I want to make some videos where I give some of y'all one on one advice via video call! These calls are totally free, and will help me make better content! And you might be featured in a video hehe. If that sounds like something you're interested in, fill out this form! iwuzawnp27j.typeform.com/to/Yn05OJXJ
why are there no comments under your pinned comment?? that’s weird. I always see pinned comments filled with more comments
I commented it a week after the video went live, I think that's why!
@@KelseyRodriguez Ah, makes sense! it’s a weird sight nonetheless😆
Don’t pick anything to get done. Resolutions are not about getting anything done. They are about doing. Pick what you want to be DOING a year from now and start DOING it. The product doesn’t matter, it is the process and making your process what you want it to be. Stop “donning” and start doing.
💯
Insightful!
Whew, yes, thanks for saving me 9 minutes.
Sadly I'm that person who doesn't know what they want to be doing in a year, three or five... it is ruining my life 😢
Thank you for offering a new perspective!
the thing to remember is the reason a year can change your life is because there’s so much time in a single year. you don’t have to overcrowd every day, you can take days off and you can skip up or fall backwards but it doesn’t matter because a year is plenty of time. don’t let yourself feel like you “aren’t where you need to be” because you’ll get there sooner than you think.
thank you for this 🥲
Great reminder 🎉
"A year from now you may wish you had started today" has been my motto for quite some years now. Don't overthink your plans, stop procrastinating, start now and figure it out on the way!
2023 broke me as an artist, my dog died at the age of 5, writers strike functionally lost me my job at a small studio, and for the first time, I had to put everything on pause to stop the burnout. But I also finally started animating for myself, and not needing 12 weeks of classes to find quality in myself. 2023 was the breakdown year, but I’m gonna build myself back up even better in 2024
I felt this so hard, it being a breakdown year. It feels like so much was stripped away, and kind of forced to view things with different eyes. I'm really sorry for the storms you encountered last year, and I'm rooting for big wins in ur life ❤
or the breakthrough year? you have totally got this, I feel 2024 is going to be a great year. My little dog died in 2022 and it broke me, so I understand xx
Writers strike didn't cost it, it was the people trying to rip off the writers. The ones that caused the strike to have to happen in the first place.
Me too, it sent me into complete depression, I gave up completely, got a normal job which I quit 5 months later and now giving it another try. I lost my dream studio and now painting in my living room, 2024 feels like a good year, we’ve got this! I feel like despite everything it was a blessing in disguise as it’s given me a new drive and motivation to not reach rock bottom again
Thank you everyone for the likes and supportive messages, and yes howlingspitfire, I don’t blame the writers, but their success came at a cost, one no one talks about, and as an animator with everyone I know getting layoffs and quitting the industry, I have to address that sacrifice, because those are my friends and colleagues, and they have to quit their dream, it’s heartbreaking
I'm going to give 2024 my all. Hopefully this will be the year that I can FINALLY monetize my RUclips channel and make that jump to being a full time artist and RUclipsr. I'm going to be moving to a new country next year, so at least I have something big to look forward to. I can't wait to see what's in store and all the things I'll create! I have a very good feeling.
Wishing everyone an amazing 2024! ❤
Your channel is wonderful, just checked it out and subscribed! Hope you reach all your goals and keep it up!! ❤
@@amandac8836 Awww you are too kind! Thank you. 😊❤️

I spent all of 2023 battling an uphill depression, cutting my ties with my 4 stringed friend, watching windows close, but grinding out my drawing skills. I managed to regain my middle school abilities where I can draw what I watch all while slowly understanding what I draw. Never did I think I would achieve my current level. I thought I burnt it all away back when I put down the pencil for music. Here I am now turning old dreams into new dream and turning new dreams into old dreams if that makes sense. 2024 will be the year I regain my highschool drawing abilities where I was finally able to freestyle what popped into my head onto paper. I'm 30 now. I'm not happy, but I'm not sad.
Im learning to draw on my iPad using procreate & ArtWorkout on the iPad. My dream is to spread a message through art I would draw & put it onto apparel. A message of hope for humanity and how i see the world and hopefully help others see the world the way i do through art. You got any advice for ya boy? I got sketch books & my iPad. Right now I’m just looking up videos, sketching here and there. How’d you develop your skills? Thanks brotha/sista✌️
Peace isn’t necessarily being happy. It’s not necessarily neutrality or apathy either, but it is still in the middle of being happy and sad. Those are both extreme emotions, but peace is calm.
@@juanrivera9328 My mom got me this book and this introduction really opened my eyes and helped me approach drawing from a different angle that just made more sense to me.
"Every time we try to register or record something that excites our interest, we increase our knowledge of the visible world. In attempting to understand more fully the earth we inhabit, we try to recreate it in our own terms. For artists, this means not only developing a skill in handling materials, but also acquiring an avid curiosity about the subjects we choose to draw or paint.
The emphasis throughout this book is on perception rather than technique. I believe that by concentrating on precision in terms of observation an artist arrives at good technique naturally."
It made sense to me because when I tried drawing Coco Melon riding Dumbo for an ex-coworker's daughter I kept winding up drawing generic baby, BUT when I drew Dumbo. I DREW Dumbo. I loved Dumbo when I was little and he was a character I understood very well. Coco Melon on the other hand is funny haha meme song and I'm like 30 with no kids so I never really saw it in my mid 20's while my friends with kids did. Thus I wound up drawing a generic baby instead of the actual character.
Also, warm up before practicing. Your hands have muscles ya know.
I like to do little scribbles and the circles. Sometimes lines and lines and lines and eventually little curvy lines so I can loosen up my hand. Then I do rough sketches before I tackle an actual project. Sometimes my actual projects wind up as unfinished rough sketches and THAT'S OKAY. I gained some XP out of it and when I tackle my next project I'll be that much closer to leveling up again.
Understand what you know, but if you can't understand what you know then you won't gain it's knowledge.
Hey last year sounded ROUGH. But congrats on your PROGRESS!!!!
Keep at it man. One day you'll reach a level of drawing skill you've never achieved before.
A huge problem with implementing your goals (/new years resolutions) is that one only pays attention to the goal, but not the way to get there.
If you want to reach something, you have to think about what steps will get you there first.
(so: "I want to get to 10k followers" is great and all, but there's no real action in it- you also can't influence how many people follow you etc. A better goal is, as Kelsey said/ did: "I will post 1 piece of content each week for the year". The more precice you get in planning your steps, the easier it is to implement.)
I missed my heart surgery for this😍
girl WHAT
wildest way to claim 1st comment
Omg that is the funniest 1st comment.
omg twin
🤣😅
The difficult part is staying committed past the 3 months (or even 1 month, if I'm being honest), or even when you feel sluggish & depressed & down on yourself. I like your suggestion of starting small with just 1 habit.
That's my problem, some days I just wanna sleep 😂. I am an art student, but oh my gosh, I have no energy for everything and I feel like my work is not gonna pay off anyway
oh gosh I feel this so deeply, I have ADHD and some days I am bursting with ideas but with no energy to match it
I just uninstalled all social media from my phone (RUclips included) and I'm only using social media on my computer, so I avoid scrolling in the night and starting the day with scrolling. It's been a week but I feel better. I hope 2024 is a better year for everyone. Even if it's just slightly better. :D
Picking a single goal increases your chance of sticking to it a lot, but if you can't choose just one, what worked for me before was dividing the year into sections. For example, in 2019 two of my goals were working out consistently and eating healthier. The first three months of the year, I pretty much had a single goal, just working out consistently. Just show up to the gym even if I don't have time and/or energy for a hardcore workout. Sometimes I'd just go and do some light cardio and call it a day. After three months, it pretty much stopped being a challenge and became a part of my daily routine. Then I started eating healthier, I just focused on that for a few months.
It's kind of "the best of both worlds", you can tackle a few goals instead of just one, but you'll only have the pressure of a single goal on you at a given time. And knowing you stuck to your first goal motivates you even more for the second one. You know you just did it, so you can do it again.
literally busy watching and taking notes on your 'how to launch your art career in 2023' and then this video pops up; it's a sign! can't wait to watch this after taking my notes 💚 thank you for the videos and happy holidays!
Take that sign and run with it! ☺️💜🫂
I'm honestly not one for "self help" content, but I saw a video of yours a while ago that popped up in my feed about the hate comments you were getting (didn't realise it was an art channel until after I started watching) and at the time I was dealing with a lot of self esteam issues revolving what covid did and not being able to exercise in gyms did to my physically and it really struck a cord. Since then I have been a faithful subscriber and look forward to your videos. I love seeing my fellow Hispanics making their mark on the art world and I hope your career keeps growing on here!
To anyone reading this comment, you got this, as long as u stay committed u can do it. I believe in u!!❤
Thank you! You too!!!! 🎉
Are you gonna start posting gaming content? I watched you channel and I liked what I saw
What you say about not waiting for new years eve to make changes is so true! Since christmas I finally had the drive and resolve to do one of the things I've been meaning to do for a looong time; exercise every day. A walk outside, some weights, heavy garden work, anything, just show up. And when I felt that determination making that decision, I could feel how it become easier to do even with just a few days in, because now I have confidence I'll keep my word.
It's just one choice, but it's very big for me and hopefully it'll bring me more energy to make art!
Art museums only display a portion of their collection at any given time. The building also has climate controlled, compact storage for works that are not on view. Works on paper especially need to come off view periodically to limit light exposure. That and offices are what’s in the rest of the building 😉
understandable! I guess i was just spoiled by the Met having some of their archives visible to the public in a much more condensed area so you could still see works even if they weren’t actively “on display” in exhibition/gallery rooms!
I actually did start doing something that could be life changing for me; working on my graphic novel. I’ve had the idea in mind since 2017, but didn’t start writing the manuscript for it until last year. I’m hoping to publish it before I turn 40 (I’m 34 right now).
I also really want to try getting back into doing RUclips again too. But I’m gonna work hard to build a following first. Thank you so much for this video! It was very motivating. ❤😊
thats awesome, good luck!
Honestly, this came at just the most perfect time; your energy is SO good, and I really love the way you framed your points. Wishing you lots of love and success for 2024!!
I went into 2024 completely focusing on my art. I managed to shift my mindset from ‘’I HAVE to make art’’ to ‘’Because making art makes me happy, I will do it whenever I can but if I don’t do as much as I want, I won’t beat myself up over it.’’ It really took the pressure and stress out of creating. Funnily enough, I draw and paint more now than when I tried to force myself to do it daily. It doesn’t feel like a chore.
Past two days I’ve been working to try and get my life on the right track. 2023 was a horrid year for me. Depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, an eating disorder, agoraphobia, trauma, and having to work through my relationships when they worried about me because of these issues. I want to do better. I want to feel better. So I’m working to get better right now, and I really hope it pays off in the end. 2023 kicked my ass but I’m going make 2024 kiss my ass!! This year will be better, I promise myself that. 💙
Thank you Kelsey for this video and all your words of advice, encouragement, and insight. Finding your channel at this point in my life has been such a blessing! Cheers to 2024!
2024 is the start for me capitalizing on my viciously unmedicated ADD for art & comic content
Here here
Me too!!
i dont usually comment on videos, but this one really resonated with me and my changing beliefs on new years resolutions or just goal setting in general. i made the decision to fully start my art journey and commit to doing art right after christmas, and so far ive been doing good! ive realized its about the everyday little by little work that helps acheive a goal, so heres to keep on drawing and persuing the creative things in life in 2024 🎉 we got this!!
No lie I barely even started this video yet but that first line has me in tears. A year really is all it takes and that’s such a big perspective switch for me. Thank you.
Don't apologise for stuff you haven't completed yet - as long as you're still working towards it then you're still doing the work and *that's* exactly what you promised: to keep working.
I can't speak for the rest of your viewers but I know I'll be sticking around to see your journey blossom further ☺️
For me it's really hard to keep goals and to-dos in check after school when you essentially become the teacher who's marking your own assignments. It's easy to be hard on yourself and feel bad for "not doing enough" but the simple fact that you're here, still doing stuff you said you wanted to do, is more than enough.
I'm starting now but especially in 2024, I'm going to be more forgiving of myself but also hold myself more accountable to complete things I want to and, even more importantly, *start* things I want to complete over time.
I've been dealing with trauma over the past couple of years so I'm trying not to be too hard on myself with being "productive" but I know it won't take too long to get where I want to be. As you said, Kelsey; it just takes a lot of work and building healthy habits over time.
Being human is frustrating... But worth it in the end.
Iv been trying for a while to just keep up the momentum in my head and I think this year it has finally clicked. I have been doing things I am not usually comfortable with.....like putting up time-lapse vids with me actually on the camera too. I am testing myself with things and the more I do it the more I want to do. I have the feeling I will leap forward this year with something big. I am starting to actually look around me and realise that I am so much better then what I have been living. Il be a lot more DOING and not just THINKING.
Thank you, Kelsey. I also started making videos in 2020, but I just recently was honest with myself about this being a realistic dream. About pursuing it for real.
The belief in that, and the Hope, are one of the ways to create consistency, I think. You are inspiring!
I’m trying really hard to fully commit to becoming a full time artist this year. I’ve been suffering from chronic fatigue working a food job for… 7 years of my life and I graduated last year with my Bachelors in illustration. I’m tired of having to work for someone else and I want to create and inspire others to create too.
I’ve been good at drawing almost every day this year so far, even though I’ve had a rocky start (I got bronchitis, my car battery died, etc etc) I’m so determined to finally make the transition to being an artist full time and finally having my own shop
congrats on getting your bachelors! that is super amazing, be very proud of yourself! hope you reach your goals this year 🫶
I really love your videos! You provide some insightful tips to improve as an artist. Habits make our lifestyles and guide us in trajectory of our goals or away from them. One of the things you mentioned about content creation and becoming a full time artist stood out to me. I have been thinking about the concept of being a “fulltime artist” and what I have been realizing is that its not necessarily becoming a fulltime artist people want to be, but specifically the income to replace any job that would take up time to create and enjoy an artistic lifestyle. Because if I replace a job with another one that takes my time away from art, then its just a cycle. I’ve seen artists working traditional office jobs or cafe jobs go into content creation to then burn out because it perpetuated the same cycle. Or they focus on sales more than the enjoyment of creating art, which is what they wanted in the first place. We are already “full time artists”, its an identity. The income however is a tool to support our artistic lifestyle and goals, along with other resources. Can’t wait for your next videos for 2024!
watching art happen + listening to these reflections is SO soul filling.💜
Thank you Kelsey for your motivation message for a 🎉New Year 2024🎉. You too have a prosperous new year❤🎉
Your channel is part of the reason I've started drawing for myself again. I'm so excited for 2024. Thank you for this! Your videos always inspire me!
Good video / advice. I especially liked and live by NOT following that "new year, new me" bs people talk about. Four years ago I had to lose 64 lbs. I went about it by changing very small parts of my diet and routine. Each step was so small that I only noticed it for the first couple of weeks while it was front and center in my life. Afterwards, life was just another day. Two months of education, research, or planning, and four months of actual dieting, and I hit my goal. It's such a part of my daily routine that something major has to happen to change the way I eat. ANYHOO... don't reinvent your whole life if you don't need to. Add or subtract one or two small things until they are just a normal part of your day. Many of the supporting activities will naturally follow.
I'm old. Not an artist, but a polyglot who has decided I want a different language to communicate with. I am going to teach myself to draw to accompany my writing. But that's not the point. Your simple, clear suggestion for choosing one thing that could, possibly, be life changing for people who are prepared to just try it, is really great. Good luck with your path. I'm kind of excited🙂
I made things worse when I actually had to sit down and do them, but when I haphazardly do something fun or dumb I found that those brought me a better outlook.
Breaking the ice or just going all out works better for me when I had "spare time" during my undergrad years.
Love this. You have been a huge inspiration for me starting my own channel, you are so encouraging!
Your videos are beautiful and your works are always fun to watch come together. Keep at it ❤️ this is going to he a great year for you!
This is the year of Art and creativity for me! Happy New Year everyone!
This is a very inspiring video, My goal for this year is to start making art again after a decade of being out of practice, build a portfolio as well as learn how to post on and use social media to market my eventual art business. I haven't started posting yet, but as I am learning to make content it was uplifting to stumble upon your channel on a morning when I felt particularly overwhelmed. So thank you for being here. (also, I watched your first video and love that you used the sims 4, I am also a simmer, so that made me very happy lol)
with more years behind than in front your video title was flashing to me so listened and what a beautiful voice that is like soft velvet, would love to hear an audiobook read by you, and i actually found listening very therapeutic to my PTSD. Love the artwork, my worst subject at school but I'm giving my all to my home fashion design enterprise to get my own home by end of year as I'm very tired of rentals moving, 20 moves in 23 years due to landlords wanting to sell to make money so even at my age I've decided 2024 is for the goal of housing independence. and I'm on track so far. you say ONE thing and that USED to be my downfall in trying to change everything but I've given myself just one goal a day and that's too turn up in my studio and do one hour of fashion design and one hour invariably turns into a jolly good day. Loved the video, will no doubt sub as i just love all creativity even if i was useless at art but give me drafting tools and I'll draft a dress pattern, go figure !
Hello Kelsey,
I just want to thank you, because of your videos, I decided to go full-fledged as an artist (not earning yet) and started a RUclips channel this year! I know I'm just a subscriber and not someone you know. And I'm just a lurker, quietly watching videos. But again, thank you for sharing your videos. Along with other artists here in RUclips, they made me start and make a step. Indeed, establishing a habit will help us start.
Thanks again and have a good day!
wishing you luck in your artist+youtuber journey!!
Thank you Kelsey ❤ I discovered your channel late last year and I can listen to your videos for hours. This year is my first year trying to be a RUclips content creator, and your video is very encouraging X)
Glad the RUclips algorithm made this video pop up for me ❤ subscribed
I truly love your videos! You are such an inspiration and I’ve learned so much from your channel. Looking forward to your new content in 2024 and making this my year as well! 🎉✨🎨
Found you today on this first day of 2024 here in NZ. I love your gentle and informative and wise chats.
I’m excited to have found you. Thankyou Kelsey. X
Oh hey! Im from NZ too! Hope you're having a good year so far :)
Love to see you painting ❤
Its so relaxing.
I have basically three things that I got back to (=want to implement regularly again, guess that counts,too)
- continue learning 3D Modelling and START seriously with learnign to sculpt (I had to stop for a while because I was so frustrated with my art skills that I had to pause 3D)
- do online,critiqued classes regularly. I have already booked 2 and plan to do at least one more, after that I want to look for mentorign because I don't know if I can take another class due to time constraints :,D
- focus on drawign + painting people. For the longest time I thought I'd just do environments and props but totally neglected humans. You know, the thing that made me start drawing in my childhood.
In general, my mind has shifted from "I want to be a concept artist" to "I want to work as an illustrator/mangaka". That is also part of these decisions.
Waiting for the studio tour!🙌
Ah, I love that’s the year you started. By that year I’d been involved in community and had gotten to know so many creators but not only did the pandemic appear but my family experienced some major crises. Which brought about different habits, or time available, online for me… this drug out the distance between me and those creators… some going different directions and others still creating. I wonder sometimes do I still even know them and or do they feel the distance in away different from my perspective. I don’t know just seeems weird all the way around sense 2020.
These podcasts have been really inspiring to me, I adapt a more positive outlook when I listen to them. So thank youuu
This year i wanna
- workout evey other morning and night
- eating more protein and calories
-DO MORE ART
- make Instagram reels *0*!
-learn guitar
-learning my favorite songs and solos
-make an original song
-study alittle japanese everyday
- continue learning Japanese vocabulary
- keep exposing myself to recognize hearing words in Japanese touge
I got a ocarina for Christmas so i also wanna learn how to play that this year baby steps tho ;~; i have to write this list again on paper lol
Thank you for this reminder. This is the year I’m determined to change things for myself, starting with going back to pottery classes. Small steps!
I retook drawing for the first time in fifteen years late last year. I want to draw and make music this year. We'll all be fine. Thank you for this video.
Love your videos and all you have to say, good luck in 2024!
This is gorgeous, it's not fancy, it's not full of information from every kind of book or successful people around the world. It's just human, that's the beauty of it, I feel like the world is getting to complicated, we expect too much, from us, from everyone and everything, we feel overwhelmed every second we lay on the bed, every second we are not being as glorious as we should be in our head. We're humans, we're simple at times, we're wrong other times, you seem to me a beautiful example of what a human can and should be, thanks.
I love your positivity! ❤😊
I loved this video I was fixed through the whole thing. You make beautiful art and you speak in poems. Keep going ❤❤
Thank you for your inspiring videos Kelsey. So happy for all your success, it's well deserved.
I stumbled upon your channel and so glad I did. Thank you for putting this content out there!
I've decided to work within the same "veins" as to what I'm already working on/towards, because I can't do new years resolutions. I realized that it fills me with anxiety, self hatred and dread.
I still make a list, BUT, it's all things I'd like to keep working on or expand on, with a few new things added in. Such as, I want to keep going with mobility and staying active, but to add in something new, I want to learn a new dance form. So it's in line with my recovery from being bedridden for 4 years due to a genetic disorder, and I've spent the last year slowly building up my strength, mobility and activity. I love to dance, so learning a new form would still be in the active "vein" but it's also new.
I hope that all made sense. 😅😂 But I'm also trying to find steady income as well, so..yeah. We'll see how it goes, but another thing is being more positive with the self talk, so I'm (telling myself) confident I will find a way to make steady income and still be happy and have time to do things I want to accomplish or things to expand on! ❤
Good job on your hard work!!! 👏🏼
I created goals and one of them is to learn how to create and sell digital products within the health/wellness niche. I’ve changed from doom scrolling to researching. I’ve purchased three plr products that I’m in the process of rebranding and personalizing before selling. Now learning how I want to create content that won’t show my face but still provide value. I’m ready for financial stability and increase in 2024.
I just started to start my art journey studying anatomy today(Dec 27th) and this video was kind of an encouraging push. You're right, its better to start now than later and I've realized that. So for now on I will try to study anatomy and fundamentals so I can be free to create whatever I want
Ahh I’ve been waiting for your next vid. Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤
Thank you for this ❤ feel like theres so much pressure on self improvement * on steroids * - with lists! And i cant do more than one at a time properly & consistently 🥺 so i picked one, simple goal. And i think thats working for me. I thought i was the only one, so thank you for this! 😭
Thanks for the video! Encouraging this time of year.
Easily my favorite art channel
2024 is when im gonna take youtbe seriously. Thanks for inspiring many artists!
I will take your advice and get back with you in 1 year! No kidding! I'll start going to Mass everyday. See you back on 12.31.2024!
3;23 I can't tell the difference other that a new habit is a new habit when a resolution does not have to be.
Really loving your content. Just found you 2 days ago and doing a lot of binge watching while I’m drawing lol
2024 is going to be the year that I finally learn programming. I wanted to learn it in 2023, but I struggled with depression and anxiety, and so didn't do much that entire year. Now in 2024 I'll make it count. I'll make this year memorable that I'll finally learn programming in full.
About a month ago, I started writing at least 400 words each day. I missed a few days but other than that, I didn't give myself a chance to get out of writing, even if I was too tired and I ended up writing exactly 400 words of gibberish before immediately going to bed. Its only been a month and I'm already in a better place, my dream of being a author seems one step closer. I can't wait to see where I'll be in a year.
Hi, Kelsey! I hope you have a great year and I hope we can all make ourselves proud 🩷
The wisdom here is invaluable. The power of a single habit, applied consistently is profound
I felt this. This is what artists struggling and striving all about. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. God bless you 😊
Thank you for doing this ✨
Definitely cool to see a video like this, sparked me to try again. Thanks man.
YAYAAYYA another kelsey video !
Resolutions don't work without a plan for implementation and they don't work if you bite off more than you can chew. I used to make them and fall off like many do, but one year I had 10 things I wanted to do and got the idea to focus on how I could turn them into habits. Instead of starting every one in January I focused on the easiest one, building the habit gently over the course of a month and in February added another relatively easy one. By the end of the year I had developed my 10 habits and decided to consciously let go of a couple that were no longer of interest. I still do the morning routine that I developed then along with most of the other resolutions that are habits now. It's also best if you can break it down into something you can do in 5-10 minutes so there is no excuse of not enough time or energy to complete it.
Wishing you a great art year, everyone!
I recently had a visit to the De Young and it REALLY motivated and inspired me as well!
Such a comforting watch always - as if giving advice to a friend. At the very beginning of my art journey and find your content to be greatly relatable and inspiring. Thank u 🫶🏼
The fact is that first i wanna do things and im so excited for it, them im lazy, i feel like I can't reach them, i have no energy, and im afraid that the new year will surprise me with bad things and i would stop and forget where i started, or that i lose the motivation for it going forward and i finish in a state of laziness. I feel like a failure sometimes, because i wanna reach so many things, but for it, i need to work hard. But how? Will i have energy? What about my mental health😂. Im so afraid
The year 2023 completely changed our lives for the better. Progress never feels fast enough but we have to see the good progress that we have made, no matter how slow.
✨Kelsey, Thank You For The Support, Support & Motivation✨
thank you, I needed this message!
Thanks for the motivation! ..2024 is my year to launch my art career!
Just what I needed 😭
love this, thank you
I am doing the same. A bit of a life reset now that I am 50. I'm starting a channel here to hold myself accountable.💞
Your b roll is amazing !
I hope everyone here becomes who they know they are in their heart ❤ stay blessed friends
Not related to the video but you just saved my plant. I saw you watering your plants and I remember that I forgot to water my dying plant.
2023 was a rough year for me, I just finished my art degree but idk if I want to pursue a full art career right now, I just want a job to move out and think about myself since living with my oarents has become a bit hard for my mental health. One change I want to do is to gather some self esteem and courage, maybe I'll keep a diary to help process my thoughts about this, thanks for the advice
such a powerful thought, wonderfully ☺☺☺
i love how grounded your advice is. this is exactly what i needed to hear as this year ends and the next begins. life is already so overwhelming, i don’t need to plan a bunch of goals that i can’t keep track of. one habit, that’s achievable. narrowing down to only one is half the battle, and i think it will help me so much. thank you! have a wonderful, restful holiday ✨
so grateful that i saw this video today
hola kelsey, im back here again. once again. im just one year older but one year wiser. thank you for this video
My main goal this year is simply to read more :) i have other stuff, for work and art and all that, but mostly i wanna get back into reading! No stakes if i fail, and a great time if i succeed
True, you only need to do simple habit and by Time you will be happy
Thank you. I needed some motivation! I've tried in the past to make an etsy store to sell the jewelry that I make and it didn't take off. I'm really hoping that 2024 can be the year I finally make it work. I've decided my resolutions this year will all be about growth rather than accomplishing things or changing fundamental things about myself. I'm focusing on things I want to learn and things that will make me happy rather than judging myself against any arbitrary standards :)
