  • “Being thankful is key to feeling thankful and happy. Focus on the positive, focus on the good.” - This is the first personal vlog I’ve posted in almost a year… picking up where I last left off… Week 17. As shared in the previous vlog, “Why I Haven’t Been Posting” (link here if you’ve missed it: • Why I Haven't Been Pos... ), I got help with adding closed captions to these personal vlogs so I will start posting these weekly again on Tuesdays, as before. Thanks for watching!! :) I genuinely hope you get something out of these personal vlogs. It has been interesting watching these personal vlogs a year after they were filmed. I’m reminded of what I’ve learned and it has helped me with making better decisions this year.
    Being thankful is really key to improve your life- it changes your outlook on life, it makes you more appreciative of what you do have as you work towards for what you do want to have, your goals & dreams.
    It does take discipline at first, at least it did for me, to be thankful but it’s definitely a discipline worth practicing. :)
    If you’d like to start practicing gratitude but not sure where to start, I’d suggest writing down 3-5 things you’re thankful for every morning for a few weeks and go from there. :) This is how I started.
    Thanks again for watching!! :)

    Great video, but when you're feeling or getting stressed out think of your time as a precious gift and ask yourself does that thing and or person thats upsetting you really deserve that gift of your time and if your getting stressed out over your video editing remember we are going to watch no matter what you put out. Keep your head up you're AWESOME 👍

      Aw, thanks! The only way to really overcome fear is to just do it... I've learned that the more you do it, the less afraid you will be. :) Is there anything you would like to do but you're scared to do? Or something you've always wanted to do but haven't started yet?

      @@signedwithheart funny you say that - I’ve been recording some music lately for the first time. I don’t love my singing voice, but it’s the only one I have haha And I turns out, it’s not so bad! : ) I’ve been scared for a long time of what I, or others might think of it, but now that I’ve started, it’s quite satisfying!
      That’s why I appreciate these vlogs. You’re working through it like I am - very inspiring!

    Yay great job!!!! That's amazing. Weight loss can be so difficult for us women so I'm really happy because I've been able to feel the same happiness and gratefulness for feeling better. I'm down 17 pounds and like 14 inches so it's awesome to feel good again!! I loved this video. I also liked the analogy of the plants and as soon as you said plants I thought to myself it represents personal growth and then you said growth. I thought that was cool. Keep it up, you're doing amazing!! ❤

    I need to learn to keep things more concise as well! The new book sounds intriguing for me. Never really thought about the time it takes for someone to put on or take off makeup. Congrats on your weight loss journey! You look very healthy and I know how great it feels when you use discipline and accomplish goals. I try to focus on positives and keep moving forward and it helps immensely. Have a blessed evening!

    • @signedwithheart
      @signedwithheart  3 года назад +1

      I've learned that planning ahead (and setting goals) helps with keeping things more concise. The book was kind of hard to read but it was good... the main takeaway I got from the book is that everyday is really a new day!! We have to be disciplined with our thought life, our first thoughts set the tone for the day... so we gotta direct our mind in the right direction with with positive thoughts. Thanks again for watching!! :) Have a great week!

    Wow, what a great video. I really enjoyed this one. It's always a pleasure to watch your videos and your journey and you really "said" some powerful things in this one to make me think about things too, with as crazy as they get sometimes.
    Of course I also learned some new signs and the way some are done by watching the video, which is always appreciated and I always enjoy.
    As always I'll be looking forward to the next one.
    Thanks again for posting these
    Have a great week

    Just a suggestion, but you can edit out the parts that aren’t “getting to the point” and then you have less to caption. Maybe that would relieve some stress! 😃

    • @signedwithheart
      @signedwithheart  3 года назад +2

      But I already said at the beginning of the year (beginning of the vlogging journey) I would share raw footage all the way through the year. 😅 And thankfully, I now have help with CC but I didn't have help at the time when this was filmed so I was really overwhelmed hence why I had not been posting these vlogs for almost a year. But thanks for the suggestion. It's something I'm going to try in another video series. :)

    Would using your voice as you sign not cut down on closed caption? I wish you would use your voice because it helps me keep focused on you instead of down trying to read the English version of your conversations!

    • @signedwithheart
      @signedwithheart  3 года назад

      I don't use my voice when I sign. Really, only with my Dad. Because I have to or he wouldn't understand me, hah. RUclips doesn't understand my voice yet... so I still would need to add CC to all videos. I do realize that the fonts are a bit too small, but in the future vlogs, I will be using RUclips's on/off captions and they are much bigger, hopefully that will make it easier for you to read and watch. :)
