Last year 75% of my vision board came true so that's one thing I'm definitely bringing into 2023! All about taking it easy for my mental health this year

[@d26s10]

Love this! Congrats girl

[@ashleighpetch777]

As a hobbie you could do a small scrapbook of your travels. Make it really simple with a few of your favourite photos, the dates and a title, and maybe decorate around the photos. I'm doing one at the moment, I love looking back at all the good memories and it nice to have a dedicated place for that part of my life ❤

[@suzettelorraine6993]

I play the piano and love it. I think learning an instrument is a wonderful hobby. I'm a busy mom of 3 and I always like to find time to play. It's a very therapeutic hobby. Highly recommend.

[@meganjoy677]

There’s a reason why I’ve been watching you since I was about 15. I’ve never actually commented until now but I’ve always stuck around and this video was very motivating. Thanks M

[@d26s10]

Yes please do the affirmations video! Our thoughts become our things and positive thinking and talking to ourselves nicely is massive! I love to give myself a compliment in the mirror every morning. Does wonders for my self esteem. January is hard. We all need a little extra kindness and mental health encouragement x

[@rebeccalarner1]

A hobby you could do could be sewing. I started last year and I now have a whole wardrobe full of perfectly fitting clothes suiting my style perfectly. This year I want to sew things for my home so I’m going to make a quilt and throw pillows. Maybe some silk pillowcases too. It’s really fun choosing fabrics and patterns and there are also loads of sewing KZbinrs to follow

[@mirtetheunis2325]

My friends and I started doing a crea-afternoon every week, just trying out different types of arts and crafts while chatting/enjoying it in silence. It is really a moodchanger for me ‘cause I get so happy being creative! Also always enjoy a good dance class! Thanks for the tips Emily ❤️

[@abbiemalton96]

Really recommend learning to play an instrument as a hobby! I play the piano and it’s so nice to sit and play for an hour or so and not go on my phone or worry/stress about life. It’s such a good distraction from everything 😊

[@laurenbott6674]

I love the idea of setting a theme for each month! Definitely would make sticking to goals/priorities less monotonous and allow you to not feel guilty. Definitely trying this this year! X

[@khalilahd.]

I love that you set realistic goals and routines to slowly but surly get you to be the best version of yourself. And I don’t think you’re crazy for doing daily affirmations! I do them too and you’re right they’re so helpful ❤

[@EmilyCanham]

Yes slow and steady wins the race! I totally feel less alone now haha

[@teaganmackenzie3231]

A hobby I am taking up this year is the piano. I have always wanted to learn but have never gotten around to it!

[@jackyeffekt]

A hobby I started last year is crocheting and I love it. ☺️ makes great selfmade gifts (for easter last year i made everyone a crochet animal) and just helps me relax and get away from the pc and laptop for a few hours.

[@staceyturner7096]

Scrapbook. It fits in with memories and you could always start with your travels if you don’t feel like doing old photos. Project life can be a easy way to get started too.

[@JosieIrons]

I looooove the idea of having monthly priorities!!!

[@EmilyCanham]

YES!

[@MsHolli09]

I love this video! I’ve found the beginning of this year so sad and depressing because that was how I left 2022. So I definitely need to reset, I’ve made myself a ‘things I loved in 2023’ journal for the year. I have no plans at all apart from work for the year which I think is part of why I’m feeling a bit naff. So fingers crossed I can shift everything this year!

[@catrionabain1663]

I kayak. yes its a sport but its so relaxing too! I do it on lakes or in the sea but you can also try on moving water too for adrenaline. It's amazing for bad joints because you can make it low impact but keep up range of motion and amazing for core strength. Also has a great community of paddlers who always want to help other people get better at the sport.

[@SophBywater]

This was amazing Em 🖤🖤🖤 Your my biggest inspiration and I’m just in awe with you! I can see how far you have come throughout the years and I think it’s just amazing to be part of your journey….. I truly am honoured and so proud of you too! Not only that but thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for taking the timeout to reply to my messages! I’ll definitely be following suit and setting myself similar goals and intentions for the new year! Have you ever considered doing more baking as a hobby or learning a new craft like knitting etc? All therapeutic and rewarding or even learning a new language? Anyway lovely don’t ever stop being the wonderful and beautiful you that you are 🖤🖤🖤🫶🏻🖤🖤🖤 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Emily, can you tell us more about Barre class and which program you use? Been wanting to try it but not sure where to begin and would like to do a live class. Thanks! Xx

[@brookeana7721]

I love watching you as your so inspiring and as a 13 year old, when I’m older I would love to be like you as your very successful and very calm and chill and I just love everything about you!

[@robinholcombe4366]

I am a paper planner and also love to cross stitch and read!

[@kristenrowland8899]

You should start taking ceramics! I used to love throwing pottery just to have my quiet time away from all my life stressors. It really helped and I got to bring some pretty nice vases and bowls home as well 😊

[@Nathalie.Claire]

A great way to start 2023! Some ideas I may utilise myself 😉 I agree making the bed is the best way to have the mindset to start your day. ❤

[@lillycbrock]

I love the format for goals you have!! I love to crochet and it's a great hobby to get yourself off your phone for awhile and there are tons of KZbin videos on it and it's impossible it fail if you take your time!!

[@tracysilver8912]

Embroidery is great and doesn’t take up space. You ok can be really creative and build your stitched week by week. Good luck x

[@EmilyCanham]

thanks for the idea!!!

[@kierayilmaz2371]

READING a physical book! Best hobby in my opinion ☺️❤️

[@megancripps6922]

Can't wait to watch your wardrobe declutter, one of my favourite videos every year😍 thankyou for this video! Definitely was needed!

[@jadeallan5351]

I’ve learnt how to knit and absolutely love it! It’s taken me away from being on my phone 24/7 and just gives me some me time ❤

[@cutelovee15]

I am so excited for all the videos you said are coming!!! loved the video❤

[@annapolivkova9280]

Hi Emily, I think that a fun hobby for fashion lover like yourself could be learning how to sew 🧵! You can be creative in a different about fashion and you could be creating your dream fashion pieces that fit you like a glow and are everything you wanted them to be 💜

[@alicecorless2364]

I'm making a 2023 crochet temperature blanket! I'm an avid crocheter but I think you could definitely pick it up and use a simple stitch to start with... a row a day every day and then at the end of the year you have a blanket and a memory of the year, win win! 😊💗

[@EmilyCanham]

love that idea!!! I can imagine it's super relaxing too?

[@alicecorless2364]

@@EmilyCanham yes 100%! I put a YT video on my phone and keep it infront of me.. stops me from picking up my phone midway through to mindlessly scroll socials! v therapeutic 🥰

[@Emily_T226]

For a hobby you could do scrapbooking or drawing patterns, it’s really relaxing

[@FlashingThoesDimonds]

Hi Emily I don't usually comment, this video is such a good idea. A hobbies that I started last year was dimond painting. It is really relaxing and great for mental health xx

[@racheldavison1410]

Learning an instrument is always fun. I can see you playing piano or cello ❤️

[@tracyjohnson3596]

Make macrame plant hangers for your new home xx

[@tanyamackie1039]

As a hobby suggestion. Try cross stitching. I know it sounds old school but personally i find it calming as well as therapeutic, it gives me a creative outlet and at the end you have something you can give to family or friends as presents. Also means finding a pattern to do is easier because I can find a theme for people.

[@emilydoran7176]

I literally plan my week on a Sunday too!

[@shannonx7023]

I went through a breakup in 2022 from my partner of 11 years who I started dating in 4th year at secondary school & it really hit deep, so in my journey to finding happiness & being content on my own I picked up a hobby which was pottery! You don't need a wheel & there are places all over with a kiln service you can use. Basically, I kept coming across the CUTEST mugs/vases etc from small businesses on insta/Pinterest & they were quite expensive (at least they were for me) so I thought you know what, when little one is in bed at night & I'm feeling lonely & in my feels I'll try & make my own with the help of some yt tutorials 😆 it's so satisfying/ relaxing. I made halloween vases with pumpkins on/mugs with boo-tea ghosts for myself & a minion mug for my daughter, as well as Christmas/ valentines themed things & I also made a few trinket dishes & mugs for all the grandparents Christmas presents which had my 4 year olds drawings & their names which she handwritten engraved into them, & yeah.. it's just been one of the best things I've started doing. Literally makes me forget about my phone & totally zone off from the TV & any stresses in my life. Also makes me feel accomplished & proud when people ask me where I bought them from then if I can make them something. Also if you don't want to buy the equipment (your own clay/ cutters/ glazes/ paint brushes) then there are also ceramic cafés where the item is made, you just have to glaze it 🤍 sorry that was so long winded! 😂

[@EmilyCanham]

I LOVE that idea. You've definitely gained a huge personal positive from that situation! I'm sorry to hear that, but it's so empowering to hear how you've embraced a new hobby and gained a new passion out of it all.. definitely stick with it! You never know what it might turn into in 2023 and beyond 🤍

[@ellieconnerty]

I love this yaaaaaaas🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 I needed to see this today came at the right moment 🤞🏼

[@willowsworld7425]

I’ve been waiting for her to post again! I absolutely adore this video :) Emily your are absolutely stunning! And thank you for taking us along and telling us your goals! Definitely helps me figure my own goals for the new year 😊💖

[@user-zf3ti5wm1d]

Ive taken up swimming lessons since last year and trying to keep it up through 2023 as im not a strong swimmer, so fun!

[@EmilyCanham]

that's so cool! its a skill for life 🫶🏼

[@Becagrace]

I love this video!! A hobby I’ve recently started is crochet, it takes a while to get used to it but once you’ve got the hang of it, it’s really great💛

[@gemmadevaney9767]

Thank you for this I am going to do a reset to start the year ❤ I’d suggest something artsy like crochet or painting I’m getting back into arts and crafts as one of my goals xxx

[@leeannemcleod6153]

Thank you so much for doing this am so going to try this as well , am ready for a change , will be watching what you achieve Emily all the best for 2023 x

[@Ni_kki__]

So with you Emily,if you can dream it you can do it! 🥰

[@EmilyCanham]

Yes yes yes!

[@wearsaoife]

Yes to knowing what exercises work for you! I am currently a treadmill and yoga only gal lol

[@SophieJN89]

You should try diamond painting, it’s so therapeutic and once it’s finished it looks beautiful ❤

[@Floralie]

Love this Emily ❤ happy new year 🥳x

[@Cheana]

I‘m really excited for this video, I have been feeling really sad today and desperately need some motivation and distraction.

[@EmilyCanham]

Ok this video came at the perfect time! I really hope it helps flip your mindset🤍

[@keekeesdaily]

Hobby- painting, ceramic making

[@HanCait]

Hobbies I’ve been considering : taking up dancing (Irish or salsa) Starting a small herb garden or balcony garden Sewing Painting /sketching learning from KZbin

[@sophiekelly3918]

Absolutely loved this video❤️❤️ Also I loved vlogmas this year,it felt like I had a friend to catch up with everyday☺️ You seem so much happy in your new apartment!!I love it💕 Maybe you could do a video on how to be so independent/living alone-I find it so inspiring!!xx

[@jaclynsalemwaxtel]

As for hobby- I sew clothing and I LOVE itttt! (I vlog mainly about DIY fashion on my channel.) Knitting is also fun and requires a bit less attention-with sewing you have to pay a lot more attention because of the sewing machine, but with knitting you can knit while you watch tv/movies, etc!

[@helenfinnen1138]

Hi & Happy New Year! I just wanted to drop you a message to say I really enjoyed your vlogmas this year and thank you for the content. Im generally a silent watcher but will always leave a like 🤍

[@ellalangdon]

Pick up sewing!! You’re always taking things to the tailor as you appreciate a perfect fitting, good quality piece but what if you could adjust your clothing yourself? I’ve done it for a few years and it’s such a useful skill to have, once you get used to using your machine it’s super easy. The good thing is if you don’t get too into it it’s not trendy so it’s such a useful thing to have around your house for many years to come. Happy new year ❤

[@melissavanderwerf1371]

I loved this video, thank you ❤✨

[@emmaweb2006]

I love this kind of videos we all need reset xx stay safe send love ❤️ x

[@starmoon2377]

you should start crocheting! I started about a year ago and there's soo many things you can create. I believe it much easier than knitting. I've found it's a great hobby for making gifts, and everything you can learn you can find a tutorial video on youtube for. I think you'd be great at it em!

[@EmilyCanham]

Maybe one day for sure!! thank you!

[@MegaMissy333]

Loved this! Definitely has motivated me to set some new realistic goals for the year and to find a activity I enjoy xx

[@riyajoshi3717]

Please start reading as a hobby, would love to see you make a reading vlog or discuss about books.

[@shannontaylor_]

I love your goals! I’ve set myself some fitness goals this year I’m going to run another half marathon and also do tough mudder x

[@alt757MU]

Jewelry making and DIY home projects! They are fun to do and use. :)

[@barbss140]

Take up sewing? Or something similar. That’s what I’m going to do this year!

[@mrsshhzr]

Happy New Year Emily! I love ur videos (as per) and can’t wait to see what you have planned for the new year. Maybe some hobbies could be like reading, learning a language, cooking, scrapbooking memories, journaling etc 🥰 hope that helped xx

[@BethanyRuby]

Missed the vlogs but glad this video came today 🥰 💜💜💜

[@EmilyCanham]

I’m missing vlogging soooooo much! Going to take a few weeks then I’ll be back to it 🫶🏼

[@mansoor3159]

Hey!! Emily I was eagerly waiting for this vlog and wishing you a happy new year and I love your vlogs so so much you are my inspiration and I wish you reach 2 Million Subscribers very very soon!💫💕🎉

[@EmilyCanham]

Happy new year Mansoor!

[@tashramsay]

Firstly happy new year M hope this is your best year yet! Can’t wait to see what you achieve this year! Why don’t you make your hobby baking we know you love to do it but I feel like maybe it’s the thing you never allow time for! Just an idea! Can’t wait for your annual closet clear out!

[@ryleajade6775]

This video is so helpful ❤

[@kaylheecarroll3186]

Happy New Year, best of luck with your resolutions!

[@EmilyCanhamVlogs]

have you given the video a 👍🏼?

[@AyeshaAli-hc3zf]

I love that you set realistic goals and routines. Forgive me if this is a stupid question but what is the device you are using when doing your bathroom routine? Is it for fine lines and smile lines? Im just looking to improve my skin this year and cant wait to see your video on the treatments you get/use to make urself feel good and happy.

[@BethanyRuby]

Here for all the hobby suggestions ... mine would be something crafty like painting :')

[@Codie28]

Try crochet, it is the only hobby I have actually stuck with. Taught myself off KZbin and finishing projects is so rewarding, especially cute things for friends babies. Once you get good it is something that you can do alongside watching TV

[@soraia180593]

What an amazing video Emily, there can be so much pressure in January to feel like you need to change so much about yourself and your life but these ideas were realistic and positive and refreshing to hear. I would love to see your video on affirmations I very much believe in that although not very good at doing it myself with how busy life can get but I think it would be an amazing video ❤️

[@EmilyCanham]

So true! Affirmations are powerful 🤍

[@arianamorar3688]

Hi! I just took up embroidery and its really easy, fun and you can then embroider your stuff its a pretty amazing hobby!

[@angistath]

I'd suggest you start reading books but not in general. I started reading books this year that are similar to the movies or shows i like to watch or have watched and loved them, and i want to make a collection of them! It's like you keep a souvenir of every show you like. Or you could totally learn a new language 😍

[@EmilyCanham]

That's such a good idea!

[@RandomizedHolz]

please do an affirmations video would love to know what you do, but also where you got it from... this is totally something I want to start but feel rather clueless on!

[@EmilyCanham]

such a good idea!! I'll try!!

[@hannahmagowan]

Hobby wise, what about Sewing, comes in really handy when clothes want altering too!

[@elizabethxxxann]

Excited to watch this!

[@MyYasmin1994]

Loved this thank you! Also what about a Ukulele for a hobby 🤔 can see that suiting you ❤

[@nesmamoneer471]

Salam! Thanks Emily 🌸

[@poppyp207]

Pottery is such a fun hobby!

[@rhumerkay1825]

I was waiting patiently thinking I hope Emily uploads a video soon... and here it is. Hope your 2023 brings you so much happiness and good memories, it's your year this year! I love watching these and you make my day so much better. I've just messaged you on your welcome home Instagram if you have enough time to read it it would mean the world. xx

[@EmilyCanham]

Ah Rhumer! Happy new year! It’s going to be a good one 🥰

[@chipsfrisch]

Try crocheting! So calming 💫

[@nickykistler]

Happy New Year Emily ❤

[@EmilyCanham]

Happy new year beauty!

[@corinnekaszowski6831]

painting or charity work/ volunteer some time …choose something that interests you and can try it out without too much commitment at first and see if this is something you may want to invest more time over the year

[@priscillavrooij]

I really enjoy to read but also to do colouring by number (I've got these disney books where each page is a different photo of a character and while colouring you figure out who it is... The books I use for this are in French but I'm Dutch and don't speak French, as long as you understand colouring by number you won't use and languague at all)

[@katherinecollins4685]

This was great

[@EmilyCanham]

thank you!!

[@EmilyJane9896]

Learning an instrument? I’ve always wanted to learn the piano! Xx also loved the video as always ❤

[@LouLou-pb6mn]

Love this video idea. Take up yoga - it’s a lifestyle as well as a practice

[@mikyradoi4390]

Happy New Year! My advice for you is to learn a new language! It is fun... and can be very useful when you travel

Hey Emily can you please do a video of what's on your iPad please and what software you are using ? Happy new year 2023 I am.so.happy that you have made this video its so interesting😇😁👩‍❤️‍👨💕💗💗👨‍👩‍👦‍👦🍷 try doin Medication yoga style relaxation on your bed or on the floor with a soft pillow

love this video feel so inspired xxx

[@Terrann67]

Happy new year! How about a craft you can make little Emily doll sashes with different scents. valentine’s Day is coming up they would make cute gifts.

[@nairbvel]

In an address to the graduating class of a regular (civilian) school, a ranking officer of the U.S. Marine Corps told the students that they should *always* make their bed in the morning. That way, no matter how awful their day was, no matter how little they felt they'd accomplished, when they were getting ready to go to sleep the next night they would have proof that they actually *did* accomplish something and *did* impose some order on the chaos in their lives... even if it was only to have made their bed that morning. :-)

[@iza4624]

loved the video! gave me some great ideas and motivation to start my new year on a good note! also fell in love in the cream dress, where is it from? ❤

[@percydoeseverything]

I love this!

[@kimossi1]

I wanna take french classes. Maybe this could also be a lovely hobby for you :)

[@sharlishajohnson9017]

Happy New Year Emily Canham my wish for you for the new year is that you house will be finished so you have party & have your family & friends can come over have a nice day 💖💕🥰💋 xoxo

[@laurentaylor6136]

Does anyone have any recommendations for goal setting/habit tracker apps? I can’t seem to find one I like and I feel inspired by this video to really set some boundaries and goals for 2023 ✨
