I’m neurotypical and have 1 friend who I see every 3 months. I’m pretty shy and have been a bit depressed so I stopped being in touch with lots of people. This channel has helped me realise sometimes that’s just the way it is
You didn't just randomly get this community, you earned it through work, putting yourself out there, being vunerable, being incredibly relatable, being your wonderfully, perfect ! self...
Hey bea ! Just as a side note, that hand and eye symbol on your notebook is a protective symbol called "khamsa". In north african culture, it is used to ward off the evil eye (aka push off bad vibes from people that want you harm). Some people wear it as a charm around their neck, others hang it at the entrance of their houses.... Pretty much anything they want to protect is convered with it. I just thought you'd be interested in this tidbit of info, and maybe now knowing what it does will bring you comfort everytime you write on your notebook :) Happy new year btw ❤
Thank you for that information. I have a necklace charm and now I think I'm going to start wearing it. It's really pretty and it has a Moissanite on it.
When your boyfriend thinks Bea is an actual friend of mine when I mentioned she bought a house in conversation (context I am looking to buy as well) because I refer to Bea by name instead of saying so this RUclipsr I follow 😅 wishing you the best 2021!!!
My goal for 2021 is reduction. I want to: reduce my weight, reduce how much "stuff" I have, and reduce the amount of debt I have even further than I did in 2020. So happy when I see you have uploaded new content!😁❤👍
Same! I started my journey with minimalism at the beginning of 2020 and I saw an INCREDIBLE reduction of my anxiety. I definitely want to continue the trend during 2021. I am also working on my student loans. The financial goal for this year is to pay off my student loans!
@@Trudy6894 for the most part it is reduction in general. We are thinking of moving in the next couple of years and that is a lot easier to do when you have less stuff to move.😁
I give up on #3, but I suspect I am twice your age. I have decided attempting to make friends is FAR more stressful than just admitting and accepting that's not in the cards for me.
yes dude! but 01 is to get a parttime job instead, since i'll only be turning fifteen this year- but i definitely want to start taking care of myself more, idc that much about friends people in my town suck
I just turned 30.... It's a number I am not ready to meet in the eye yet. I don't feel like 30, don't know how a 30yo is suppose to behave. I have 2 kids and prank them... I have a 19yo cousin and we get to the same level of idiotness...but I don't play with my work, that's sacred and I do turn into an 80yo cranky person when it comes to that.
My goals are "Bea" goals. Like, "I want to Bea relaxed and happy," and "I want to Bea responsible with my finances," and "I want to Bea light-hearted and funny, like Bea." Happy New Year!
I've been mostly housebound for like a decade now, so when it came to people saying oh I can't look after my health due to lock down....girl. like those people who have been telling me how easy my life is, got a ruuuuude awakening this year. I've been weirdly in my element this year lol
Thank you girl 🙌I was secretly laughing like an evil villin evertime I heard people complaining about being Inside but then again mad like u normies will be free soon and we will still be in our cadges 😭 you don't get it unless u geet it
Someone once said to me: the only consistent thing in our lives is change. It really gave me a new outlook on how to approach life. There is no right moment or perfect circumstances, so go for it girl! You can do it! Even if its not 100% perfect.
My word for the year is “me.” The past few years I’ve been focusing on others and making them happy while praying for death because I felt like it would be much better if I wasn’t around. This year I’m starting off single and I’m just going to focus on me, my happiness, and going after what I want. I might be selfish this year but I deserve it! ❤️ here’s to all y’all and I hope you have blessings and happiness!
You cannot effectively take care of others until you take care of yourself first. Loving yourself is a challenging concept for many of us but once you put it into practice the world is your oyster...
Kate OBrien how did you get the certification? If you don’t mind me asking.. Just curious, from what I’ve read it takes about 4 years, and even after that you basically never make enough money from being an instructor to pay bills. So it’s more of a hobby than a job. Its hard figuring out a career that is fulfilling and pays the bills.. even now, in my city, we haven’t had any studios open for almost a year, so I really wonder what all the yoga instructors are doing for money (I know they still work through zoom but most people can just use a RUclips vid..). I guess a lot of people get in to it on top of the career they already have, but I don’t understand how people can make the time for it, on top of a busy job and also afford it.. ugh. I wanted to do one of those 200hr 1month yoga teacher training retreats abroad to kick things off, but now travel isn’t a thing.
@@ahumanaperson ok so it does NOT take 4 years. I got my initial cert teaching with someone who could certify my but I always like learning more styles and as I teach my own classes and have a family there’s not time for in person so I found Aura Wellness Center and they certify you virtually. It’s still a lot of work and there are tests and you have to submit videos but it doesn’t take more than a few months Making money doing it means finding you niche and message and developing a following. Private sessions also help a lot
Oh woman, congratulations on the house. Just get in and get settled with the things you have, let that marinade for a while, and then buy/change what you want to do. Take baby steps you’ll be fine.
My goal is to have a reset day for the week. Like a day where I plan my schedule, self care, laundry, grocery shopping, etc all on one day so I don’t have to think about what I will eat or wear or be surprised with any tasks... the procrastination is really bad so I’m hoping this helps 😂
My goals: To lower my body fat % by 5% through exercise, to practice intuitive eating and get off the diet train (because for me, it almost always ends up with disordered eating and little to no weight loss), and to get hired onto an internship!
Angela Asylum lol same! I’ve been looking for internships and they all fail to accommodate for covid, which has left me thinking that all of the listings are for placements that don’t even exist. I’m on the struggle bus.
I also had the “buying random household objects I won’t need for another month to appease my anxiety” moment when I moved out of my parent’s house and into the dorm for the first time. I had a trash can and random kitchen items and like toilet cleaner just in my room for a solid six weeks before I moved out lol. Happy New Year!
...whether this is relevant to this video or not I have a suggestion! Get some TRX straps! (Or the next cheapest Amazon version like I did) they help with squats soooo much you still get the benefits of squats and pull ups and push-ups while being kinder to your body. I first started using them in physical therapy and got a set for my own home. Game changer - look for ones that you can anchor in a closed door OR clip to an anchor point like a tree or eye hook. That is all ☺️ hope you read the comments lol I don’t have Insta to dm you 😋 your journey and honesty is inspiring. I enjoy and appreciate you!
This video is THE MOST adhd thing I've ever seen in my life. Change of routine and anxiety over it is a huge adhd thing, or at least it is for me. I know this video is from a year ago at this point, but I hope in the future you internalize less fear out of feeling the "wrong" way about something. You say you feel you "should" be happy an excited here, but you're undergoing a huge life change! It's normal to be anxious and scared! And however else you feel, it's not the "wrong" way to feel. It's how you feel! Fighting against it and then feeling guilt for the "wrong" emotions just compounds the problem. anyway, i know we're just two strangers online, but your honesty and humor are a great comfort in trying times. Let yourself feel however you want to feel, Bea!
Okay but the cat just sitting there casually chewing on the shelf is a MOOD 😂 Also, hi I've never commented before because I'm shy and stuff. But I found your channel recently and it's helped me so much on my own weight loss journey. I'm 28 as well and started at around 250 pounds which is around what you were when you started, and I see so many similarities in your sense of humor as well! You're very relatable and it's just really refreshing, so thank you for making this channel!💙
I love that you want to learn how to swim! I learned how when I was 28. Thanks for sharing your journey. You inspire and encourage this 40 year old mama of 5.
My goals: *track calories every day for at least 6/12 months *read 6 books *continue working out at least 3x/week *Keep up my meditation streak (currently on day 76)! Excited to see how your goals progress!
To do push-ups, I started facing a wall. Bring feet out, lean forward and do a push-up! After you can do 10 or so, you can move down onto a coffee table to do incline push-ups. Knee push-ups never helped me get strong but the inclines did. I can now do declines where I put my feet up on a bench as well now!
Omg when u started singing "going on a trip in my favorite rocket ship..." loooooooved it! Your so awesome! You seem like you'd be such a fun and positive friend.
I don't know why, but you telling me that if I didn't accomplish what I wanted in 2020 to not feel bad...made me not feel bad. I turned 40 on 9/11 and I had this huge fitness/health goal, was gung ho about losing some weight I've gained. I'm not even overweight, just on the threshold of overweight. But I've been obese and I really wanted to be fit and more athletic and down a few pounds by my 40th bday. THAT DID NOT HAPPEN. And it has made me anxious and feel like no matter how hard I'm trying I won't reach my goals. But you made me feel so much better. I would never look at anyone else the way I look at myself, or talk to someone else the way I talk to myself. So I need to focus on that in conjunction with my other goals.
I've been watching your videos while walking 10.000 steps a day, and is so entertaining and encouraging! I don't fell alone anymore so time goes so fast! 🎉🎊 Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us! Let's go towards our goals! 🥳💪🥰
Agreed! I would recommend checking out the RUclipsrs channel Do It On A Dime. She’s so sweet and has such great organization/home decor ideas using dollar store items
Getting married in April 2021 (original date was April 2020)...need to fit into my wedding dress 😔 so that’s my first goal and 2nd goal is to do 10 push-ups everyday while making coffee... these push-ups are not regular push-ups as i also have no upper body strength so I’m starting with leaning push-ups and/or knee push-ups... also more water! Happy new year Bea!!
I just want to let you know that 100% buying a new home (especially first time) is TOTALLY nerve wracking! You are rocking it sister! You are so inspirational and I’ve really enjoyed following you. I can’t wait to see what 2021 holds for us all. Go get ‘em!! 💖🤗
So true, there is no magic in the new year, the new moon, the start of the month, Mondays. The magic is getting started wherever you are in time and space, just start! Good luck in 2021 everyone!
Yes! When I’m only accountable to myself, it’s so easy to lower my expectations! I’ve been working on it, but I can definitely improve still. I do monthly goals...January goals are to drink fewer than 5 sodas a week and finish cleaning garage.
Bea, I watch and listen to your vlogs over and over again because of how real you are. Everything you stressed about, frustrated about, fearful about I totally relate to. You are fun and funny and it really helps that I feel like you get it. Life is ups downs and ups again. Thank you for being here and sharing ❤
Also my husband and I bought a house in November and I am also turning 29 this month. Your channel is so uplifting and relatable. One of the highlights of 2020. Looking forward to sharing 2021 with you Bea.
Great goal list- just a tad of info: the self discipline doesn’t come with age... I’m 38 and talk myself down every day unless I’m accountable to someone other than myself. One of my fitness goals is to do ONE damn pull up.
Yay ... go for it girl! Great goal... just last night I decided I want to be able to do a couple of real push ups! EDIT : while I'm typing this Bea reaches the part where she also says she wanna be able to do push ups too😉😍👍🏾
39 here and that is so true haha! I have always had the goal to do a pull up. Closest I have come was doing the monkey bars at all the parks in town and that took so much work 😂
Every time I think that I'm alone in feeling defeated, I see you upload a video. You are so real and relatable that I feel like we are having a conversation. As someone equally awkward and introverted I appreciate your willingness to be so open about your journey and your emotions. It helps me to refocus on my own goals, even the ones not involving fitness.
Your laugh is the most infectious thing...I was giggling along. My goal for 2021 is also to lose 60lbs. I feel like I sort of lost my fitness mojo with the gyms being closed (having something cost me money gives me more incentive to use it because I hate wasting money)...and my gym still being closed where I am in Canada. So right now my plan is to try a different RUclips workout series monthly in addition to walking daily to see if I can ramp up that love of exercise again. Happy New Year!
I just wanted to thank you for sharing your cheery, positive, driven self in your weight loss journey videos. As a woman who is now 57, I’m facing a rounder time in my life. My husband and I quit smoking cold turkey 3 years ago and haven’t looked back. I quit caffeine at the same time. No no. It’s all good. I’m now looking to lose inches and not so much focussing on the weight. I’ll tell you why. When I was a single parent of teenagers, when I was 36, I had someone move in with my teens and I joined the army and went to basic training for 6 weeks. When I left home for basic, I weighed 135 lbs and was in size 11 pants. When I got home I was 17 pounds heavier and two pant sizes smaller. We can see a difference in your body and most certainly in your face Honey. Finding your videos tonight has given me a good dose of motivation. Thanks so much for that. Wishing you a wonderful 2021. Stay happy and healthy.
Oh my actual goodness...I also am going to attempt a glow-up this year and also turning 29 by the end of January and 30 is looking reeeeally close! Time to get this soul vessel in tip top shape!
I got to your channel one day that I was really having a bad day. You made me laugh and smile and I kept watching your videos. I live alone and sometimes it does get lonely and I must confess I love to hear your voice, your laughter and that lonely feeling goes away. Thanks a million, send you hugs from Scotland 🤗
So many gardening supplies... for so many future gardening activities! I’m in the opposite situation of selling my first house and half the time I have no idea what I’m signing. Haha. Happy 2021 to you and Chetty and your Elmo-mom! 💚🐝💪🏽
Being on this journey with you is so much fun. Id love to see a video of you telling what classes and youtube videos and challenges you want to do or already like to workout. I get so inspired by you constantly changing up your habits and workouts because one of my many excuses was not "liking" the eating or workout I chose. I like to keep switching it up to keep it fresh and fun. So its fun watching you do the same.
“Developing a personal style as opposed to wearing whatever fits and helps me blend in” Wearing whatever fits has been the story of my life! Thank you for being such an inspiration 🙏 looking forward to seeing you develop your unique style!
My goal is learning to be more confident and learning to love myself. I also want to work on my budgeting and saving up for a home. Happy new year Bea and everyone! I pray for a better year for all of us and hope we all reach our goals for 2021!
I was having an anxiety attack this morning and decided to calm myself with your videos because you are the bomb. To hear you are having anxiety and staying inside also is comforting that im not an odd ball. Me and you are So much alike and I'm thankful for your videos.. as I watch and laugh and listen my heart slows down🥰🥰🥰🥰 love you
You're definitely going to glow up 💗 already glowing 💗 reading more is one of my 2021 goals, too and going strong so far. Since I had my daughter my brain was just shrinking, had no time to read and now I feel like I just have to make time, being a mum cannot be my excuse to go braindead. You're lovely and a pleasure to watch 💗
I was feeling emotionally drained and unmotivated today. But watching your video and how transparent you are about falling off the bandwagon but not giving up, i just felt uplifted and a lot better. Thank you for posting :)
I started swimming a couple of years ago. I started with a class at my local Y and it was super helpful getting a basic form down. I recommend something like that when those options open up again.
GREAT GOALS! X One thing that remains the same, in this very changeable world, is YOU. You continue to be hilarious - in a very good way! Making us all smile. And in all that clowning around, you actually hand out many nuggets of wisdom and truth, contrary to how you see yourself! Keep going Bea. You've sown the seeds in 2020 - looking forward to watching you bloom this year! X
12:06, realizing that a lot lately. External motivation vs internal motivation. I'm so use to doing things for others but am bad at doing things for myself.
My goals in 2021: -try to love my self more -try to be fearless about failure -be healthy for my emotion and for my weight -try to find my passion - if i found my passion i well billed skills for it
My dad always said growing old is unavoidable, growing up however is optional! The plus side of that mindset is I am 37 years old and people routinely think I'm 10 years younger. It's always nice.
You are definitely, ahead of me.. I got no goals yet. I enjoy watching your vlogs, helps me relate to myself. I'm always, always failing but you give the strength to continue. Thanks Bea for just being you! I'm right along side you with this weight challenge!!
I love looking forward to all your shenanigans and thank you Bea for making me laugh and smile!! Goals, to journal, connect more with friends and loved ones every day, break a snack habit in the evening.
"There's no magic to the first of the year, or the month, or the week..." This is so true! There will always be a "better" or "more significant" time to do something but really the only time we have is right now, so I am going to make myself do things straight away this year. I managed to lose 6lbs in December which took me down into the next weight range, and meant I finished 2020 in a better place simply because I didn't wait for the New Year in order to start. I just need to apply that to every other area of my life now. 🤣🤣 Sending you all lots of love and happiness for 2021. Xxx
Bea, it is SO comforting to hear you say all the things that I am also working on! SELF DISCIPLINE OMGGGGG it’s so hard but I will be right there with ya trying to cultivate that all! year! long! (Also the splits lol)
I am way to old for a long list of resolutions, so here is my “list”: 1. Loose 5 kg (at least) and stay on that weight. 2. Finish unfinished projects/objects (one down already)
I love that as a RUclipsr whether it was to document your goal or to gain popularity. ( granted I believe you’ve received much more popularity than you ever thought you would) that you are still very real and down to earth and show the true side of humanity. The flaws and humor and love and the draw backs and snags regular people have . I hate when you look and see false personas people create for views and they try to act perfect which essentially makes everyone else feel like crap . You are gorgeous and funny and bring so much entertainment. Even just shopping and joking about your outfit choices .
Happy new year! my yearly goals are to walk more, lose all of my weight (50 lbs), be happy more sense I deal with lots of depression, self-discipline, and finally feeling more confident and sure of myself. I love your channel so much and to anyone reading, this does your 2021 right this year! we made it through 2020 we can do 2021!
Hi Abigail. I watched this video by the "Goal Guys" that really made a lot of sense when it comes to losing weight. I am putting his tips into practice and it seems to help. ruclips.net/video/NCugIvns9GU/видео.html&ab_channel=GoalGuys Also, I am trying to learn to skip rope since it burns more calories in less time than running, and on Instagram, people of all ages seem to be having fun doing it. Anyway, I suffer from depression too so trying to find fun in this weight loss journey is important. Bee is a great companion in this quest because she is keeping it real. Happy 2021.
i am working towards being the best me. trying to get more consistent with myself my channel and my business i will succeed i’ve started to find my people and it’s time to GROW thank you B you are such a light and i love that it feels like we’re friends!
When you said, "Icon"...my brain immediately went to "Superstar" girl!!! LOL I love when you do the challenges! I'm 20 years older than you but I never even find these things unless you're doing them! Happy New Year, Bea!!!
My boyfriend and I just did a five year plan and our goals for 2021 are to re-evaluate our budget & start saving as well as develop healthier routines (going to bed earlier, walking the dog more often, yoga every day, cutting out soda & dairy)!
I’m autistic and have like, two friends. Thanks for making it feel like three. :)
I have only 2 friends because everyone else annoys me lol
Take care
I’m neurotypical and have 1 friend who I see every 3 months. I’m pretty shy and have been a bit depressed so I stopped being in touch with lots of people. This channel has helped me realise sometimes that’s just the way it is
I have totally started talking to my friend in real life about Bea as if she is my friend.
You didn't just randomly get this community, you earned it through work, putting yourself out there, being vunerable, being incredibly relatable, being your wonderfully, perfect ! self...
I don’t think I’ve related to a song more than, “Sometimes you get fat, then a little less fat, then fat again”
Thanks for the ear worm, Bea! 😂😂
I will miss Elmo so much! 😂🤣😂
Lol same!
And now I can't stop singing it...
Are you german by any means or is „ear worm“ a real word in english?😂 (no offense, just wondering)
@@robocop2800 it's a real word. We say it in the UK
Girl, you got 300.000 subscribers, raised a substantial amount of money for charity and lost like 35 lbs in 2020 "floundering around". *ICON*
I lost 127 pounds in 2020.
Congratulations!
congratulations! that’s amazing!
Hollar! 🥳🥳🥳
Insane!!! congrats :) x
Woooo!!!!
Buying a house and moving is one of the most stressful things I've done, but now that I'm settled, I'm so comforted
Shout out to everyone still using the same purse for multiple years in row!
“I’ll be forever young because I’m immature.”
Same girl, same lol
Same and I'm 31 going on 32
Same and I'm 32 going on 33🤣
Im 42 and same
Yup. Just turned 50. How did that happen 😳
That is called Peter Pan syndrome.
My husband hollered from the other room, "are you watching Bea again???"
The snort laughs gave me away.
My 3 year old likes to watch with me and says "That's Bea!" like 10 times per video lol
Wait you look like blonde version of Bea in your picture!
My husband said the same thing 🤣
She is so friggin awesome

I'm 45...ditto. where's the merch?!
I'm 43.. double ditto😁💜
39 here. I’d wear it too.
42.. I think I need few shirts, pins, and maybe a giant blanket with that on it!
45 same (I'd also wear that merch)
When your boyfriend thinks Bea is an actual friend of mine when I mentioned she bought a house in conversation (context I am looking to buy as well) because I refer to Bea by name instead of saying so this RUclipsr I follow 😅 wishing you the best 2021!!!
I say “my RUclips friend” In conversation all the time when it comes to Bea. Good luck on the house hunt!
Thats adorable
"I'm always finding something to panic about." AMEN. I'd surely rather not but I just cant help myself. I get it.
My goal for 2021 is reduction. I want to: reduce my weight, reduce how much "stuff" I have, and reduce the amount of debt I have even further than I did in 2020. So happy when I see you have uploaded new content!😁❤👍
I love the idea of just reducing. Do you have specific goals or is it just reducing in general?
I’m knee deep in Marie Kondoing my stuffs. It’s so liberating and anxiety inducing at first!
Oh I LOVE this! It perfectly matches my goals, too. "Reduction"... thanks for the idea!
Same! I started my journey with minimalism at the beginning of 2020 and I saw an INCREDIBLE reduction of my anxiety. I definitely want to continue the trend during 2021. I am also working on my student loans. The financial goal for this year is to pay off my student loans!

Hahaha
Food for thought lol... you are Sooo Deep 😊

I literally wrote in my journal " 2021 no expectations." so what ever happens to me is a surprise. Thanks for sharing. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Are we not gonna talk about cat Jaclyn Hill actually looks like Jaclyn Hill. Catlyn Hill.
Love how my RUclips cc translates bees laugh as [music]
My goals for the year:
1. Move into own place
2. Take care of my health in every way
3. Make friends
😂
All of these for me too😂
Exactly my list
I like your goals :)
I'll move to my first own flat, too. So excited. Good luck!
I give up on #3, but I suspect I am twice your age. I have decided attempting to make friends is FAR more stressful than just admitting and accepting that's not in the cards for me.

She giggles about turning 30
*looks at my 31 year old self*
“Age is just number”
*nods* yessssss girlllll.
I’m 38.. lol
I'm 53 and relate to Bea on so many levels. Age truly is just a number. I my mind, I'm still 25 or 12... depends on the moment!. 🤣😁
@@tesiemarie8942 Same lol and I don't feel like an adult at all sometimes.
I just turned 30.... It's a number I am not ready to meet in the eye yet. I don't feel like 30, don't know how a 30yo is suppose to behave. I have 2 kids and prank them... I have a 19yo cousin and we get to the same level of idiotness...but I don't play with my work, that's sacred and I do turn into an 80yo cranky person when it comes to that.
My recently turned 40 year old self cringed hearing that 29 is old lol
My 2021 goals are : reach my goal of losing 60lbs only 32lbs to go, learn to drive, learn to swim, maybe even start my own photography business. 🤞🏻
I'm so embarrassed at not having learned to swim and I'm 43! Its encouraging to hear others have this goal too. Best wishes for 2021 and go get 'em!

This is so cute lmao

I've been mostly housebound for like a decade now, so when it came to people saying oh I can't look after my health due to lock down....girl. like those people who have been telling me how easy my life is, got a ruuuuude awakening this year.

Thank you! 🙏
I watched a guy in the gym once run at 10mph for 30 minutes and I was like “damn, that’s fitness”😂
Wow. That's really fast. He was probably a competitive runner or triathlete, maybe?
@@LoyaFrostwind it was in my university gym so he could’ve been on one of the sports teams but I was so impressed
Bruh😂 fr I wish I could do that 😗😂
My word for the year is “me.” The past few years I’ve been focusing on others and making them happy while praying for death because I felt like it would be much better if I wasn’t around. This year I’m starting off single and I’m just going to focus on me, my happiness, and going after what I want. I might be selfish this year but I deserve it! ❤️ here’s to all y’all and I hope you have blessings and happiness!
I promise the world is better with you in it. I hope you find happiness and see your true value in 2021!
You cannot effectively take care of others until you take care of yourself first. Loving yourself is a challenging concept for many of us but once you put it into practice the world is your oyster...
I’m 43. But I’m so proud of you becoming a homeowner and your journey. Your not a wallflower your real and let me tell your becoming a you tube star.
When you said 29 I was shocked I thought you were in your early 20s 😂
Same! Lol
Same
me:
came for the weight loss
stayed for the personality ❤️
Oh love I’m still working towards goals and I’m a certified yoga instructor. I’m 39. Don’t worry about age. Be happy you made it there
Kate OBrien how did you get the certification? If you don’t mind me asking.. Just curious, from what I’ve read it takes about 4 years, and even after that you basically never make enough money from being an instructor to pay bills. So it’s more of a hobby than a job. Its hard figuring out a career that is fulfilling and pays the bills.. even now, in my city, we haven’t had any studios open for almost a year, so I really wonder what all the yoga instructors are doing for money (I know they still work through zoom but most people can just use a RUclips vid..). I guess a lot of people get in to it on top of the career they already have, but I don’t understand how people can make the time for it, on top of a busy job and also afford it.. ugh. I wanted to do one of those 200hr 1month yoga teacher training retreats abroad to kick things off, but now travel isn’t a thing.
@@ahumanaperson ok so it does NOT take 4 years. I got my initial cert teaching with someone who could certify my but I always like learning more styles and as I teach my own classes and have a family there’s not time for in person so I found Aura Wellness Center and they certify you virtually. It’s still a lot of work and there are tests and you have to submit videos but it doesn’t take more than a few months
Making money doing it means finding you niche and message and developing a following. Private sessions also help a lot
Yup same I can now say I have a full album of before pictures
A great New Year surprise! Happy New Year!! 🎊🥂🥳 Let’s crush those 2021 goals! 💪💕 P.S. love the original song 😉🤣
Oh woman, congratulations on the house. Just get in and get settled with the things you have, let that marinade for a while, and then buy/change what you want to do. Take baby steps you’ll be fine.
I have such high hopes for you beautiful
My goal is to have a reset day for the week. Like a day where I plan my schedule, self care, laundry, grocery shopping, etc all on one day so I don’t have to think about what I will eat or wear or be surprised with any tasks... the procrastination is really bad so I’m hoping this helps 😂
My goals: To lower my body fat % by 5% through exercise, to practice intuitive eating and get off the diet train (because for me, it almost always ends up with disordered eating and little to no weight loss), and to get hired onto an internship!
Angela Asylum lol same! I’ve been looking for internships and they all fail to accommodate for covid, which has left me thinking that all of the listings are for placements that don’t even exist. I’m on the struggle bus.
@@ahumanaperson good luck!!! 😊
I also had the “buying random household objects I won’t need for another month to appease my anxiety” moment when I moved out of my parent’s house and into the dorm for the first time. I had a trash can and random kitchen items and like toilet cleaner just in my room for a solid six weeks before I moved out lol. Happy New Year!
I started my weight loss in 2020 too. Doing a glow-up is one of my goals. Another goal is to get my online business running fully.
...whether this is relevant to this video or not I have a suggestion! Get some TRX straps! (Or the next cheapest Amazon version like I did) they help with squats soooo much you still get the benefits of squats and pull ups and push-ups while being kinder to your body. I first started using them in physical therapy and got a set for my own home. Game changer - look for ones that you can anchor in a closed door OR clip to an anchor point like a tree or eye hook.
That is all ☺️ hope you read the comments lol I don’t have Insta to dm you 😋 your journey and honesty is inspiring. I enjoy and appreciate you!
"I'munna be forever young...because I'm immature." LOOOOLLLL. Goals.
😂😂 that was hilarious!
Same here
😂😂😂
This video is THE MOST adhd thing I've ever seen in my life. Change of routine and anxiety over it is a huge adhd thing, or at least it is for me. I know this video is from a year ago at this point, but I hope in the future you internalize less fear out of feeling the "wrong" way about something. You say you feel you "should" be happy an excited here, but you're undergoing a huge life change! It's normal to be anxious and scared! And however else you feel, it's not the "wrong" way to feel. It's how you feel! Fighting against it and then feeling guilt for the "wrong" emotions just compounds the problem.
anyway, i know we're just two strangers online, but your honesty and humor are a great comfort in trying times. Let yourself feel however you want to feel, Bea!
Okay but the cat just sitting there casually chewing on the shelf is a MOOD 😂 Also, hi I've never commented before because I'm shy and stuff. But I found your channel recently and it's helped me so much on my own weight loss journey. I'm 28 as well and started at around 250 pounds which is around what you were when you started, and I see so many similarities in your sense of humor as well! You're very relatable and it's just really refreshing, so thank you for making this channel!💙
I love that you want to learn how to swim! I learned how when I was 28. Thanks for sharing your journey. You inspire and encourage this 40 year old mama of 5.
My goals: *track calories every day for at least 6/12 months *read 6 books *continue working out at least 3x/week *Keep up my meditation streak (currently on day 76)! Excited to see how your goals progress!
I believe in you!!! Way to go on that meditation streak!
To do push-ups, I started facing a wall. Bring feet out, lean forward and do a push-up! After you can do 10 or so, you can move down onto a coffee table to do incline push-ups. Knee push-ups never helped me get strong but the inclines did. I can now do declines where I put my feet up on a bench as well now!
Atomic Habits is an awesome book. Highly recommend starting with that one!
Omg when u started singing "going on a trip in my favorite rocket ship..." loooooooved it! Your so awesome! You seem like you'd be such a fun and positive friend.
I don't know why, but you telling me that if I didn't accomplish what I wanted in 2020 to not feel bad...made me not feel bad. I turned 40 on 9/11 and I had this huge fitness/health goal, was gung ho about losing some weight I've gained. I'm not even overweight, just on the threshold of overweight. But I've been obese and I really wanted to be fit and more athletic and down a few pounds by my 40th bday. THAT DID NOT HAPPEN. And it has made me anxious and feel like no matter how hard I'm trying I won't reach my goals. But you made me feel so much better. I would never look at anyone else the way I look at myself, or talk to someone else the way I talk to myself. So I need to focus on that in conjunction with my other goals.
That's a really good attiude!! You can get there in 2021. Kick off the decade in style.
I've been watching your videos while walking 10.000 steps a day, and is so entertaining and encouraging! I don't fell alone anymore so time goes so fast! 🎉🎊
Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us!
Let's go towards our goals! 🥳💪🥰
dollar tree would be an awesome place to start gathering those little household things. You'd be shocked how many great items they have.
Facts!
Really great idea! That large amount of starter stuff will cost a lot otherwise 😅
Agreed! I would recommend checking out the RUclipsrs channel Do It On A Dime. She’s so sweet and has such great organization/home decor ideas using dollar store items
SO TRUE!! I still have all my large serving spoons I bought at Dollar Tree back in 2004 for my first house!!
I got all of the stuff for my first apartment at a dollar store I only have the broom left but it's been a great broom 😂
Getting married in April 2021 (original date was April 2020)...need to fit into my wedding dress 😔 so that’s my first goal and 2nd goal is to do 10 push-ups everyday while making coffee... these push-ups are not regular push-ups as i also have no upper body strength so I’m starting with leaning push-ups and/or knee push-ups... also more water! Happy new year Bea!!
Day one of telling Bee how much joy she brings me and how much I want to be her friend
I just want to let you know that 100% buying a new home (especially first time) is TOTALLY nerve wracking! You are rocking it sister! You are so inspirational and I’ve really enjoyed following you. I can’t wait to see what 2021 holds for us all. Go get ‘em!! 💖🤗
My lower cal starbucks drink: Sugar free hazelnut (or vanilla) americano with cream. a grande is like 150cal.
So true, there is no magic in the new year, the new moon, the start of the month, Mondays. The magic is getting started wherever you are in time and space, just start! Good luck in 2021 everyone!
Yes! When I’m only accountable to myself, it’s so easy to lower my expectations! I’ve been working on it, but I can definitely improve still. I do monthly goals...January goals are to drink fewer than 5 sodas a week and finish cleaning garage.
Bea, I watch and listen to your vlogs over and over again because of how real you are. Everything you stressed about, frustrated about, fearful about I totally relate to. You are fun and funny and it really helps that I feel like you get it. Life is ups downs and ups again. Thank you for being here and sharing ❤
You literally have the most GORGEOUS EYES EVER 😍😍😍
Also my husband and I bought a house in November and I am also turning 29 this month. Your channel is so uplifting and relatable. One of the highlights of 2020. Looking forward to sharing 2021 with you Bea.
Great goal list- just a tad of info: the self discipline doesn’t come with age... I’m 38 and talk myself down every day unless I’m accountable to someone other than myself.
One of my fitness goals is to do ONE damn pull up.
Yay ... go for it girl! Great goal... just last night I decided I want to be able to do a couple of real push ups!
EDIT : while I'm typing this Bea reaches the part where she also says she wanna be able to do push ups too😉😍👍🏾
Mine too. A pull up/chin up, a rope climb, a split and run a 5k from start to finish.
39 here and that is so true haha! I have always had the goal to do a pull up. Closest I have come was doing the monkey bars at all the parks in town and that took so much work 😂
46 her! Same! I have 40 lbs to lose so here goes! Good luck everyone! xx
I’m 58 and planning to get the pull-up in.
Every time I think that I'm alone in feeling defeated, I see you upload a video. You are so real and relatable that I feel like we are having a conversation. As someone equally awkward and introverted I appreciate your willingness to be so open about your journey and your emotions. It helps me to refocus on my own goals, even the ones not involving fitness.
Your laugh is the most infectious thing...I was giggling along. My goal for 2021 is also to lose 60lbs. I feel like I sort of lost my fitness mojo with the gyms being closed (having something cost me money gives me more incentive to use it because I hate wasting money)...and my gym still being closed where I am in Canada. So right now my plan is to try a different RUclips workout series monthly in addition to walking daily to see if I can ramp up that love of exercise again. Happy New Year!
I just wanted to thank you for sharing your cheery, positive, driven self in your weight loss journey videos. As a woman who is now 57, I’m facing a rounder time in my life. My husband and I quit smoking cold turkey 3 years ago and haven’t looked back. I quit caffeine at the same time. No no. It’s all good. I’m now looking to lose inches and not so much focussing on the weight. I’ll tell you why. When I was a single parent of teenagers, when I was 36, I had someone move in with my teens and I joined the army and went to basic training for 6 weeks. When I left home for basic, I weighed 135 lbs and was in size 11 pants. When I got home I was 17 pounds heavier and two pant sizes smaller. We can see a difference in your body and most certainly in your face Honey. Finding your videos tonight has given me a good dose of motivation. Thanks so much for that. Wishing you a wonderful 2021. Stay happy and healthy.
Oh my actual goodness...I also am going to attempt a glow-up this year and also turning 29 by the end of January and 30 is looking reeeeally close! Time to get this soul vessel in tip top shape!
Honestly, I like that you’re shy enough in public places not to be obnoxious.
Anybody else a music educator and had to double-take when she said “ta ta ti-ti ta” to make sure they heard that right??? 😂
And red leather yellow leather. Tongue twister warmups. I can tell she was in choir!
I remember it from the good ole choir days!! I too had to do a double-take
I got to your channel one day that I was really having a bad day. You made me laugh and smile and I kept watching your videos. I live alone and sometimes it does get lonely and I must confess I love to hear your voice, your laughter and that lonely feeling goes away. Thanks a million, send you hugs from Scotland 🤗
So many gardening supplies... for so many future gardening activities! I’m in the opposite situation of selling my first house and half the time I have no idea what I’m signing. Haha. Happy 2021 to you and Chetty and your Elmo-mom! 💚🐝💪🏽
Being on this journey with you is so much fun. Id love to see a video of you telling what classes and youtube videos and challenges you want to do or already like to workout. I get so inspired by you constantly changing up your habits and workouts because one of my many excuses was not "liking" the eating or workout I chose. I like to keep switching it up to keep it fresh and fun. So its fun watching you do the same.
Loved everything about this video from the reflections to the authenticity of your personality! Happy New Year!
“Developing a personal style as opposed to wearing whatever fits and helps me blend in” Wearing whatever fits has been the story of my life! Thank you for being such an inspiration 🙏 looking forward to seeing you develop your unique style!
My goal is learning to be more confident and learning to love myself. I also want to work on my budgeting and saving up for a home. Happy new year Bea and everyone! I pray for a better year for all of us and hope we all reach our goals for 2021!
I was having an anxiety attack this morning and decided to calm myself with your videos because you are the bomb. To hear you are having anxiety and staying inside also is comforting that im not an odd ball. Me and you are So much alike and I'm thankful for your videos.. as I watch and laugh and listen my heart slows down🥰🥰🥰🥰 love you
I’m buying a house right now too and I fully relate to the struggle (and pre-house hoarding pile).
You're definitely going to glow up 💗 already glowing 💗 reading more is one of my 2021 goals, too and going strong so far. Since I had my daughter my brain was just shrinking, had no time to read and now I feel like I just have to make time, being a mum cannot be my excuse to go braindead. You're lovely and a pleasure to watch 💗
That is definitely my theme song. 😂😫 here trying to get back to the “little less fat again”
Me too!! I have binge watched Bea's back catalogue again to motivate me 😊
I was feeling emotionally drained and unmotivated today. But watching your video and how transparent you are about falling off the bandwagon but not giving up, i just felt uplifted and a lot better. Thank you for posting :)
“This is the porch cat, Jaclyn Hill” that’s transcendental levels of shade
Hey Bea! I'm on a Weight Loss Journey and 👏🏽LET👏🏽ME 👏🏽TELL👏🏽YOU👏🏽 Your videos have been keeping me motivated! Keep up the good work!!!
I started swimming a couple of years ago. I started with a class at my local Y and it was super helpful getting a basic form down. I recommend something like that when those options open up again.
GREAT GOALS! X One thing that remains the same, in this very changeable world, is YOU. You continue to be hilarious - in a very good way! Making us all smile. And in all that clowning around, you actually hand out many nuggets of wisdom and truth, contrary to how you see yourself! Keep going Bea. You've sown the seeds in 2020 - looking forward to watching you bloom this year! X
12:06, realizing that a lot lately. External motivation vs internal motivation. I'm so use to doing things for others but am bad at doing things for myself.
My goals in 2021:
-try to love my self more
-try to be fearless about failure
-be healthy for my emotion and for my weight
-try to find my passion
- if i found my passion i well billed skills for it
Its gone 2am here in the UK, was gonna go to sleep by saw my girl Bea posted a vid!
A quarterly update on the goals might be cool to document the year and see how things go
My dad always said growing old is unavoidable, growing up however is optional! The plus side of that mindset is I am 37 years old and people routinely think I'm 10 years younger. It's always nice.
You are definitely, ahead of me.. I got no goals yet. I enjoy watching your vlogs, helps me relate to myself. I'm always, always failing but you give the strength to continue. Thanks Bea for just being you! I'm right along side you with this weight challenge!!
Also for me I listen to audible books while working out. Helps me read more and work out
That's actually an awesome idea 😃
I love looking forward to all your shenanigans and thank you Bea for making me laugh and smile!! Goals, to journal, connect more with friends and loved ones every day, break a snack habit in the evening.
"There's no magic to the first of the year, or the month, or the week..." This is so true! There will always be a "better" or "more significant" time to do something but really the only time we have is right now, so I am going to make myself do things straight away this year. I managed to lose 6lbs in December which took me down into the next weight range, and meant I finished 2020 in a better place simply because I didn't wait for the New Year in order to start. I just need to apply that to every other area of my life now. 🤣🤣 Sending you all lots of love and happiness for 2021. Xxx
My most successful diet I've ever done started right away... on a Thursday!
Bea, it is SO comforting to hear you say all the things that I am also working on! SELF DISCIPLINE OMGGGGG it’s so hard but I will be right there with ya trying to cultivate that all! year! long! (Also the splits lol)
I am way to old for a long list of resolutions, so here is my “list”:
1. Loose 5 kg (at least) and stay on that weight.
2. Finish unfinished projects/objects (one down already)
All the best❤❤
I love that as a RUclipsr whether it was to document your goal or to gain popularity. ( granted I believe you’ve received much more popularity than you ever thought you would) that you are still very real and down to earth and show the true side of humanity. The flaws and humor and love and the draw backs and snags regular people have . I hate when you look and see false personas people create for views and they try to act perfect which essentially makes everyone else feel like crap . You are gorgeous and funny and bring so much entertainment. Even just shopping and joking about your outfit choices .
Omg the song is the most true song! I totally relate! Love ya B!
Bea, don't be so hard on yourself - you are hilarious! I am a very young 67 and am very entertained by you...YOU motivate ME!
“I’m gonna be forever young, because I’m immature” 😂
I recognise that!
I'm looking forward to seeing what you accomplish this year, Bea. No pressure, naturally.
Happy new year! my yearly goals are to walk more, lose all of my weight (50 lbs), be happy more sense I deal with lots of depression, self-discipline, and finally feeling more confident and sure of myself. I love your channel so much and to anyone reading, this does your 2021 right this year! we made it through 2020 we can do 2021!
Same weight loss goal as me!!
Hi Abigail. I watched this video by the "Goal Guys" that really made a lot of sense when it comes to losing weight. I am putting his tips into practice and it seems to help. ruclips.net/video/NCugIvns9GU/видео.html&ab_channel=GoalGuys
Also, I am trying to learn to skip rope since it burns more calories in less time than running, and on Instagram, people of all ages seem to be having fun doing it. Anyway, I suffer from depression too so trying to find fun in this weight loss journey is important. Bee is a great companion in this quest because she is keeping it real. Happy 2021.
@@TWROC96 Happy 2021! hope your fitness journey is growing and thriving in this new year!
i am working towards being the best me. trying to get more consistent with myself my channel and my business i will succeed i’ve started to find my people and it’s time to GROW thank
you B you are such a light and i love that it feels like we’re friends!
When you said, "Icon"...my brain immediately went to "Superstar" girl!!! LOL I love when you do the challenges! I'm 20 years older than you but I never even find these things unless you're doing them! Happy New Year, Bea!!!
My boyfriend and I just did a five year plan and our goals for 2021 are to re-evaluate our budget & start saving as well as develop healthier routines (going to bed earlier, walking the dog more often, yoga every day, cutting out soda & dairy)!
