As an Australian 21-year-old who has only ever had two standard drinks (due to my accord, not because of crazily strict parents or religious ideologies), it is nice to hear other people talk about the benefits of not consuming alcohol regularly. Not all young people are party-goers and I think this needs to be spoken about more!
Hi Rachel😊 I am glad to hear that you are feeling good! As an athlete, I never drink alcohol, I dislike the taste and the effect it has on people. So it is a big no for me. I always had friends who are in the same mindset as we quickly figured out that drinking is not beneficial and it ruins other part of your life. You can have fun in a lot of other ways 🎉😊
I identify a lot with how you describe the shift you felt last year! Also definitely agree on reducing alcohol and, specifically, reducing socially-induced drinking. I am also over it, but it can be hard when it is a habit in old friendships. I think covid has led to a lot of us pausing and re-evaluating our social lives and who we want to socialize with and in what ways -- I am trying to approach it much more intentionally now!
Yes to everything in this video!!! I have been watching your videos for a few years and it has served as an inspiration in my own life to get my own life on track. I always love your tips and the lessons you share. Thank you!! One thing I’ve been doing to is a highlights list - similar to a gratitude list but instead of trying to fish for things I’m grateful for, I actually look back on my month/year and look at actual things that I accomplished or that happened and how that changed me and how I want to improve from that or build on that. Very very helpful!!
Finally! So many of these I watch act like they never have a drop of alcohol and never get hangovers and it’s such a productivity killer! You can loose a day so thanks for this!
Are you me? This whole video resonated especially the food delivery, overeating & social aspect of trying to not drink…it’s so crazy when you really look at your habits and realize how unhealthy they can be but it took a while to get there and also takes a while to change them! The pandemic definitely did not help me with those habits…I also feel like i’m going to lose friends when i totally stop drinking but i think the right people will get it and also have the same values as me…i’m 25 so that in between stage where some are still fully enjoying their alix earle eras but others are much more into the next chapter like myself but it feels like there aren’t too many people romanticizing this aspect of it such as staying in and cooking to save money or finding activities outside drinking! great video 😊
I like this, and I, for one, would love to see a video about your last habit mentioned. Like, what categories, and what steps or actions to take for each one. It seems like it would be a HUGE daily “to do” list, but I do what you said you did in that I get started on something, and other areas get pushed aside or forgotten. I want to STOP doing that!
Such great habits indeed.. so glad you have your life together,, i can see how confident and happy you sound now. Could you share with us some of the meals you cook? I know you said they are pretty basic, but basic is all i need right now 😅
Love this video. It’s amazing how many small habits snowball and have dramatic effects. I talk to my teens about it all the time and desperately want them to install good habits for their lives. We eat at the table together 9/10 times which is just one simple habit. But along with that it regulates the time we eat, we make eye contact, chat, listen, phone free time, eat the same food so eat a more varied diet (not just our favourite), team effort setting table.clearing up) etc I love a planner and ideally plan my week on a Sunday & meal plan M-Th meals. I also have weekly (cleaning) & monthly jobs (birthdays, recycling etc) I like to do. I recently heard ‘you are your habits’ which makes sense (you can’t call yourself a runner if you don’t run). I’ve enjoyed Feel Better in 5 by Dr Chatterjee which includes lots of 5 min habits. I love to plan huge life changes/habits but the reality is I’m more likely to do and maintain something small and hopefully it snowballs into more. Love hearing podcast with James Clear and watching routine video. Would love to hear more about your list even if it’s super basic
Hi rachel would love an updated what i eat in a day from you since you’re eating more at home would be interesting to see and get ideas. Sending much love.
I am seriously loving your videos! I’m having a bit of a life blah in every aspect of it and in a bit of a hole and these type of content that you make are so helpful and so comforting that I’m not the only one like your last video so thank you I will be trying out some of these habits and see how I go, specially the life to do list! ❤
You are so beautiful and inspiring. You are one of my fave vloggers. So glad that you are doing what works best for you and fulfills you. Cooking more at home definitely saves money and is usually healthier, depending on what you eat! I hate to cook but started cooking more this year and last year. It has improved our finances and makes my hubby happier. 😊 Your coffees always look so good! Love your blouse and nails!
Remember the video when you couldn't figure out what you wanted to do with life in Canada? You've come so far since then. Great job on working on yourself Rachel. Xx
I'm 23 and I strongly align with so many of these habits! Especially around alcohol. I find this was strongly associated with the people that I surrounded myself with.
Hi Rachel ☀️ been watching your videos since 2014 because they are that helpful!!! Could you make a video of some advices or tips on how to always look put together! I’m starting this new job at the office and I would love to see your helpful videos. Thank u💖
I removed coffee from my life and got back my ”natural” energy cycle, to rest when i’m tired and my energy (without creating it) have come back! Also, i stepped drinking alcohol 5 years ago:-) never looked back!
It’s crazy to hear you ordered so much food before, you have inspired me to really cook for myself. The last video you did or a couple back you made a burger and it just looked so good… so I’ve had a burger with all the fixings like 4 times since lol. Your breakfast that you would make in Canada looked so yummy so then I had to make whatever you made lol. You inspired me to really take the time and put in work to treat myself with my own service and attention to details.
Yeah, I definitely cut down towards the end of last year, but a lot of the expense came from going out to restaurants. I want to save restaurants for a more special things I think. Makes it more fun that way, rather than going multiple times a week. Im so glad you feel that way, its nice to listen to what you need and do that for yourself 😊
Being less social has saved me a lot of money and I’m saving so much more money than I ever did. I’m an introvert so I enjoy my time alone at home so any excuse to stay home watching Netflix is great 👍🏽. So I agree with that. I don’t drink alcohol so whenever I go out with people I have my own bill separate from everyone and I always pay less coz my drinks are always cheap 😊.
Hey Rachel, super random question maybe to answer in a video but how do you suggest managing money when it’s in two countries and two currencies? Any chance you could create a spreadsheet for that? I’d buy it ❤
Hey Meg Thats something I am still trying to figure out. I run in both AUD and CAD and right now just to track I am switching my CAD to AUD but its not entirely accurate. I definitely need to do a dual currency planner, still doing some research on whats the best way to go about it 😊
I make a yearly by months… to do list of all the recurring this I want/ need to do mixed with my goals… adjusting it every Dec. Ex: read 2 books a month (every month) is a goal Renew my CE& cosmo license is in July every other year. Etc.
Can you make a video going more in depth with the Life to do list? I’d like to start one for my life but I don’t know what it physically looks like/how you incorporate it!
I love the habit of being less social .. COVID hit me hard and even though we’re back to “normal” I still don’t want to see my friends as much as I use to. Still trying to adjust .. but staring to realise that my new normal is more alone time 🤍 loving your recent videos xx
I think its totally ok to feel that way. As long as you're not isolating yourself in an unhealthy way, I think its really important to make time the develop the relationship with yourself. All balance 😊 Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying them. I've definitely been chatting a little more than usual. Its nice to connect more
This was damn useful. Love it. Btw I feel like your mental Twin. And I feel like somehow we are very much aligning on the life's approach as the life goes. Feels good
Drink in moderation can be a difference. If your out with true friends, they accept it when you dont drink on a night or switch to water after 2 drinks. Social shouldnt be linked to alcohol. Evenings without alcohol can be fun too.
I saw your other comment to someone else. Is everything ok? I still drink alcohol, theres nothing wrong with alcohol. I mentioned it in the video. I'd recommend watching to see exactly what was said. Its about balance. Being social does not mean you need to drink. I don't like partying, its not for me but for others its a great choice. I started to find last year certain people will on be friends with you if you go out partying. I decided I didn't need those friendships. I also don't need to be as social, I don't need to see other people multiple days per week, I like my alone time. These comments about alcohol have upset you and I think its important to think about why. Like I said watch the video and I think you'll find its not what you think. 💛💛💛💛

Big ups to you girl, you are doing absolutely perfect 😊.

That's a really nice idea, I'll try that too 👍🥰
Hi Rachelle, I would love to hear more about the life to do list and the tracking budgeting. Would be great if you did a video on these areas 😊❤

I haven’t missed one of your videos in yeaaaars, I have to say that you keep me motivated throughout the weeks! ❤
Im so glad, thank you for watching 😊

You inspire me to continue to make money free. A walk. Exercices at home. Cooking and books and series.
Especially the books... There are millions of incredibly goods books to read!!
Thank you so much for sharing this!
Thank you for watching 💛
I removed coffee from my life and got back my ”natural” energy cycle, to rest when i’m tired and my energy (without creating it) have come back! Also, i stepped drinking alcohol 5 years ago:-) never looked back!
I've never drank alcohol but I have been trying to stop drinking coffee for over one year now... I am a caffeine junkie and it is so hard...
It’s crazy to hear you ordered so much food before, you have inspired me to really cook for myself.

Definitely will be something I'll do soon 😊💛
Rachel would you do a house tour?? the house looks beautiful!! enjoy peaceful and quality time to yourself!!
Obviously it's someone else's house
Thank you for sharing so many helpful tips!
I've just got a client from UK who use Notion, so I've just learnt Notion since yesterday (finger cross... since I used to do Excel)...
I hope its been a smooth ride so far learning Notion 💕💕
I've had a very similar experience giving up alcohol - truly a game-changer :)
It really is hey, just feels lighter 😊
💯 agree about alcohol… I quit alcohol in my mid 30s, about 6 years ago… feel like I was a slow learner!
not a slow learner at all. 💛
I love the habit of being less social .. COVID hit me hard and even though we’re back to “normal” I still don’t want to see my friends as much as I use to. Still trying to adjust .. but staring to realise that my new normal is more alone time 🤍 loving your recent videos xx

This was very helpful! Thank you!💖
I'm so glad 😊💛
You mention not being big on exercising... does that include sports? Maybe a sport would help? (Tennis, basketball, padel/squash or someting)
I've thought about sports, I want to see if theres something i can do while travelling around, probably a non team sport 😊
I love this video so much, thanks for sharing! 🤍🤍
Glad you enjoyed it! ✨🧡
Great video. Love your nails. Glad you arenfeeling better.
Aw thank you 😊
my favourite youtuber ❤️💕
This was damn useful.
Love it.
Btw I feel like your mental Twin.
And I feel like somehow we are very much aligning on the life's approach as the life goes.
Feels good
Oh I love that for us 😊 😊
❤ trying to reduce food delivery as well it gets so pricey!
it really does, doesn't it. The prices seem to keep going up and I'm saving it for more special days as opposed to multiple times a week 💛
Excellent!!! 👏👏👏😃
i love it so much
Thank you for this
Your life to do list sounds a little like the makselife system but for to dos instead of for goals
We all bounced back easily when we were 22 lolzzzz
Drink in moderation can be a difference. If your out with true friends, they accept it when you dont drink on a night or switch to water after 2 drinks.
Social shouldnt be linked to alcohol.
Evenings without alcohol can be fun too.
Definitely will be doing something like that soon 😊💛
Be patient with yourself. Personal development is a marathon, not a sprint.
Every decision you make changes your life in stone way. 😅
are u wearing a life jacket im confused
It’s a tee with shoulder pads. There’s a link in the description if you’d like to see more of what it’s about 😊
@bettercreating has great follow-along Notion trainings that have really helped me find my ideal system. Definitely recommend that channel!😊
These comments... I'll just skip this video 😔
Whats wrong with the comments?
I saw your other comment to someone else. Is everything ok? I still drink alcohol, theres nothing wrong with alcohol. I mentioned it in the video. I'd recommend watching to see exactly what was said. Its about balance. Being social does not mean you need to drink. I don't like partying, its not for me but for others its a great choice. I started to find last year certain people will on be friends with you if you go out partying. I decided I didn't need those friendships. I also don't need to be as social, I don't need to see other people multiple days per week, I like my alone time. These comments about alcohol have upset you and I think its important to think about why. Like I said watch the video and I think you'll find its not what you think. 💛💛💛💛
