Who's already start thinking about your goals? Let me know if any of this resonated with you today!!! (And if my videos have helped you, please share with a friend!)
I did not follow my plans this quarter at all. I got into a funk and am finally coming out the other side. I am thinking about my goals for 2023 as it is also the year I turn 40. 🎉
I've been following you and this channel for over a year now. I've never felt more confident that I will 1) set REASONABLE goals and, 2) that I'm on the right path to achieving them.
I just had to switch this off and come back to it. Holy what the heck. A goal is just a moment in time and it won’t set you up for life. There will always be another goal. I’ve lived this a thousand times why did that hit me right between the eyes …. Thank you for making this NOW before I start another year with too much effort for zero to little reward. 13:18 We plan as if we’re going to show up differently than where we are now. Again - picks jaw up from floor
For me, my mom always told me that no matter how far or fast you run you will always run into yourself. I think it has been healthier to recognize what I am willing to put the effort toward rather than jumping into who I think I should be. I love seeing people that are put together with hair and nail and makeup and accessories all done.... probably never going to be me. But I can start with getting my hair done quarterly.
I've rewatched this a few times since you published it. It's really helpful for me whenever I watch a video on rapid releasing or '50k in 3 days' writathons. I start trying to set insane goals, and I have to tell myself to chill out and 'meet myself where I am.' When I get ahead of myself, I don't just burn my candle at both ends... I toss my candle straight into the fire and melt it into a blob. 😂
On another channel, I saw a method of goal setting, that reminded me of another thing I had come across and that all gelled in my mind. And it is just another way of saying what you are saying. But, sometimes people learn things in different ways, so I thought I could type it up here, in case it resonates with someone else. First a tiny back story. The previous thing I had come across was "but first..." syndrome (Thanks FlyLady!). Which means that you see something or think of something that needs to be done, but first...you need to do this other thing, but to do that thing, but first you need to do this third thing...And so on, a "not so good" habit, because the first thing never gets done, because of perfectionism. The goal thing was to work backwards from your goal in steps in order to figure out what steps you need to fulfill your goal. Combining the two, it finally clicked for me, that I could use that to break down my goals into ever smaller steps. (I've always just thought of GOAL!, but not how to get there, as you said above). So, my new method: Take a goal - and write it at the top of a sheet of paper, or preferred note taking place. Then under it, write the "but first". you need to finally get that goal Then under it, write the "but first" you need to get to the above step Then under it, write the "but first" you need to get to the previous step And so on, till you get to something that you can start today. A single step you can take right now with no "But first". Then you now know every step you need to do to the goal, it can help you see in a visual manner how long it might take to get there, and with each step on the ladder, you are preparing yourself climbing to the next rung (like you said, start with the person you are today, take each step to get to the new you!). So, that worked for my brain. I hope it helps someone else to "click".
You did it! 60.3k and one more day to go ❤️ I can relate with sacrificing everything and it not paying off. I am so in debt over working for a college degree as a single mom of two only to reach my childhood dream of being a teacher and not being able to support my family and society telling me (and every other teacher) that we are nothing but complete trash.
My favorite part... You reminding us that we set goals because of how we think achieving that goal will make us feel, but that we shouldn't lose track of how we feel along the way. It's such an important thing to remember, and yet, so easy to forget about.
I don’t know what kind of magic you use but somehow you say exactly what I need to hear. Resonate really isn’t a strong enough word. I moved into my own house this past September. I think I had hoped it would fix everything. It did make my life so much better but my mental illness is still with me. I empathised so hard when you said that you got there into the house and then were pissed that you weren’t happy as that is me right now. It’s frustrating and disappointing and I am sad. This is my fresh start and I feel like I am ruining it. But what you said about goals being a compass point, not a thing of themselves is something I need to take to heart. I have still made progress and I need to not dismiss that like I always do. Nothing matters if I don’t meet the target but then I just constantly disappoint myself so like you said negative momentum. Honestly I could quote your whole video. You are so relatable with this. Changing my mental feelings seems impossible but I may just watch this on repeat until it drums into my head 😂 thank you!
Doggone it, I want to be the Pinterest board me right now!! Seriously, though, this was hugely helpful! Thank you for the wonderful reality check and helping to pick my goals for this year.
I really wish I could go back and hug my past self who set goals for the year in January and beat myself up when March came and I was already behind. There there, it's okay. "Setting goals is like setting your location on your mental GPS..." I think I heard my brain explode when you said that, Sarra. Plus I can set goals in 90 day increments? Another brain blast. I really needed to hear this right now. And perfect timing for me to join the HB90 as my birthday is next week (it'll be my gift to myself). I also feel excited about 2023. It's gonna be my year! Thanks, Sarra :-)
Thank you. This is why I sing your praises. Because I need this and so many other creatives need. You can’t be an artist and not get grace. Again thank you.
This was maybe the best video I've seen on your channel (and I always enjoy your content )-- and one of those times that make you wish there was a way to hit "Like" twice (or even subscribe twice!). Here's to a stellar 2023!
Yessssss!!! My gawd I’ve been struggling with this for the past couple years! Thank you for putting it into words and giving us a solution. I wish I could like this video 1,000 times!
I was just thinking how i should change my goal setting because none of my goals end up making me happy and seem kind of flat. Thank you so much for this amazing video!
I can’t wait for December 11th - HB90 Q1 launch day!! If anyone happens to see this comment, you should consider HB90. Next quarter will be my second using the system. I didn’t achieve more this quarter than I would have - quite possibly the opposite. But what I wanted to achieve would have left me massively burned out and wasn’t even aligned with my vision for my life, so in the long run it is much better this way. The self kindness of this system is really something. HB90 takes toxic productivity and flips it on it’s head. I have a feeling next quarter I will get more done than I have in a long time AND it will be in the right direction.
Such relevant statements about starting where we actually are and not where we wish we were. But 2023 is for me! I know it in my bones (that or it's the 65 years catching up with me! lol). I am doing things I enjoy and putting less pressure on myself. I know I have to build in more 'down' time. I am also at the age where I can audit 1 class a semester at UNC-Charlotte (your old stomping grounds). And since gardening is a big part of me, I am enrolled, starting in February, to become a Master Gardener in my county. There are several 'new' pulls on my time, while there are old goals which have been hanging around for 20 years now. But I am approaching them much more realistically now. Can't wait!
I never set goals that are dependent on other people's actions. I set goals on my own production activities and then results that involve other people just takes care of themselves.
I always set goals that are outside of my control, because I find it a better metric for determining whether my actions are inspiring the right outcome. But that being said, I also don't give myself a hard time if I don't hit the exact goal. It's a mix for me!
@@HeartBreathings You inspire me so much, by the way. Your videos are what motivate me and keep me focused on my own writing goals. So far, I've written 12 K words this week. Whenever I start to get sidetracked, you motivate me back on track! Thank you so much for all the effort you put into your videos and showing up.
Thank you so much! I was waiting for this. It reminded me to keep my goals aligned with who I want to be rather than what I want to achieve .Thanks again and God Bless!
Thank you, a lot of this really resonated with me. I have a chronic illness (rheumatoid arthritis) and I’ve been trying to make my work from home dreams come true for 10 years now. My vision of what I want has changed often (following what others say I should do or wanting to be like someone else’s) and I just don’t have the energy some days to show up for myself let alone a community who depends on me. I still struggle with which direction to head in, I have so many ideas. I feel like encouraging other moms with RA is the greatest thing I could do but it is also the hardest because I don’t want to fail at it and it takes a toll on me to share my story. There are plenty of things I’m passionate about (planning and reading among them). I tried your hb90 planner today. It is a cloudy and rainy day so of the 20 blocks I had thought I could do, I only got done 10. I think one of my rewards if I achieve the best level of my goals for q1 is to join the hb90 course for q2. 😊
I spent the better part of last night trying to set my goals and choose my planners it was like you heard my struggles LOL thanks for your content I appreciate it
The way I felt seen watching this video... In a good way most of the time haha. I'm very glad I watched this before starting HB90 bootcamp again on Sunday. This really resonated with me across the board, especially given what I want to focus on for next year. Thank you for such an amazing video and content!
Great tips. Glad I watched this video before I work on my business plan for 2023 this weekend. Glad your life is happier, more fulfilling and safer now.
I wasnt financial free until my 40’s and I’m still in my 40’s, bought my second house already, earn on a monthly through passive income and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing is a grand choice I made. Great video! Thanks for sharing! Very inspiring! I love this:
Not quite long I started investing. I'm very curious and need help on how to enhance and increase my returns. Any good investment tips would be appreciated
@@eadad4371 Alright so generally, investing requires higher knowledge. For this reason, It's important to have a solid support structure (financial consultant) to guide you through especially in asset picking. I operate with (REGINA LOUISE COLLARO) an investment advisor who partners with a licensed wealth management firm. For the record, the experience has been the best for my finance. She is quite popular for her services so you might have heard of her. She made me financially stable investing through her help, now I earn on a monthly basis through her passive income strategy...So I’ll advise you do get a good Investment advisor for yourself.
@@skoopqueen. That’s great , your investment advisor must be really good,I have seen testimonies of people using the help of investment advisors in making them more financial stable. Do you mind sharing more info on this person?
@@eadad4371 look her up on the internet and leave her a message she's quite popular for her services as she was recently featured on cnn. She can work with anyone irrespective of where their located
@@skoopqueen. I have had the intentions of starting investing. But I always thought it was late and I think I need to stop procrastinating. I will definitely 🔍 Regina Louise Collaro and see what she can advise .Thanks a lot . This was of so much help to me .
Girl! Girl! You speak truth! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. I truly resonate with you in every area. Thank you again. I will go into 2023 a bit more prepared to fight of overwhelm.
I am a college student and as a college student I agree with you because I have focus to complete the goal I have set and I have become depressed and didn’t felt joy or happy on completing the goal.
Love the idea of breaking the year into quarters. That's definitely going to work best for me as I'm going to be subbing to agents, and obviously have no idea if/when I'll get an acceptance.
I feel as if you're an angel--not even kidding! I just heard of you this year, got the first 3 books in the Shadow Demon series, bought the fourth, and now am watching ALL your videos! How to write a series, How to plot--here's the thing, these are all things I know--intellectually, but had never assimilated. Now I've got your planner for 1st quarter 2023 AND have set up my Kanban board...I feel like a groupie, except I'm 64 years old! So, this whole video spoke to me. thank you so much Sarra! Here's to 60K followers for you!
I recommended the 12 week year by Brian P. Moran and Michael Lennington (they also have a 12 week year for writers that I haven't read but it is on Kindel unlimited)
Discovered your channel just about a month and a half due to Nanowrimo, love all the content!!! Subscribed to help you reach your goals 💕 keep up the great content💪🏽
I want to let you know… I’ve watched a lot of booktubers and authortubers but YOUR channel has been the #1 asset in my indie publishing career, so much that I invested in your course which is also a wealth of knowledge. Though you have a low sub count comparatively, you are my favorite and imho have the most beneficial content. I won’t name names but some channels actually are just entertainment or give no or even detrimental writing advice. I unsubbed to them bc when I actually published my first book I realized they were not serving me on my journey. You are a treasure… and I hope one day less so hidden treasure. I always recommend your channel/courses to other aspiring indie/authors. I also appreciate that you integrate the teaching of ‘magic’ - ie: I follow manifestation and self-improvement and essentialist/minimalist channels as well and you do a really great job of applying the principals of care/attention/belief/will/action the principle of creation to follow our calling as storytellers and follow the path you forged. I really appreciate the humbleness you teach with, and your kindness. I’ve also been struggling with anxiety and depression for the first time in my life since the pandemic began and it’s so frustrating X but I know if there’s a will, there’s a way and I will heal with time and care to myself. Thank you ♥️ ✨ Blessings in the New Year.
PS: shadow work/journaling and working with a therapist has been SO helpful. There are stories we tell ourselves that we believe that aren’t serving us… Treat yourself like you do or wish to treat the person you love the most. Bc you should love yourself. And the only way to heal from past trauma is unfortunately to rip the thorn out / grapple with it.
I always say I love your pep talks! Thank you! I am going to continue to write in 2023 and hopefully I can add some marketing so I start getting sales. 😃
Thank you for this video! I am already planning my 2023 goals and this outlook was so helpful :) I am going to set goals that are within my control and work towards them :) I want to be authentic and true to myself in 2023.
I love the idea of far reaching goals actually being "goal posts". Like you AIM for that, but you have to cross a lot of grass to get there. PS, I don't even watch football LOL
Sometimes achieving a goal is a matter of changing our habits. Stopping bad habits and starting good habits can be difficult. Small steps and one day at a time ⌚ might be less overwhelming for some people.
Sara you are my favorite person on RUclips. Watching your videos fills me up with positivity and you are truly an inspiration for me. A lot of what you said in this video resonates with me. In my twenties, I had the goal of becoming a veterinarian and I did it at all cost. I was sure that I was going to be happy as soon as I hit my goal and when that didn’t happen, I suffered a lot. Like you said, realizing that achieving my goal didn’t make me happy had a compounding effect. Now, I am veterinarian and I am happy, but happiness wasn’t a magical result of achieving my goal.
All of the head nodding, Is this what I really want? - that is a question I have been asking myself since the start of NaNo if I am honest. Thank you for being so open and letting us into your life.
Wonderful video! I really resonated with what you said about the 2D/3D person. I already know that 2023 will be challenging goal wise as I'm going back to a job this Jan that takes all my energy, dare I say soul sucking lol. As a creative I definitely need a way to plan so I don't let it override my creative dreams.

I did not follow my plans this quarter at all. I got into a funk and am finally coming out the other side. I am thinking about my goals for 2023 as it is also the year I turn 40. 🎉
I've been following you and this channel for over a year now. I've never felt more confident that I will 1) set REASONABLE goals and, 2) that I'm on the right path to achieving them.
Me❤️
I just had to switch this off and come back to it. Holy what the heck. A goal is just a moment in time and it won’t set you up for life. There will always be another goal. I’ve lived this a thousand times why did that hit me right between the eyes …. Thank you for making this NOW before I start another year with too much effort for zero to little reward. 13:18 We plan as if we’re going to show up differently than where we are now. Again - picks jaw up from floor
For me, my mom always told me that no matter how far or fast you run you will always run into yourself. I think it has been healthier to recognize what I am willing to put the effort toward rather than jumping into who I think I should be. I love seeing people that are put together with hair and nail and makeup and accessories all done.... probably never going to be me. But I can start with getting my hair done quarterly.
I've rewatched this a few times since you published it. It's really helpful for me whenever I watch a video on rapid releasing or '50k in 3 days' writathons. I start trying to set insane goals, and I have to tell myself to chill out and 'meet myself where I am.' When I get ahead of myself, I don't just burn my candle at both ends... I toss my candle straight into the fire and melt it into a blob. 😂
On another channel, I saw a method of goal setting, that reminded me of another thing I had come across and that all gelled in my mind. And it is just another way of saying what you are saying. But, sometimes people learn things in different ways, so I thought I could type it up here, in case it resonates with someone else. First a tiny back story.
The previous thing I had come across was "but first..." syndrome (Thanks FlyLady!). Which means that you see something or think of something that needs to be done, but first...you need to do this other thing, but to do that thing, but first you need to do this third thing...And so on, a "not so good" habit, because the first thing never gets done, because of perfectionism.
The goal thing was to work backwards from your goal in steps in order to figure out what steps you need to fulfill your goal.
Combining the two, it finally clicked for me, that I could use that to break down my goals into ever smaller steps. (I've always just thought of GOAL!, but not how to get there, as you said above).
So, my new method:
Take a goal - and write it at the top of a sheet of paper, or preferred note taking place.
Then under it, write the "but first". you need to finally get that goal
Then under it, write the "but first" you need to get to the above step
Then under it, write the "but first" you need to get to the previous step
And so on, till you get to something that you can start today. A single step you can take right now with no "But first".
Then you now know every step you need to do to the goal, it can help you see in a visual manner how long it might take to get there, and with each step on the ladder, you are preparing yourself climbing to the next rung (like you said, start with the person you are today, take each step to get to the new you!).
So, that worked for my brain. I hope it helps someone else to "click".
You did it! 60.3k and one more day to go ❤️ I can relate with sacrificing everything and it not paying off. I am so in debt over working for a college degree as a single mom of two only to reach my childhood dream of being a teacher and not being able to support my family and society telling me (and every other teacher) that we are nothing but complete trash.
I love the fact that you should be realistic about your self, your habits set realistic goals!
My favorite part... You reminding us that we set goals because of how we think achieving that goal will make us feel, but that we shouldn't lose track of how we feel along the way. It's such an important thing to remember, and yet, so easy to forget about.
Slow and steady! I think that is what makes success attainable and sustainable.
These are the words of wisdom I needed to hear while planning for 2023. Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart.
I don’t know what kind of magic you use but somehow you say exactly what I need to hear. Resonate really isn’t a strong enough word.

Thank you, Sarra. These tips are great reminders.
I’m thinking about 2023 goals!
Of all your wonderful videos, I think this was my favorite. It was very helpful and helped me clear some cobwebs. Thank you!
I needed this video and your words. It was like you were reading my mind. I just got 3 planners and was looking at them when your video came through.
Well said! Good reminder for all of us. I like the new video location and lighting. Your eyes really pop! (it's a good thing :) )
Girl! Girl! You speak truth! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. I truly resonate with you in every area. Thank you again. I will go into 2023 a bit more prepared to fight of overwhelm.
This was so helpful and beautiful. You are so wise, Sarra. Thank you . I just started writing, and I only wish I more years.
Great talk! My favorite is start with where you are now :). Thanks!
Congratulations on 60k!!👏👏👏👏🎉. Happy New Year 🎉
I am a college student and as a college student I agree with you because I have focus to complete the goal I have set and I have become depressed and didn’t felt joy or happy on completing the goal.
Looks like you hit your subscriber goal! Congrats 💜
Love the idea of breaking the year into quarters. That's definitely going to work best for me as I'm going to be subbing to agents, and obviously have no idea if/when I'll get an acceptance.
OOh, this is wonderful! Congrats to you and wishing you the best and a quick YES from your dream agent!
Just what we needed to hear ❤️
I have recently found you by accident!!!! I am now subscribed 😀... i think u r my tribe !!!!
Thank you so much for these brilliant thoughts and reminders. I am so ready to plan my goals for the new year. I am ready to make my dreams come true.
I feel as if you're an angel--not even kidding! I just heard of you this year, got the first 3 books in the Shadow Demon series, bought the fourth, and now am watching ALL your videos! How to write a series, How to plot--here's the thing, these are all things I know--intellectually, but had never assimilated. Now I've got your planner for 1st quarter 2023 AND have set up my Kanban board...I feel like a groupie, except I'm 64 years old! So, this whole video spoke to me. thank you so much Sarra! Here's to 60K followers for you!
This was perfect. Thank you.
What a fantastic message, I am so excited to get started!
I needed this video. THANK YOU!!
I recommended the 12 week year by Brian P. Moran and Michael Lennington (they also have a 12 week year for writers that I haven't read but it is on Kindel unlimited)
This was a word for me. Thank you!
Discovered your channel just about a month and a half due to Nanowrimo, love all the content!!! Subscribed to help you reach your goals 💕 keep up the great content💪🏽
Loved this video, the insights and tips.😘
I needed to hear this today.
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom! It's given me a healthier perspective on goal setting and work habits 💙
This insight was helpful because I always struggle with my goals. ❤
I want to let you know… I’ve watched a lot of booktubers and authortubers but YOUR channel has been the #1 asset in my indie publishing career, so much that I invested in your course which is also a wealth of knowledge. Though you have a low sub count comparatively, you are my favorite and imho have the most beneficial content. I won’t name names but some channels actually are just entertainment or give no or even detrimental writing advice. I unsubbed to them bc when I actually published my first book I realized they were not serving me on my journey.
You are a treasure… and I hope one day less so hidden treasure. I always recommend your channel/courses to other aspiring indie/authors. I also appreciate that you integrate the teaching of ‘magic’ - ie: I follow manifestation and self-improvement and essentialist/minimalist channels as well and you do a really great job of applying the principals of care/attention/belief/will/action the principle of creation to follow our calling as storytellers and follow the path you forged. I really appreciate the humbleness you teach with, and your kindness. I’ve also been struggling with anxiety and depression for the first time in my life since the pandemic began and it’s so frustrating X but I know if there’s a will, there’s a way and I will heal with time and care to myself. Thank you ♥️ ✨ Blessings in the New Year.
PS: shadow work/journaling and working with a therapist has been SO helpful. There are stories we tell ourselves that we believe that aren’t serving us… Treat yourself like you do or wish to treat the person you love the most. Bc you should love yourself. And the only way to heal from past trauma is unfortunately to rip the thorn out / grapple with it.
I always say I love your pep talks! Thank you! I am going to continue to write in 2023 and hopefully I can add some marketing so I start getting sales. 😃
Great video and tips!! 💙💙💙
Your an inspiration!
Love this - so well stated. Thank you.
I am excited to do you 2023 manifestation class! I hope you are still doing it.
i always love your videos!🥰 thank you!
Love this so much! Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you for this video! I am already planning my 2023 goals and this outlook was so helpful :) I am going to set goals that are within my control and work towards them :) I want to be authentic and true to myself in 2023.
I needed this today!
Great tips- as always. Thank you! ❤ You’re a smartie. Kiss your brain. 💋 🧠
I love the idea of far reaching goals actually being "goal posts". Like you AIM for that, but you have to cross a lot of grass to get there. PS, I don't even watch football LOL
Haha, yes!!
New subscriber Dec 11 , because it's great content ,location on your mental GPS did it for me , I'm rooting for your 60k !!
Sometimes achieving a goal is a matter of changing our habits. Stopping bad habits and starting good habits can be difficult. Small steps and one day at a time ⌚ might be less overwhelming for some people.
Love 💕 this video . Great information!
This was wonderful! Really amazing advice :)
Sara you are my favorite person on RUclips. Watching your videos fills me up with positivity and you are truly an inspiration for me.
A lot of what you said in this video resonates with me. In my twenties, I had the goal of becoming a veterinarian and I did it at all cost. I was sure that I was going to be happy as soon as I hit my goal and when that didn’t happen, I suffered a lot. Like you said, realizing that achieving my goal didn’t make me happy had a compounding effect.
Now, I am veterinarian and I am happy, but happiness wasn’t a magical result of achieving my goal.
Loved your video. ❤
All of the head nodding, Is this what I really want? - that is a question I have been asking myself since the start of NaNo if I am honest. Thank you for being so open and letting us into your life.
Wonderful video! I really resonated with what you said about the 2D/3D person. I already know that 2023 will be challenging goal wise as I'm going back to a job this Jan that takes all my energy, dare I say soul sucking lol. As a creative I definitely need a way to plan so I don't let it override my creative dreams.
