    Anyone else just watch a bunch of these videos and are now fighting themselves over whether they want to go do their budget, start doing fun cardio, read a book, or watch another Makari Espe video because they’re so wonderful?

    Honestly I'm so glad that yt recomended me your video about doing cardio everyday for 30 days. I was suprised, that you didn't have hundreds of thousands subscribers. I absolutely love your videos and editing style. You give such vibrating and positive energy and your videos actually changed something in me. After watching your videos I decided that I want to change my lifestyle for better: be more active, ditch addicting apps and finally allow myself to read more instead of pushing off reading because I feel bad that I actually need to study (but end up on being phone anyways :/ ). I wish you only the best and I'm excited to see your new videos in the future. Keep doing what you do and enjoy yourself. xoxo

    I've set a goal for myself to read 1 page of a book every day. Sometimes big goals are scary. Setting a small goal gives me room to do more if I want but also still be glad that I read no matter how little.

    I'm 36 and a couple of years ago, I decided to stop reading books halfway through that doesn't interest me or I could not get through. All my life, I've always pushed through, no matter how much I don't like the book. But I realized life is too short to shove a book down my throat if it doesn't make me happy. I give a book up to 1/3 or 1/2 of it and if it still feels like a slog, I give up and move on to another. I don't feel guilty about it anymore than when I was younger.
    Recent book I gave up on: A Little Life (It's misery porn - I coulnd't do it! And this is coming from a woman who had a telenovela style life/upbringing!)
    I love this so much and can't wait to see more videos from you!

    • @makariespe

      I am an avid fantasy reader annnd I skipped the Two Towers when I read Lord of the Rings. It was SO boring. So I read a synopsis of the book and moved on to the Return of the King. No shame. Life is too short to read stuff I don’t enjoy. For me, reading is for enjoyment. The books I read are “junk food”. They’re fun, they’re always fiction, I don’t learn anything except maybe some new vocabulary. And that’s okay!

    I was an avid reader growing up. The ‘learning to read’ stuff like good ol’ mysteries … Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys, Agatha Christie’s…. Then university, a career in education and then, leadership, which really taught me about ‘reading to learn’. Thanks to our daughter and hubby (and retirement) now, I’m slowly returning to ‘reading for fun’ and ‘reading to relate!’ Thanks for the boost. Keep on inspiring!

    I definitely don't read as much as I did when I was a child, but back then, I didn't have to read as a major part of earning my living. LOL. I still find a lot of benefit from reading-- it clears my mind, settles me, and if you find the right book, it is lovely! I've been trying to read about 10 pages every night. Somedays I'm successful and somedays I am not!! The idea of getting together with a friend to catch up and also read together, that sounds wonderful and I'm tempted to see if any of my friends would be interested!

And so far in this year, i’ve managed to finish 11 books. And it feels amazing, I always thought I wouldn’t have time with Working fulltime and just life… but I do.. because I make time for it now, by putting my phone down! It has brought me so much joy!

    Makari, Hello from Everett, Washington! I am so glad I found your channel. You're curious, silly, honest and challenge yourself to new heights in life. We are similar! I hope your reading continues, I suggest some graphic memoirs! Maybe An Artist by Liz Montague and It Won't Always Be Like This by Malaka Gharib are two of my recent favs!

    I used to be able to read a whole day when I was a kid. Now I feel like the internet has taken over my life, but I'm trying to change that. I recently turned on my phone's grayscale filter so I spend less time on it and it's actually working for me. Now I just have to find a book that pulls me into it's story.

  • @lemonadeNET

    Am gonna start reading as well. I have recently gone back to working out a lot. But, I have also been having this nagging feeling that I use my phone a lot. Am gonna switch it up. Starting tomorrow. Yay!

    Hi Makari!! I discovered your channel only recently, but I subscribed so fast, because your smile and sweet personality are so uplifting!🥰 You deserve to have this channel grow, because you seem like a really genuine and wholesome person, which is so rare to find on RUclips these days. Keep going! Love from Mauritius

    "You said we weren't going to do screen time numbers."
    😂😂😂 I felt that so hard! lol
    I'm so glad I found your channel! I'm having a blast going through all your videos. Now I want to stretch every day, do a cardio challenge, and swap screen time for reading. Can't wait to see what the next video is going to motivate me to do! ♥

  • @rockyj885
    @rockyj885 8 месяцев назад +1
