My 2021 will be interesting as I'm just starting to mentor an 11 year old on the autistic spectrum and with significant ADHD and anxiety challenges. Their father died when they were 5. I look forward to both good times and learning experiences with them this year and hopefully beyond.
I think this new year has started off tough for many people. The new year usually brings about feelings of optimism and a fresh start and frankly, nobody knows what the hell to expect for this year. I think people were getting through 2020 by thinking that they just had to make it through "the year" and things would be better in 2021. The continued restrictions, new strains, delay in the vaccine and the uncertainty as to what we can even plan for this year has left people feeling flat and frankly worn the 'eff out. Covid fatigue is real and for myself, I've decided against setting any goals for 2021. Not to say that I'm not going to continue to try and achieve things and feel productive, but I just don't want the pressure of naming anything. I just want to be fluid and be okay with whatever I can manage because lets face it, what I can manage in another 6 months might be alot different that what I can manage now. Right now I just try to keep my optimism up by thinking about and visualizing about how great things will be soon; when we can hug family and socialize with friends, when we can plan trips and live life more freely. I also really try to focus on the possibility that this pandemic might be exactly what this world needs; a reset of sorts. In the meantime I am using this time to plan and execute projects around the house. Doing some renos and DIY's, intensive cleaning, and soon I'll start researching gardening and how not to kill vegetables this year!
Yes, you can just be you!! your hard work has got you through so many different struggles and you deserve to breath and enjoy a contented place and I am so happy for you❤️
As an American, today was a great relief and day of celebration after four years of constant stress. I feel like a weight has been lifted knowing that he is no longer in our White House; problems still exist but it’s a start. For so many people in the U.S. today felt like Happy New Year’s! 🎆 🎉 🎇 🎊
The chill, quiet, relaxed vibe of this video is so great. The colour of that sweater on you is gorgeous! I feel I'm in a very similar place to you at the moment. Had a melt down a few weeks ago with my husband and my Mom helping me realize how little I practice self care, how detrimental it is to me, and how my unhappiness affects those around me. How amazing to have a couple people who know you and love you care enough to make me finally see it. Now I'm trying to figure out how to make small, attainable changes to get myself in a better place. I'm struggling with feeling very low and flat. I work and do the grind Monday to Friday, and by the time the weekend comes I have little to no energy to do the things I'd like. I really appreciate some of the things you shared and loved the insight about inconvenience vs a problem mindset. I'm glad you've been taking it easy with yourself, you remind me to do the same ❤️
@@maremchale That would be amazing and so appreciated! I've been meaning to go back through your videos as I remember a time that you talked about how you thought you were practicing all the self care things, but realized you weren't, and I feel like that's exactly where I'm at.
I had a week like that too recently.....down....sad....angry....unmotivated....hard to get up.......i've slowly gotten out of it but its still lingering in the background😔💕

I relate to this so much. I’ll share the small things that have helped me with esteem and energy lately.
