!
Very helpful. Thanks!
Thank you for this video. It's really motivated me.
Yay!! I'm glad to hear that 😁
I have never watched any of your videos before so this was new to me. Very insightful and very interesting. I'm a goal oriented person but sometimes bigger goals get muddled up with little goals and vice versa for me. Thank you for some wonderful ideas on how to better structure them for the new year.😊
Just watching this today as I am working on my planner. You are very bright and have good insight on who you are and what you need out of life. Also your voice is beautiful and calming! Thanks for the video it is exactly what I need this morning. I'll be doing a brain dump today :)
Aw thank you!! I really appreciate it! glad to be here :)
Thank you for the very inspirational and useful video. It definitely helped adding more possibilities and ways to improve ourselves.
This is the first video i see of yours and i appreciate alot of the topics that you tackled, i feel very inspired by your approach to things and i just wanna say that your laugh was absolutely a blessing to hear 💛
Excellent presentation. Thank you!
This was exactly what I needed right now. Thank you Elyssa :)
This is a game changer. So glad I stumbled across this video. Thank you!
This is SO SO VERY VERY GOOD!!!!
Thank you for sharing your process, i found it so helpful! A suggestion for sending greeting cards - Michael’s occasionally has boxed sets of cards on sale for $5, so does hobby lobby, but I find Michael’s are cuter! Have a envelope addressing day, buy the stamps ahead of time, and maybe even write out the cards ahead of time. 🤗
Awesome idea!!! Thank you 😁
An addressing day ! How awesome!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing this is extremely helpful for my 2020 planning and productivity.
Side note: Cute nail color! What is it??
right? it's gorgeous!
It looks like a dusty rose color
Just found your page, and it’s amazing! I’m definitely interested in the mission statement video!
Oh my goodness your handwriting is so pretty! 😊 #goals
I love this video. It really makes you think and contemplate the future. Great tips
I'd love to see you actually plot your plan... thanks for the video!
Excellent video! Great encouragement and I loved the prompts! Will definitely be using them. I just found your channel and I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. Just subscribed to your channel. ♥️
Thank you so much for you sharing. It was beneficial. I never heard of brain dump
LOVE your nail polish lol!

Yay! Awesome!
I never really understood brain dumping and setting goals always intimidated me!! Thank you thank you for this! You have a new follower! :)
Just came across your channel , and this is a great video. Brain dumping is definitely something I have been wanting to do and need to do honestly. Thanks for sharing.
Great Job, you are awesome!
Such gorgeous hands! Your manicure is lovely!
I loves this!
Thank you so much!
this helped me so much. thank you! it really helped me sort out my head, especially the questions about the coming year you prepared, i started there :)
Thank you for teaching an “old dog” new tricks!
I really liked how you use the brain dump! Is there any place to get copies of your worksheets?
The blog post with the download is in the description box
I say it EVERY year!! Lmao truest words were never spoken 😆
Great video and very inspiring! I am getting into brain dumping :) please keep posting!
SO HELPFUL!!☺️ Thank you so much
are you going to do a video on how you'r going to use your goals and plan them in a planner? that would be awesome!
I definitely hope to do so! Stay tuned 😊
Thank you and good job on this video.
This is really helpful. Thank you.
Would you mind sharing info on your dot grid notebook please? I'd be interested in purchasing a few. In my experience it's almost impossible to find a decent quality inexpensive dot grid notebook & it happens to be my preferred median to write on. I currently use the INKWELL Press dot grid notebook. It has wonderful quality paper but it's also on the pricer side & has a very limited amount of pages. I use my dotard notebook for mind mapping & brain dumps mostly. I be fair, I tend to brain dump monthly & mind map quarterly (bc I do quarterly goals) resulting in my notebooks filling up at a rapid pace. Thanks.
I just found your channel & I'm REALLY enjoying this mini series. I find how people choose to invest their time & intentionally plan for their futures fascinating. Good ideas come from an open mind & exposing oneself to a variety of options. My thanks for being brave enough to share yours =)
Thank you so much for your kind words! I need to do more brain dumps like you do!
I got the dot grid from Walmart 😁
