Love the idea of gentle goals. I had decided this year to just do New Years "adjustments." Basically picking things I'm already doing and improve them little by little or pick some things that I need to get back on track with. Then as I start to see more progress I can add brand new goals. Thanks for all you do to help keep us HSP calm and focused!
My 2023 Goals include hugging more, slowing down, reducing screen time to read more and enjoy more puzzles and board games, as well as a cash only year. Wishing you the best 2023!
love the title Vera chose, you're so detail about it.. and one of the most challenging goals I hafta cut down this year, is spending a lot of money in the café, since I'm a coffee addict and I ain't got a coffee machine at home yet ☕😔
A great tip for hydration is adding a pinch of Himalayan or Celtic salt (you DONT want it salty!) to your water bottle. It will salinate the water and replace electrolytes. You don’t want to waste all that water by eliminating it in the bathroom all day.
Your ins and outs video was so impactful for me! I started tracking what I was getting rid of on Dec 20, 2022. I didn't include what I was bringing in, but I know it was far less than usual as I was preparing to do a low spend year for 2023. Once I started keeping track of what I was getting rid of, I was motivated to get rid of even more! Since Dec 20, I've gotten rid of over 1,030 items!!!!
Hi, Vera!! Happy New Year!! So nice to see your video today!! Here in Brazil it is a very special moment of freedon from a genocide president! I am so, so happy! You can not imagine!! Good to whatch you in this especial day!!💕✊🏽 (Sorry for any enghish mistake!) Love from 🇧🇷🎉🙌🏽
Bravo, Carol! En Uruguay muchos nos alegramos por el regreso de Lula! Espero que pronto pueda comenzar a reparar tanta injusticia y corrupción. Brasil merece lo mejor. Un abrazo 🙋🏻♀️
I love yr ideas on gentle goals and slow living. I lost d motivation to exercise I love how u move yr body every other day not for d sake of looking good but to b healthy
Thank you for this thoughtful and light message. It's a great way to start the day and the year. When all the messages are to do all the things, I appreciate the gentle reminder to take a slower, intentional approach.💖
I kept an in and out list last year. I was inspired by your bullet journal video (I love your journal videos!) It was such a good tool. It really made me evaluate and help me with handling the physical stuff in my life. I'm doing it again this year and am looking forward to comparing the results.
what brilliant goals you are setting; i love the one about accepting the bad things and being thankful for the good; i am very happy that i already do some of these things; hugging people, telling my hubby and son i love them and paying people compliments; you are right it makes me feel good as well as them; you are definately my favourite you tuber x
☆Sweet Vera, "Happy Fruitful New Year 2023"☆ Indeed your encouraging sharing on gentle goals for the New Year in 2023 will definitely motivate us to hv such heart's desire to hv a good challenging headstart. Thanks so much. Cheers 🥂 👏 👏 🎆 🍀❤️
Hi Vera, I wish you a great 2023 with your family and friends. I love your list, especially the part about hugs, compliments and stopping gossip. Every action we can take to spread compassion is much needed.
I love this! I've been feeling overwhelmed looking at and trying to come up with new years goals and resolutions and it's just been stressing me out and none are things I want to commit to. All I came up with was that the theme of this year is "well being." I love these simple slow goals and I'm going to incorporate some!
I really like all of the gentle goals. I'm going to work on drinking more water and no phone 30 mins before bed and after waking up. I'm also going to try and work on getting more sleep. I stay up to late then get up early. I really like watching your videos you are so calming.
Happy New Year Vera!! Great message. It's also interesting that most of what you said aligns with Christian beliefs and values. Things like faith, positivity and forgiveness are things that I try to follow through my Christian faith. Thanks for sharing on such matters and the encouragement. I look forward to more uplifting content from you in 2023!☺
I love your idea of keeping track of items decluttered and items bought; I plan on doing this in the new year! It never occurred to me to keep track of the items both in and out and I've been practicing minimalism since 2015! I feel like this will hold me more accountable for what I allow to come into my house! Thank you so much!
Hi Vera happy 2023!🎉🌟 Saying/ showing l love you is so important.. Contenment/ thankfulness will be in my focus. Less media more walking and yoga are my priorities. Go with the changes, accept them and see what or where it brings you... 🛣️
Hey Vera! Thanks for sharing your goals with us. Your last one of spend more time in silence resonates most with me. I've already signed up for a silent meditation retreat. And I'm hoping to cultivate a better relationship with myself by spending more time with myself. Hope anyone reading this has a wonderful year!
Very well crafted video... peaceful, inspiring, positive and constructive..i wish to be conscious about my screen usage and devote few non screen hours everyday
So happy to hear that!! 🥰❤️💕 Thanks you Tina. I wish you a Happy New Year and an amazing 2023! 🤗✨🥂🍵 Thank you so much for all your support all this time!
Oh my word! Happy New Year! This spoke to several things I’ve been considering applying to my life! Thank you for your simple ideas on how to live better, as always.
Hi, Vera, I relate to many of the items you pointed out. Hug myself is definitely my favourite and I will certainly do it. I also loved the “give one compliment a day”. I’m a bit of an hermit 😊, but I always do that on instagram to the people I follow. I actually agree completely with the social media detox and I only have instagram and I only follow artists, so when I am there I only have positive relationships and comments and feedback. I follow few people and that is so nice, because I have time to comment and interact without spending hours on that. I loved the “tell people you love them”, “stop gossiping” and “say something nice to yourself”😊😊 I spend some time of my day in silence for a few years now and it’s really awesome, in my opinion. You shouldn’t postpone going to the doctor 😉 In Portugal, the national health care system is very good and I never fail or postpone an appointment. It was very important when I had breast cancer. As always, I loved your video. Happy New Year ❤️💛💙💜🖤🧡💚💗♥️
Thank you for creating this inspirational list. I particularly liked the ‘spend more time in silence’ goal. You have inspired me to create a cozy corner in my home with a relaxing chair and aim to start my day there with a cup of tea. Best wishes for the coming year.
Right now I’m just trying to establish better boundaries and keeping toxic people off my turf more. Create a more “me” and more private space for myself. I think the most useful one to me will be looking in the mirror and telling myself a nice thing about myself every day or at least reinforcing to myself why I made certain decisions as to increase my self trust and inner resolve. This is prob needed the most Bcuz my default inner critic and toxic people will always be trying to make you second guess yourself and not keep standing your ground with your chosen boundaries. Perhaps by mid year my default will be a lot different if I keep that up.
Hi vera .I am learning English with your videos.🥰 my goal in this year is I can speak fluency and nice like you😍🙏 and learn english very well. Love you Vera🌻🌹
Happy New Year to you too. For me it is time to practice more of the things I learned the last couple of months from your and other videos. So I will take small steps to implement these and ofcourse I will continue decluttering my house. This month I have a month of not spending except for fruit and veggies and finishing of everything that is in my freezer and pantry.
So many great ideas here Vera, I will write down some of these goals and try to practice them this year. A few would be give a hug to someone and myself each day, trying a new activity each month, move my body every other day, track my ins & outs and making appointments and keeping them which I am terrible at. I wanted to pick only 5 that I really need to work on and could benefit from. Have a great 2023 Vera! 🤗
Hello and Happy New Year to you. It was lovely to see this video on the first day of the new year. You always have such a calm gentle vioce and your suggestions are inspiring. Looking forward to seeing your weekly videos. Hugs from the UK. xx
Happy New Year! A lot of good things to try in this video. I definitely will be doing a journal with goals and ins/outs as I work on continuing to eliminate unnecessary items from our home. I did well in 2022 until the holidays and I got busy as well as bought a few extras for myself that I probably could have done without! 🤣
Happy New Year to you too Flo! Happy you enjoyed the video. :) Wishing you an amazing 2023 and good luck with recording your ins and outs this year! 🤗✨🥂🍵
Great tips Vera. I no longer make goals as I used to but aim to do things to live more slowly, intentionally and simply . I have more time to be with the people I love and for solitude. Happy New Year xx 🕯️🌸
Happy New Year Vera. My goal for 2023 is to declutter all of my life,both physically and mentally. This has been encouraged and inspired by your ebook, which I have found so helpful. May I say how glad I am to have found your channel and how your calming voice and great advice is helping me to turn my life around. Thank you.
Aw thank you so much for your kind message! So happy my decluttering ebook and channel have been helpful for you. Wishing you all the best for 2023 and good luck with your decluttering goals! 🤗✨🎉
Your tips for decluttering really resonated with me too and I spent the last few days doing a big declutter. It feels so much better- thank you! I had also already decided to do a social media detox but I chose three months, just to really detox. I find that most of what I see in terms of ads and news on there is massively negative and it had a terrible impact on my mental health the last few years. Happy New Year, Vera! ❤ From Kansas USA
Thanks so much for sharing! So happy to hear that decluttering is helping you :) Also, I'm excited for your social media detox! I think it's great that you're committed like that :) Happy New Year to you too, wishing you an amazing 2023! 🤗✨🥂🍵
Thanks so much for this video! I loved ALL your goals and will try to implement at least some of them. Another one I would like to suggest is to stop multi-tasking - always do only one thing at a time.Multi-tasking is inefficient and stressful. It's really hard to avoid (at least for me, I had to stop myself from posting this message until after I finished a task I was working on, and at the same time anwering whatssup messages), but I believe the benefits are endless. Have a simple, happy 2023!
Bliadhna Mhath Ùr (Happy New Year) Hi Vera, I hope that you and your family had a really nice new year and that 2023 is a really good year for you all. Best wishes and lots of love. xx
Happy New Year Vera. Thank you for a new way of starting fresh in the new year. They were all great goals. I'm always giving hugs and telling people I love them but I need to be more loving to myself.❤
Morning Vera! Thank you for this video, these ideas really do resonate with me and I look forward to making some of them a priority on my more minimalist and slower lifestyle journey.
Heart of Kentucky. SIMPLE HAPPY ZEN. Hi beautiful VERA in Pink, in the NETHERLANDS. Happy New Year! I still pray for you and yours to be blessed. VERA, you are a blessing to all of us. I'm going to watch your video twice, because you gave such good advice for 2023. God bless BRAZIL! Katie.
Happy New Year Vera. I just wanted to say how inspired i have been by your videos especially over the last year. You have kept me motivated on my own simplifying journey. Today i sorted 22 items in honour of the year 2022 just gone. Thankyou for your calming influence.
Happy New Year to you Vera! I need to say more nice things to myself, this will be the main one. I also need to believe what I say good about myself in order for it to help. This is my downfall so far is not believing it.
Happy New Year Darren! You know, I think the fact that you're even trying this and doing your best, means you think you're worth it :) It's a great thing. Because otherwise you wouldn't have cared enough to try :) So you can feel free to believe all the nice things you say to yourself :) The beauty is that the intention is the most important and powerful thing
Happy new year dear Vera ! I wish you all the best for 2023🍀💝. Thank you for this reminder to be kind to oneself and take things a little bit easier. I definetely try some of your ideas, for example doing something new each month, trying 1 new meal each week, saying something nice to myself and tracking my "in and outs". Honestly...I will try a lot more of these ideas😃 The point of not gossipping is something I already implemented last year as well as drinking more water (not easy !). It is crazy how bad habits influence our sense of wellbeing and how oftentimes it is so hard to change them 🙃. So again thanks for your gentle reminder. I intend to rewatch it every month to be motivated 🪄💫 A little note here concerning your offer: I already purchased all 3 of them when they came out and can really recommend them !!! I even started to reread your decluttering E Book today ( to me it is a kind of selfcare😉) which immediately made me tackle one area of clutter 😅 Lots of love to you💖
Happy new year! I'm going to do the silence challenge. And I will add time tracking, at least for a month. I have become good tracking my money and work time (teacher here), but I 'm still so drained. So need to track where is my time and energy going so fast I don't even notice.
I just love❤watching You,It’s so relaxing and I’m learning a lot from You😊….You inspired me on a lot of things.I watch Your blog everyday,and I also told my love ones to watch You,it will also inspire them.Pls keep up the great job You’re doing ,and continue to inspire more people and put smiles in their faces and in their heart❤❤❤because it does to me.Stay well so You can continue to make us happy.
Thank you for the idea of saying something nice to myself every day. Love that. My new ideas for this year are to keep up with the dishes every night & to walk my dog more often. ❤
Happy New Year Vera!! These gentle goals are great. I just created a tracker in my journal as I need to stay on track if I'm to accomplish what I need to this year. Your gentle goal reminders will definitely help me throughout 2023.
Happy New Year, Vera ! Your list contained some things that I really want to incorporate in my life for 2023. The biggest things for me are to cut down on screen time so I can read more (in silence!). I also want to be more mindful of how I spend my money. Since there are larger ticket items that are coming up in the next couple of years (I finally broke down and bought a new mattress and linen sheets. I accounted for it in the “medical portion of my budget!) I need to learn to make a wish list and save in advance for as many of the “wants” as I can in 2023. There are so many of the things on your list that resonate with me, but these are my major “works-in-process” for 2023. Here’s to a wonderful 2023 for all of us. 🎉
Wonderful list. I truly value #23. I don't take my phone on my morning walks and it gets turned off and goes into my desk drawer one hour before heading off to bed.
Yay, great to start off the year with a new video! I’m doing a no/low buy year to get back to embracing a minimalist lifestyle and simplify things, along with a few other goals.
Happy new year Vera! Thank you for the video. I will be attempting 30 minutes of no screens before bed. I don’t always check my phone first thing in the morning, but I do tend to hang on it a bit too long at night. Especially now during the holidays. That will be my goal. No screens 30 minutes prior to bed.
Happy New Year Vera! So many of your gentle 2023 goals are simple and sustainable. I'm going to add one more. My 24th goal would be to watch your video on the day it is released. This will help me start the week in a mindful way.
ベラさん、明けましておめでとうございます🎍🌅いつも素敵な動画をありがとうございます！ Your channel always heals me that so sweet. Last year I stopped using IG that was honestly hard sometimes because it was kind of addictive. However it reminded me that was able to feel and enjoy present moment. So IG seems to be not mine at now idk in the future. A lots of love to you💕💕
Thank you so much Anri!! 明けましておめでとう!🤗🌱✨🌺 I think it's great you've been taking some time to evaluate how IG is impacting you, and how you want to use it in the future :)
"Read any book that intrigues you; you don't have to read non-fiction books to learn things." As a child I read low fantasy and some realistic fiction, but nowadays I find non-fiction more satisfying. That's because fiction changed: fantasy is more wizardry, science fiction is medieval battles, realistic fiction is more disturbing with every social problem packed in. In contrast, I want to read non-fiction about right-brain/left-brain science, public transit, minimalism, environmental issues, languages, geopolitics, chemistry, and physics because it's more satisfying and non-disturbing. I keep trying newer fiction books on the shelf in the library to give them a chance, and I can't get past ten pages of them. Mysteries are the only fiction genre where my interest has increased: most of the fiction I read now is mysteries. But again it's not most mysteries, just a few authors I've found. I keep trying other authors but rarely have luck with them.
Hi Vera! Happy new year to you and your family. What a great video to start 2023 with. Definitely going to keep track of what comes in and what goes out. Thank you for the reminder to take a more gentle approach to life this year. Some great tips from you once again. And enjoy the tea ceremony Vera!♥️
Happy New Year Vera! Love this video - especially the in and out journal/tracker idea. I’m attempting a low buy year with only essentials and using up what I have before buying again. That idea would help! Thank you for sharing this 🙏🏼
Hi Vera we are in March and I often come back to this video to remind me to bring some kidness to the world. So thank you for this and keep making your inspirational work 🌸 (Sorry if my english is wrong, I am french 😅)
Best wishes for the new year Vera. All these goals resonate with me! As I get more older, my focus is on living more simply, intentionally and slowly. Your videos keep me focused on that. Truly appreciate your content. It's so uplifting, calming and encouraging. Thank you. ❤
Wishing you (& your family } a very happy healthy 2023 🙏 pink suits you. The content of this video was so helpful - I already do many of your suggestions. Lol ❤

@@SpiritedAppaloosa thanks! I’ll see how it goes…😬🤣
Yes! This is the only way I'm successful with it. There's probably some dopamine science thing to it.
My 2023 Goals include hugging more, slowing down, reducing screen time to read more and enjoy more puzzles and board games, as well as a cash only year. Wishing you the best 2023!
Be gentle with yourself! 🐞
Compliment yourself
Let people you love them

Go with the changes, accept them and see what or where it brings you... 🛣️
Sounds great!! Happy New Year and I hope you'll have an amazing year! 🤗✨🥂🍵
Hey Vera! Thanks for sharing your goals with us. Your last one of spend more time in silence resonates most with me. I've already signed up for a silent meditation retreat. And I'm hoping to cultivate a better relationship with myself by spending more time with myself. Hope anyone reading this has a wonderful year!
Very well crafted video... peaceful, inspiring, positive and constructive..i wish to be conscious about my screen usage and devote few non screen hours everyday
Thank you so much, that's nice to hear :) Good luck with your goals about screen time!
Hi Vera, your last three videos have impacted me on thinking about spending and what I allow in my house. All great tips today. ❤️

Thank you so much! :)
Happy New Year, Vera! One goal I have for 2023 is to eat slower.
I took a social media break in 2016 and I never logged back into Facebook or instagram since. ❤
Awesome!! :)
Such simple yet sound advice! Thank you Vera! Wishing you health and happiness throughout 2023!
Happy to hear it, thank you so much!! Happy new year to you too, may it be filled with love, laughter and many tea breaks 😁🌺🍵
Hello and Happy New Year to you.
It was lovely to see this video on the first day of the new year. You always have such a calm gentle vioce and your suggestions are inspiring. Looking forward to seeing your weekly videos. Hugs from the UK. xx
Aw thank you so much Lilian! Happy New Year to you too! 🤗✨🥂🍵
Happy New Year! A lot of good things to try in this video. I definitely will be doing a journal with goals and ins/outs as I work on continuing to eliminate unnecessary items from our home. I did well in 2022 until the holidays and I got busy as well as bought a few extras for myself that I probably could have done without! 🤣
Happy New Year to you too Flo! Happy you enjoyed the video. :) Wishing you an amazing 2023 and good luck with recording your ins and outs this year! 🤗✨🥂🍵
Great tips Vera. I no longer make goals as I used to but aim to do things to live more slowly, intentionally and simply . I have more time to be with the people I love and for solitude.
Happy New Year xx 🕯️🌸
Your videos are so relaxing.
Happy to hear it :) Thanks Charlene!
These goals are wonderful!! They are simple, but so easy to forget on the hustle and bustle of life. Thank you for the wonderful list.
Happy to hear you enjoyed the video Julia! 🤗💕
Gentle goals💜 💜 My word of the year is grace. I want to remember to be kind to myself.
Oh so lovely!!! I might steal that 😉🤗
@@SimpleHappyZen Haha, please do!
Happy New Year Vera. My goal for 2023 is to declutter all of my life,both physically and mentally. This has been encouraged and inspired by your ebook, which I have found so helpful. May I say how glad I am to have found your channel and how your calming voice and great advice is helping me to turn my life around. Thank you.
Aw thank you so much for your kind message! So happy my decluttering ebook and channel have been helpful for you. Wishing you all the best for 2023 and good luck with your decluttering goals! 🤗✨🎉
Your tips for decluttering really resonated with me too and I spent the last few days doing a big declutter. It feels so much better- thank you! I had also already decided to do a social media detox but I chose three months, just to really detox. I find that most of what I see in terms of ads and news on there is massively negative and it had a terrible impact on my mental health the last few years. Happy New Year, Vera! ❤ From Kansas USA
Thanks so much for sharing! So happy to hear that decluttering is helping you :) Also, I'm excited for your social media detox! I think it's great that you're committed like that :) Happy New Year to you too, wishing you an amazing 2023! 🤗✨🥂🍵
Omg…that SMILE🥰🤩😇
🥰Love this. I save it so I can watch and remind myself all though the year. Thank you Vera. Happy New Year's to You and Yours. 🪴
Hi. Thank you for the things you share with us those are helpful for me
Thanks so much for this video! I loved ALL your goals and will try to implement at least some of them. Another one I would like to suggest is to stop multi-tasking - always do only one thing at a time.Multi-tasking is inefficient and stressful. It's really hard to avoid (at least for me, I had to stop myself from posting this message until after I finished a task I was working on, and at the same time anwering whatssup messages), but I believe the benefits are endless. Have a simple, happy 2023!
Thank you so much! I agree about the multi-tasking :)

Aw thank you so much!! Happy New Year to you too! Wishing you and yours an amazing 2023, with lots of laughter, peace and happiness! 🤗✨🥂🍵
Happy New Year Vera. Thank you for a new way of starting fresh in the new year. They were all great goals. I'm always giving hugs and telling people I love them but I need to be more loving to myself.❤
That sounds like a great goal to work on this year! :) Happy New Year to you and yours! 🤗🎊🍀💐💖
Morning Vera! Thank you for this video, these ideas really do resonate with me and I look forward to making some of them a priority on my more minimalist and slower lifestyle journey.
I'm happy to hear it 🌺🤗✨
Those are all wonderful goals, so many of which I prescribe to and will make a point to continue in 2023. Happy New Year Vera!
Glad to hear it! :) Wishing you a Happy New Year as well, may it be filled with love, laughter and lots of tea :)
Vera, I'm glad to see you in the beginning of this new year. Thank u for your advice, best wishes!
Thanks so much Eduardo!! Happy New Year to you too! 🤗✨🥂🍵 Hope you'll have an awesome 2023
@@SimpleHappyZen I'm really happy to read you comment Vera, hugs 🤗
My goal is to make more room for joy in 2023 ❤
Heart of Kentucky. SIMPLE HAPPY ZEN. Hi beautiful VERA in Pink, in the NETHERLANDS. Happy New Year! I still pray for you and yours to be blessed. VERA, you are a blessing to all of us. I'm going to watch your video twice, because you gave such good advice for 2023. God bless BRAZIL! Katie.
Thank you Vera! I needed to hear quite a few of these! Thanks for the great start to 2023 ✨
Happy to hear the video resonated with you Trish, wishing you an amazing 2023! 🤗🌱✨
Happy new I love to regularly watch you. Thank you for everything you do and provide for us, you bring joy to my life x
Thank you very much once again
You're so welcome :)
Thank you, Vera. I'm going to try to hike more this year.💚
Wonderful goal!! Enjoy the hikes :)
Happy New Year 🥳 To be the happiest for everyone 🎉 Thank you Vera for everything you are sharing with us ❤️
Happy New Year to you too Sanja, thank you as always for your support!! 🤗🌱✨🌺
Happy New Year Vera. I just wanted to say how inspired i have been by your videos especially over the last year. You have kept me motivated on my own simplifying journey. Today i sorted 22 items in honour of the year 2022 just gone. Thankyou for your calming influence.
Happy New Year to you Vera! I need to say more nice things to myself, this will be the main one. I also need to believe what I say good about myself in order for it to help. This is my downfall so far is not believing it.
Happy New Year Darren! You know, I think the fact that you're even trying this and doing your best, means you think you're worth it :) It's a great thing. Because otherwise you wouldn't have cared enough to try :) So you can feel free to believe all the nice things you say to yourself :) The beauty is that the intention is the most important and powerful thing
Een mooi en liefdevol 2023 gewenst! ✨ Fijne video weer, dankjewel! 🌸
Ah dankjewel Esmeralda, hetzelfde voor jou!! 🤗✨
Happy new year dear Vera ! I wish you all the best for 2023🍀💝. Thank you for this reminder to be kind to oneself and take things a little bit easier. I definetely try some of your ideas, for example doing something new each month, trying 1 new meal each week, saying something nice to myself and tracking my "in and outs". Honestly...I will try a lot more of these ideas😃 The point of not gossipping is something I already implemented last year as well as drinking more water (not easy !). It is crazy how bad habits influence our sense of wellbeing and how oftentimes it is so hard to change them 🙃. So again thanks for your gentle reminder. I intend to rewatch it every month to be motivated 🪄💫
A little note here concerning your offer: I already purchased all 3 of them when they came out and can really recommend them !!! I even started to reread your decluttering E Book today ( to me it is a kind of selfcare😉) which immediately made me tackle one area of clutter 😅
Lots of love to you💖
Happy new year! I'm going to do the silence challenge.
And I will add time tracking, at least for a month. I have become good tracking my money and work time (teacher here), but I 'm still so drained. So need to track where is my time and energy going so fast I don't even notice.
Sounds very interesting Katrin, good luck with your goals! Let me know if you have some interesting findings :) Wishing you an amazing 2023! 🤗✨🥂🍵
Gentle goals make me feel happy :)
Happy to hear it! :)
I just love❤watching You,It’s so relaxing and I’m learning a lot from You😊….You inspired me on a lot of things.I watch Your blog everyday,and I also told my love ones to watch You,it will also inspire them.Pls keep up the great job You’re doing ,and continue to inspire more people and put smiles in their faces and in their heart❤❤❤because it does to me.Stay well so You can continue to make us happy.
Thank you for the idea of saying something nice to myself every day. Love that. My new ideas for this year are to keep up with the dishes every night & to walk my dog more often. ❤
Happy New Year! I really like the goal about reading more for fun.
Happy New Year to you too! 🤗🌱✨ Enjoy your reading time this year
Happy New Year Vera!! These gentle goals are great. I just created a tracker in my journal as I need to stay on track if I'm to accomplish what I need to this year. Your gentle goal reminders will definitely help me throughout 2023.
Happy to hear it!! Also, happy new year to you too! 💕✨🌱🥂🌺🍵🤗 May 2023 be an amazing year for you and yours
Very very practical and relaxing ideas...thnx Vera... God bless you...
Happy New Year, Vera ! Your list contained some things that I really want to incorporate in my life for 2023. The biggest things for me are to cut down on screen time so I can read more (in silence!). I also want to be more mindful of how I spend my money. Since there are larger ticket items that are coming up in the next couple of years (I finally broke down and bought a new mattress and linen sheets. I accounted for it in the “medical portion of my budget!) I need to learn to make a wish list and save in advance for as many of the “wants” as I can in 2023. There are so many of the things on your list that resonate with me, but these are my major “works-in-process” for 2023. Here’s to a wonderful 2023 for all of us. 🎉
Wonderful list. I truly value #23. I don't take my phone on my morning walks and it gets turned off and goes into my desk drawer one hour before heading off to bed.
That's great! So important :) Happy New Year Wlliam! ✨🥂🎉🎊🍀
Happy New Year and wishing you many blessing in 2023.
Happy New Year🤗🎇 My goal is to step outside because I want to. I have major anxiety about being outside so just walking down a block would be good.
Yay, great to start off the year with a new video! I’m doing a no/low buy year to get back to embracing a minimalist lifestyle and simplify things, along with a few other goals.
Happy new year Vera! Thank you for the video. I will be attempting 30 minutes of no screens before bed. I don’t always check my phone first thing in the morning, but I do tend to hang on it a bit too long at night. Especially now during the holidays. That will be my goal. No screens 30 minutes prior to bed.
Amazing! Good luck Mandy, I think you'll enjoy that one :)
Happy New Year Vera! So many of your gentle 2023 goals are simple and sustainable. I'm going to add one more. My 24th goal would be to watch your video on the day it is released. This will help me start the week in a mindful way.
ベラさん、明けましておめでとうございます🎍🌅いつも素敵な動画をありがとうございます！
Your channel always heals me that so sweet. Last year I stopped using IG that was honestly hard sometimes because it was kind of addictive. However it reminded me that was able to feel and enjoy present moment. So IG seems to be not mine at now idk in the future.
A lots of love to you💕💕
Thank you so much Anri!! 明けましておめでとう!🤗🌱✨🌺 I think it's great you've been taking some time to evaluate how IG is impacting you, and how you want to use it in the future :)
the one with compliments really resonated with me, thank you :)
Happy to hear it! :)
Happy New Year 2023 Vera to You and your family and all your subscribers. Thank you for a great tips. Have a lovely day.
"Read any book that intrigues you; you don't have to read non-fiction books to learn things." As a child I read low fantasy and some realistic fiction, but nowadays I find non-fiction more satisfying. That's because fiction changed: fantasy is more wizardry, science fiction is medieval battles, realistic fiction is more disturbing with every social problem packed in. In contrast, I want to read non-fiction about right-brain/left-brain science, public transit, minimalism, environmental issues, languages, geopolitics, chemistry, and physics because it's more satisfying and non-disturbing. I keep trying newer fiction books on the shelf in the library to give them a chance, and I can't get past ten pages of them. Mysteries are the only fiction genre where my interest has increased: most of the fiction I read now is mysteries. But again it's not most mysteries, just a few authors I've found. I keep trying other authors but rarely have luck with them.
Hi Vera! Happy new year to you and your family. What a great video to start 2023 with. Definitely going to keep track of what comes in and what goes out. Thank you for the reminder to take a more gentle approach to life this year. Some great tips from you once again. And enjoy the tea ceremony Vera!♥️
Thank you so much Kimberly, happy you found some helpful things in this video! :) Wishing you and yours an amazing 2023 🤗🌱✨🌺🥂
Happy New Year Vera! Love this video - especially the in and out journal/tracker idea. I’m attempting a low buy year with only essentials and using up what I have before buying again. That idea would help! Thank you for sharing this 🙏🏼
So happy to hear it! Good luck with your goals this year :) Wishing you a happy 2023! 🤗🌱🥂🎉🎊🍀
Thank you! Can you elaborate on where I can find more info on that? 😊
Hi Vera we are in March and I often come back to this video to remind me to bring some kidness to the world. So thank you for this and keep making your inspirational work 🌸
(Sorry if my english is wrong, I am french 😅)
Thanks for sharing these tips and ideas Vera and Happy New Year 🎉😊
Happy New Year to you too!! 🥂✨
Best wishes for the new year Vera. All these goals resonate with me! As I get more older, my focus is on living more simply, intentionally and slowly. Your videos keep me focused on that. Truly appreciate your content. It's so uplifting, calming and encouraging. Thank you. ❤

Happy New Year Vera! Thank you for you video, very inspiring. There’s a few I’m going to try, but the difficult one will be screen time.
These are great tips. Thanks. I would add one walk barefoot on the ground or earth once or twice a week.
