I’m definitely one of those silent loyal watchers that will like every Instagram post but struggle with liking and commenting on RUclips videos and I’m also definitely trying to change that and interact more with the creators that I admire. It not only boosts their channel but also builds a stronger sense of community, so it’s honestly always a win win! Absolutely love the way you broke down this video and the super intentional goals and priorities you have set for yourself! Just know even when you’re deep in the imposters syndrome, there are people out there who admire you and love your channel because you show up as you and that is absolute best content anyone could create🫶
I honestly really appreciate your candor in the first few minutes of the video! I clicked thinking to myself how admirable a monthly reset is, but also thinking about how overwhelming that feels to try to implement in my own life. I like how you mentioned wanting to shift resets to when you feel like you need them. Love the realistic goal setting tips!
Honestly it can be super overwhelming to not know where to start but I believe it's as simple or complicated as you make it! If a whole reset feels overwhelming maybe start with 1-2 goals total you want to work towards in a new month! And also you can pave your own way with a monthly reset- maybe you enjoy journalling/reflecting and you could try that and also trial/error what works for you! Carve out some time on a Sunday morning with a nice cup of coffee to just reflect on the month and go from there!!
Hi Carter! I love the way your habit tracker is set up visually. What app are you using?
Another consistent but silent viewer here - you have inspired me to leave a comment and to do so more often for content I enjoy watching! I love keeping up with your “normal” but beautiful, successful, and exciting life. I get inspiration from you for budget, reads, decor, and thrifting all the time! 😊
I just realized I don’t know that I’ve ever really commented on your videos because I love saving them for when I’m cooking or doing dishes.
I admire how you juggle it all. I really hope you make more content for small channels/beginners about the behind the scenes, but you’re honestly one of my fave comfort vlogs.
Thanks for sharing it all with us ❤️
Silent watcher or not I appreciate you!! ❤️ I'm trying to share more of the behind the scenes in vlogs this year, tbh I wasn't sure if anyone cared about it. But my DM's are always open if you have any Q's or want advice (not that I'm an expert but I can try and help)!
I look forward to these reset and reflection videos. I like how you visualize what’s been going well with yourself and what are somethings that you need to work on. It definitely helps others like myself be more vigilant with my own life. I can also put you on my tv and listen to you talk while I get stuff done. It’s also good to look back a little bit and see what areas can be improved. But also look at the positives on the good things that happened. Even if they are small.
I think I’m gonna try doing a no spend week each month. I’m planning a trip to Colorado to see the national parks and mountains at the end on May. And this would help with saving.
You are amazing! I love your videos, personality and overall vibe! 🩵💕
I hope you are proud of yourself. You have great self awareness and just wanting to work on yourself and ve able to show up better for your future self and future family is admiral.
This is so kind! I'm definitely not perfect but I am trying to just reflect inward and remember that it's not just me now. I have a partner and the qualities that I wanna work on also affect our relationship and I always just wanna be the best version of myself that I can❤️
u are one of my new fav comfort creators. you feel like the older sister i never had but always wanted as i get into my twenties :') (i'm 23)
❤your content, Carter! My favorite comfort RUclipsr for sure. And you’re always inspiring me to read more. Glad you started the Bear- it’s so gorgeous to watch (but it def spiked my anxiety a bit with those intense kitchen scenes) ❤
Omg yesss some of the scenes are so intense! But now we walk around saying "corner chef" "yes chef" 🤣
I’ve been loving Cozy K and Mara McGinnis! Both are cozy hobbies, Mara focuses on journaling. They’re both great 😊
Ah I love them both!!! 💗
I watch Cozy K also! Love her content 🌈☕
I thought you sped up your videos when you had audiobooks playing! I can’t imagine listening on 2! Good for you! Love the content you provide!
I always look forward to all of your videos. I love the monthly resets too! I have read 5 books this month!!
I really enjoy watching “Morgan Long” RUclips videos. She’s definitely another comfort creator of mine. 💓
Morgan has been a comfort creator of mine for years, love her content 🥹🫶🏻
I was such a lurker viewer for like months until I realized I was obsessed with your channel and finally subscribed 😅❤ I found you after being suggested by Vic in the Meadow!
Have really been loving watching comfort RUclipsrs so I appreciate the rec's this vlog! Thank you for sharing your life with us 🫶
I’m usually a silent watcher, but what you said about comments made me write this one :)
Thank you for your long form videos, your banter - you keep me company in the mornings, like I’m sitting with a friend!
Love it! 😍
I love the monthly resets, but I definitely understand you don’t always feel like filming them! Maybe for those months you don’t feel like setting goals, you could just do a monthly recap. The recaps of books read/spending/tv shows watched is actually my favorite part of the resets. Thank you for giving us such cozy content!!
I thought of doing it that way too because next month for example I probably won't set goals knowing that we're gonna be on vacation, but I would love to recap the books that I read and my favs! 💗
I always love your reset videos! I love the focus on new to you creators. Always so fun to find new ones.
What app was your habit tracker?
HabitKit!!! I'm beating myself up now for forgetting to mention the name of the app🤣
I think it's amazing that you take the time to reflect and improve yourself. So many ppl wander through life without taking responsibility for their actions or wanting to be better(case in point - the commenter at the bottom 🙄) Here to let you know - I like you just the way you are. Flaws and everything. I believe most of your followers do too. Hope you have a lovely cozy evening after our fresh snowfall. 🙂
This is so kind! I'm not perfect but I always want to do better and be better ❤️ Yes very cozy evening at home with spaghetti & a glass of wine!!
I’m like you - the invisible loyal watcher and video creator who never comments 😂 you’ve inspired me to change that! Love your chatty videos. I’m originally from the outskirts of Ottawa so watching your content feels super comforting and relatable for me. Thanks for another great video! 💛
Yes it's been so fun commenting on videos and reels and just spreading love. There's so much hate and negativity in the world that we could all use abit more kindness and happiness!! Thanks for being here Grace, I appreciate you! xo
I have also struggled imposter syndrome & something that really helped me was writing one thing I’m grateful and one thing I’m proud of or that I’ve accomplished every day. Recommended by my therapist. I did that for 6+ mo (most days). I don’t write those every day anymore because I feel like it has helped me have a mindset shift & I’m recognizing gratitude and accomplishments throughout my day now… but I do them every month in my reset which is really nice. I hope you find including your accomplishments in your monthly resets helpful as well 😊
I was doing this for awhile and then fell off so maybe this is my sign to start doing it again!!
I missed these ❤️ thank you for doing these! These are my favorite videos
I wish i had a way to explain this game me and my husband play in lines at Disney!!! It’s this game where you each hold up one finger on each hand in front of you. Whoever goes first hits the other with their 1 finger, and now that person has to put up another-totaling two. If you can eliminate all their fingers on both hands you win. It’s really fun and gets really competitive, and sometimes people around you start to watch and root for you! We taught two kids how to play it in Rockin’ Rollercoaster line and their parents were like “God bless you strangers”
I usually listen to audio books at 2.5x 😅 sometimes lower if the narrator speaks quicker or if it’s hard to understand. But I have adhd so the faster pace keeps me focused and not get bored or distracted
I’ve always been a silent follower but this year trying to comment more as well! I don’t know what video you mentioned this in so I’ll comment it here but you showed a meal with salad kit and Costco frozen chicken nuggets and I tried it today and it’s amazing!
I’ve never commented on your channel before but I was so excited when you mentioned fern!! I was about to comment her as my favourite cozy channel but you clearly already know her!!
I haven’t been a viewer of yours for long but I love your content and am excited to keep being a viewer :) I find you to be very relatable and there’s something so comforting about watching fellow canadians 🤎
First of all welcome to our little corner of the internet, so happy to have you here 🥹🫶🏻 I also love watching fellow Canadian creators, always looking for more!
Love, love your videos! Thank you for being open, fun and chatty! New creator I’ve like is Erin with an E - she mentioned you are one of her fave creators in a video earlier this month.
Ah yes I've been watching her videos🥰
Hey Carter, Happy Thursday. girl you deserve a week break, you work hard on your RUclips content. Your true supporters will be here when you get back. That’s so cool my mom’s birthday is in February as well, hers is February 13. You are definitely one of my comfort creators along with Jeanna unfiltered, Karrie Lynn, Kelly Korner, Ashley’s busy life/Ashley Forbes, Sincerely Becka/Happily ever Becka, MarieLove Asbury, Whitney Pea, Lauren Yarbrough, Jessbeingme, etc ( I have too many comfort RUclipsrs basically anyone I am subscribed to I find comforting). I enjoy watching RUclips regardless of my mental health status but youtube definitely helps me escape reality. 😊🥰
I loveee watching your videos, they make me feel like I'm chatting with a friend while I do chores! When I found out you have emetophobia, I felt even closer to you as well, as I also struggle with it. Thank you for being so open by talking about your mental health ❤
I feel like it's something no one talks about and I know I feel less alone when other creators share their struggles ❤ Thanks for being here, I appreciate you xo
As long as we see the cruise content post whenever you’re ready! I’m excited to see the cruise! I also like all the analytics!
I pinky promise there will be a cruise vlog🥰
@ holding you to it!❤️
This gave me the motivation I needed to plan for February! I started planning my goals and my TBR while watching.
P.S. as an accountant I would love hearing how you handle business expenses. My husband brought his gaming RUclips back this year and I've been telling him all the fun stuff that he can do with business expenses.
Love this! I hired an accountant as soon as I incorporated my business 2 years ago and it was the BEST thing I ever did! I prefer to do my own bookkeeping since I'm super Type A so just trying to get into a monthly habit of putting everything into QuickBooks (but I do forget some months hehe). I think it's really cool because different niches on social media can write off different things! For me, it's a lot of books, trips we film, clothing for events, items needed for brand deals (if I filmed a dinner collab I expense all the tablescape items/food needed) we're at someone like your husband in the gaming area can obviously write off like games they review, etc.. so it's really cool to see how different niches write off different things!
@@CarterSullivan From what I can tell you definitely have your books under control compared to what I've seen! I always loving hearing how different businesses handle their finances and what items they can write off. We normally don't handle social media influencers so I think you're the first influencer that I've seen fully break down and explain what you (and your accountant) write off. I plan on taking over my husbands books when he gets monetized and can't wait to see what we can do with his expenses.
@ I definitely get really nervous about it cause it's such a new field of work in terms of like expenses and what not😅 so I honestly don't write off probably nearly enough because I'm scared hahahaha but basically anything that I can just justify that I needed to create content I can expense!
Thanks for the RUclips channel recommendations, they are great! I’m now obsessed with cozyplantlady. 😊
She is so great!
I really enjoy you removing the 4th wall and sharing your behind the scenes stuff. Thanks!
I’m glad you like it! I try to be as transparent as I can about the behind the scenes/business stuff!
Your videos always make me smile when I am feeling down
This is so kind! I hope you find some small joys to look forward to today xo
Usually I’m super focused on getting steps in by walking outside. When the weather isn’t ideal I get less steps in the day but still feel great if I did some sort of exercise activity even just a RUclips workout.
I’ve been enjoying cozyplantlady from your older recommendations ❤ Some of my faves are Hannah Lee Duggan, Isabel Paige, and Cari Cakes!
Ou I'll have the check them out! Love Cari🥰
Hi! I’ve been watching your channel for sometime and you inspired me to create more content that I truly love. Do you have any advice for new creators on RUclips?
My fave type of videos! Your content always puts me in a good mood! Thank you
You are so welcome! Thanks for being here Stephanie! xo
I just did my January reflection and February planning yesterday. Would love to hear your fav TT creators. Great video ❤
I could talk about my fav TT creators for days, will defintely include in the next reset!!!
7:03 I quit 75 hard (it just wasn't for me) but one thing I took from it is the 2 45-minute "workouts" a day. I was trying to workout and do 10,000 steps and it was a LOT! So now I get I pick which combo workout class/45 minute walk or 2 workout classes or just 1.5 hours of walking! Getting steps in really feels like you've just topped off the day after a workout.
Yea I'm quickly realizing it's ALOT! I think in previous seasons of life doing alot of walking/getting outside was all I could do as I was trying to find a new normal with my long-covid but now that I feel comfortable working out and have the energy for it I can't be doing it all. I have to find a good balance on those workout days!
love your yappy videos! i'm a 2x-2.25x speed audiobook listener but it depends how i'm listening (like headphones I can go faster than my car). So happy you enjoyed Kaitlyn's books!
OK GLAD IT ISN'T JUST ME!! I slow down my audiobooks in the car (probs because I'm focused on driving) 🤣🤣
grabbing my matcha to listen to this!
I have been watching your videos for years and I love all of your content! ❤ I can’t wait for your cruise vlog - I am going on my first Disney cruise for my honeymoon in May!
Omg so fun!!! I can't wait for our cruise (I'm a wee bit nervous/anxious as well) but I hope vlogging it helps distract me from worrying too much lol!
Beg, Borrow or Steal! So glad you shouted out the book 🫶🏼
SOOO GOOD
Can’t wait to watch this and hangout! I need a boost!
Enjoy!!!!
ive been loving @cari cakes!! her videos are very calming to watch, shes also a creator in korea
I LOVE CARI!!! I've been watching both of her channels for years🤭🤭🤭
I also just started a RUclips channel a few months ago! You are definitely one of my biggest inspirations ❤
I also have to watch every PLL alum in everything they do 😂 haven’t watching on call yet but it’s on my list
OK I am commenting this in the middle of the video because you made me giggle with your tee hee hee about how many books you have on your TBR 😂 DYING 🤣
I am a child at heart clearly 🤣
My husband and I both thought back in action was cute!
So cute!!
Leaving a comment just to make your day even better ❤ thanks for sharing Carter 😊
This made my day so thank you❤️
i love getting inspo from your videos 🤗 i’ve been working on my own little channel lately 🤭
I love that!!!
I listen to my audiobooks on 1.35 usually. I feel like if I go faster I'm more likely to miss details 😅
Love the goal tracker idea I'm the same. I like cozy plant lady as well. Very relaxing to watch. I found a newer creater Elle Garenne. Been loving her content as well. Hope you have a great rest of the week. Make sure you take time off of vlogging. You deserve many vacations ❤
Ou I'm going to check her out, thank you for sharing!!
I'm often a silent watcher! I've tried to be better about leaving comments, because as a small RUclipsr myself, I know how much not only do I enjoy reading them and engaging with/learning more about my community, but I know how much it helps push people's videos out to potential new audiences❤🙏😊☕
What habit tracker do you use? I’m excited to start!!
This is me, realizing I never shared the app I was using🥹 it's called HabitKit!
I’ve been loving Caroline McQuistin videos recently!
Love her!!! We're clearly on the same wavelength because I talked about her in this video🥰
Haha I paused and commented before you actually listed them 😅
When I'm in a line or on a long trip I play memory games like " name as many athletes you can" "name as many countries as you can in alphabetical order" or set a timer and say "name as many (insert thing here) as you can in 2 minutes)
Have you read the Filthy Rich Vampire books? I thought they were pretty good but since you weren't interested in the Fae one I was wondering if you compared them
@@tarajazdzewski5216 I haven't! I had a few people say they didn't like it as much as Filthy Rich Fae so I was unsure if I'd read but I may give them a go to see ☺️
Thank you so so much Carter For Always Brighten up My Day Special with your new Vlogs and I am Watching your Vlogs since years ago and I really really appreciate you so so so much sending you lots of love to you💗✨🥹 May God Bless You Always Always
You're the best Mansoor! Thanks for taking the time to comment on all of my videos and support me xo
What habit tracking app do you use? By the way, I love to watch you and enjoy every one of your videos!❤
Its called HabitKit!!
@ Thank you very much! Greetings from Serbia! ❤️🌷
I see Jessica from Cultivation Therapy Services. She’s in Ottawa if you’re looking for in person sessions. You remind me so much of myself and I have been seeing her for years. She’s changed my life ❤
@@caitlowen thanks for the rec!! I'm looking for virtual (just more comfortable with that) but I'll reach out and see if she offers that! 🥰
Great stuff!
Shameful plug for my own content hehe but I love these videos... literally goals to be able to synthesize my months like this!
What markers do you use for coloring?
@@patriciaanderson7104 ohuhu'
Yeah i find that my steps are either 2,000 a day or 12,000 a day lol. So now I have the goal set not to get a lot every day, but just to do at least 5,000 a day. So for the days that I am just working, i remember to go on a walk or clean to get my steps in. Love your vids!
Honestly, I love that idea! Especially just find it harder in the winter when it's so cold here... and now that we have a backyard for the dogs, we definitely don't walk them as much in the winter on cold days🥲😅 but I have a walking pad and I have not been using it so I need to get into the habit again!
I also made it a goal this year to be better about interacting with the content creators I enjoy watching on RUclips and seeing on Instagram! I think I felt shy/awkward at first about reaching out like that but as silly as it is, I just have to keep reminding myself that they're people too. 😅 Social media has given me some of my closest friends and it can be such a great space to interact with others, if I'm just brave enough to put myself out there a little.
I felt the same way I was like oh is this weird for me to like reach out to other creators? But then I remembered that the people that go out of their way to reach out to me literally make my day sometimes even my week and so I wanna do the same for others🥰❤️
Love On Call show!
For smaller creators, I like to watch Katherout videos. I enjoy her editing style and the conversations she has with subscribers 😊
Ou I'll have to check her out!
we will still be here if you take a break! relax and get those memories in
Hey Carter! What is the habit tracking app you use?
Habitkit!!
I might've missed it, but what is the name of the habit tracker you're using?! :D
@@lizmwheeler_ don't worry you didn't miss it. I just completely forgot to mention it like the silly person I am🤣🤣🤣🤣The app is "HabitKit"
@@CarterSullivan Amazing! Thank you so much! :D
What a great video thank you for the inspiration. I might post a video similar to this. Love it
Ohhhhh no. I was going to try Better Help. Why is it not good ?
What is the app you’re using to habit track?
@@jelly96music HabitKit!
we were here on PC is so fun and cheap! also obsessed with phasmaphobia but that's spooky
@@saraurba3666 we only have a switch and xbox!!
@CarterSullivan i believe we were here is on xbox but also grounded is fun and cross platform
@ oh amazing!
Some channels I recently started watching breaavril, she has some cozy vlogs. I also have been watching planner and journal channels like, thecoffeemonsterzco and tiffany's plans, and Jashii Corrin, and planning calm! Other channels: Beautifullymeandyou, celissa from this channel does budget and saving videos, Nomadic Introvert and WinterisBlu are van life/travel channels.
I LOVE watching Jaclyn Brooke (lifestyle), Abby Asselin (lifestyle), Lottie Smalley (bookish), Zoe Pritchard (finance/lifestyle), and smileycitrus (finance/lifestyle).
I have been watching all of them for years, love them all 🥰
Used to be an invisible viewer, but just love inserting myself into anything 😅😂
BAHAHAHA THIS COMMENT MADE MY DAY
Yall can play Ticket to Ride on your phone in lines!
@@leahlong5573 is it a 2 player game? The only
Thing with playing games on your phone is it drains the battery so fast🥲 Luckily we have a system in place where we hopefully won't have to wait in many long queues this trip with the after hours event & LLMP!
@ Yes you pass it back and forth! Basically you are building train lines and trying to get the most haha
I'm also kind of a silent watcher, especially on IG! 🙈 I'm trying to be better at interacting with my favorite creators to show support & boost their engagement
Thank you for making a donation to support the LA firefighters
Of course!! It's so important to me as my Dad is a firefighter and I truly believe in giving back to communities monthly!

@@sierrarose902 its on our list! Just already have a few on the go and 3 shows is our max at a time 🤣
@ hahah respect, it definitely calls for your full attention! When you’re ready, buckle up baby!!!
For RUclipsr recommendations, I also love Caroline Winkler and Morgan Evelyn Cook.
Omg I love Morgan!! I found her a few months ago and have been binging all her videos. I'm gonna go check out Caroline Winkler now too, thanks for the rec!
Caroline is the best!
Look up Linnea and Akela....she built and lives in her van with her amazing dog, well now she has some land but anyways. I LOVE her. She makes me so happy to watch! Beautiful visuals! Sweet woman!
Ou I need to look her up now!
@CarterSullivan please let me know if you love her too 😆
I second this! Her channel gives me a different appreciation for simple things in life
It Takes Two almost caused a divorce for us lol I’m kidding, but it’s ironic due to the plot of the game. Seriously though, we were getting very frustrated when we got stuck so we deleted it. 🤷♀️
I felt it was very disengenuous when all the tik tokers came to YT saying they missed it so much and haven’t posted since tik tok came back 🤦♀️.
@@elizabeththompson1525 I also noticed this! I get that TT may be their main platform though so I get them moving back over there but it felt like YT was always just a backup🥲
@@CarterSullivan exactly. I just didn’t want them taking brand deals from the real ones like you
Hi Carter. I know you've mentioned, quite often, about your PTSD and disliking crowds. If you're comfortable with sharing, I'm curious what happened. I don't recall seeing a vlog where you've talked about it. That being said, I've only been a subscriber for about a year. Anyway, just wanted to pause and ask that. Back to the video. 😊
@@curleq77 of course! I've talked about it here and there and some Q&A's but there's always gonna be new people, of course! I was involved in a bomb scare incident at a US airport in 2017
