I completed my cancer treatments on January 3rd. Cancer changes people. More joy this year. More beauty. More quiet moments. Two grandchildren getting married this year so more time with family. More joy includes videos like these. ❤❤❤❤

[@AdrianaYRstudio]

It must have been a very hard time. I'm happy to read that the treatment is now completed, and you are looking forward to the future with your family. Sending you hugs and wishing you a Happy New Year ❤️

[@amara1954]

@@AdrianaYRstudiothank you so much! So happy I found your channel ❤

[@mamiswelt1]

@dianenptch2471 first of all happy new year, and what great way to start the new year without the treatment. I am so happy for you and congrats to you. And now hopefully you can really "lay back" and just enjoy life as it comes and the wedding of your beautiful grandchildren. God bless and take care.....and from the bottom of my heart: i am proud of you😊❤

I feel the same way about January, no rush , just embracing everything beautiful around me 💖😊

[@AdrianaYRstudio]

Yes, there’s so much beauty around us we often miss while rushing from one thing to another 🤎

[@Escudera_de_Roble]

😊 What a beautiful and inspiring video, Adriana! 😍 💕 ❄️I totally agree with your approach to Winter and starting a new year! 👍I think this is why I love Winter as much as Autumn. Rest and reflection are key to renovation, and I like that, it is exactly what I need in this time of the year. I seek peace and cosiness, and flowing with the rhythm of sleeping nature, and I find that doing this brings us much better results throughout the year! Things come naturally to us, if we just flow with Nature! 😉 Thank so much!! 🙏👏👏👏🤗🥰

[@agnieszkam8594]

I loved this, finally a sense of calm and peace :)

[@fatimaa57946]

I agree with you about looking at the past and planning the future but without forgetting to live intensely in the present. Everything has its right time, we are the ones who have to master our anxiety. Happy New Year 🥰🙌🌷

[@LS-um3zq]

I agree with you that January is the wrong time to make changes. I think spring, the time of rebirth, is better suited for resolution and action. And the nice weather and sunshine are there to help us.

[@baebeeeeee]

Now almost 6 months had past, but I always comes back to this video. Its like giving your mind a mental clearing and refresh. Thank you for your very beautiful video creations. Much lovexx

[@AdrianaYRstudio]

You are very welcome, I'm glad this video is useful to you xx

[@aubreylevesque912]

I dislike resolutions and goals myself, however, I did enjoy reading other’s and creating my own In’s and Out’s list :)

[@IVraila]

This year's resolution is trying to find stability on my mental state. Meditate more, spend more time with my thoughts, rather than just rushing through life constantly chasing after something. ❤

[@Priscila.sCozyCorner]

Hola Adriana! Tu reflexión sobre la transición a la serenidad de enero, adoptando un ritmo más natural con la naturaleza 🌿, y la metáfora de plantar semillas en lugar de resoluciones resuena profundamente. Tu testimonio sobre la importancia del descanso, la coherencia y la planificación pausada es una lección valiosa para todos. Cómo ha influido este cambio en tu bienestar y en tu enfoque hacia el año que comienza?

[@yoda2931]

ive been watching videos of 2024 goals and rests and havent resonated with any. until now, watching your video.

[@trudysenglishvictorianhome3244]

Rest and Reflection!!! I LOVE that!!! ❤❤❤❤

Ich wünsche dir und deiner Familie ein schönes und ruhiges neues Jahr Ich denke genauso wie du diese Jahr 2024 langsam und Achtsamer zu beginnen 😊 Da ich ein OP am Fuß machen lassen musste,habe ich mir den Januar ausgesucht. Genau aus diesem Grund den du angesprochen hast.😊❤

I never thought about it this way but after watching video, I totally agree! 🙂

[@Thekpopenthusiast]

Thank you for sharing your reflection about your resolutions it came at the right timing for me ♥️ I actually took the month off from work for the first time because I chose myself, and I felt like my soul was calling for expansion and wanted me to give her all the space and energy she needs. It’s very new for me to realize we don’t need to plant resolutions right in the beginning of January and it makes sense because usually Autumn is about shedding parts of ourselves we no longer need so our soul needs time to integrate those parts and change and evolve, and rest and nourishment is the only thing that helps it heal. Also I realize now, why is there a rush? If we want to implement conscious intentions, we need to reflect on the changes and parts that call to us, instead of focusing on doing and « achieving » things, it’s about becoming and letting our soul blossom ☺️🌸 but first, rest. 😌❄️

Hello Adriana, to you and your Family also a very happy New Year🎆🎉🥂🍀🍾. Thank you so much for your Video and Video's i really enjoy them. I never had any resolutions for the upcoming New year's, i just did what i did and just watched myself to be in a mindful state and really looking for not to be in a stressful Situation, of course you can't always avoid it but you know always keeping things low key and plan a lot to get everything done as far as i can and if not than it'll be another Day. I got 3 kids which means i need to be good to myself first to be in the position to take care of them and Hubby of course😊. Well thank you so much sharing❤ Jessica

I think that's a great mindset to have x I'm always too tired in January and feel like hibernating and resting x it's good to take the pressure off ourselves and not get pulled into some things which are often commercially driven. Happy New Year from Norfolk England 🇬🇧

You have alot of beautiful churches in your country side..Are they openfor church services. Your area you live in is so quaint and charming, and seems teally peaceful..I love watching your videos, especially for those of us that live far, far away from your life.. I live in America..I live in the country to, we have a little more traffic then you do living in the country .We have snow, we just got some snow this year..None for Christmas..Which it seems like it just flew by, and didnt seem like a holiday with no snow..

Adriana, hello! Your videos really inspire me! Unfortunately, I don’t know your language perfectly, so forgive me for any mistakes. But I would like to say that I have been following you for several years now, I love being grounded by watching your videos, keep going, you and your family are wonderful!

[@OrdinaryEverydays]

This January I’ve also felt the need to take time for quiet reflection rather than leap into big changes right away. I love the comment that nature also reflects this - everything is sleeping right now ✨✨ happy new year!

[@user-hq9tg8sz1x]

Was für ein wundervolles Video Adriana! Gutes, neues Jahr 2024 wünsch ich dir und deiner Familie! ❤

[@AdrianaPage-vb8zu]

The dress looks so good on you ❤

[@mirriadel]

Completely agree with a need to focus on rest and recovery before you jump full gear into things. This Xmas I was fortunately forced to take 4 consecutive days of doing absolutely nothing but rest and recover. The weather was miserable, my husband was sick, I was exhausted after a busy year and only after a few days of reading, relaxing together, playing some games and even a little bit of boredom, did we both realise how burned out we’ve been. Think it’s been at least a couple years since we had taken even a couple days like this. The problem is, even when you have time off, you feel like you need to take 100% advantage of the time and often you push your body during those periods as well and never fully recover. My one new year resolution for this year is to focus on rest when it feels like I need it. Rather than try and cram a full day of activity and things cause it’s my day off, and maybe it’s nice, and I should do it. It’s hard to do if you’re used to doing things all the time, but so worth it. I had a quiet Sunday today, and talked myself out of that extra walk cause even though it would be nice, I already did a lot of walking this week and my feet were sore and my body was telling me to just stop and take a step back.

[@loomonda18]

I love the idea of planting seeds instead of making resolutions ❤

[@PatriciaW80]

I agree 100%. I’ve never been what I would call a “resolutioner,” as it seemed an annual expectation to set goals and choose a word for the year. I prefer to reflect and be intentional to continue things that are most important to me. For example, my husband and I have three grown children, seven grandchildren and elderly in-laws. We are all very close and connected. What are ways in which I can continue to foster these relationships with those I love most? So for me, it’s more like what you said, reflection. We also love hiking, walks in nature, reading, playing piano, church and recognizing when it’s time for rest. I also want to love and encourage others.

[@mabelnicotra2046]

I totally agree with you. I take my time and enjoy little things without rush. 2023 was a great and horrible year for me, my dad is dead and my son is born.. i embrace the pain and the joy, sometimes i cry, often i smile. as you said, life is not a straight way! Happy new year Adriana!

Wonderful......!😀

[@sharongrogan1983]

Hi Adriana! First time I’ve commented here, though I’ve been watching your cosy vlogs for a little while.. I agree about January, so many people I speak to have mixed feelings about the month. Setting resolutions can be a good idea, but you’re right it comes with high expectations, much better to be kinder to yourself.. I bought The Seasonal Almanac 2024, first time I’ve bought one.. there’s a sentence ‘ January is a time for rest, reflection and imaginings’ thought that was lovely. All the best for 2024! And yes ‘Nourish to Flourish’ is a gorgeous smelling candle! First one I bought 😁

[@user-ld4zs5dm1e]

I would like to find the strength to make a decision about my relationship. Facing the fear of being alone, at forty-one years old, I wanted a family and children. And now I have to walk away from the one who has been the love of my life.

[@martinablahutova9034]

Zdravím, každé vaše video, mě inspiruje a nabíjí ❤ mnoho zdraví v novém roce Vám přeji 🙏 😘 🇨🇿

[@TheVictorianHours]

This year I am slowly preparing my goals for the next year but I’m not putting the pressure on myself. I’m thinking of the stages of my life like seasons. Winter is a time of rest and hibernation, and then in the spring I can plant the seeds for growth. In summer I can start seeing the results and in fall I can be ready for the harvest of my efforts.

[@janicehalsey5511]

I didn’t make resolutions last year and it turned out to be a great year for me. I’m not setting them this year either. It’s usually a lot of lofty goals that I forget about throughout the year then feel like a failure when I look at them at the end of the year. So, instead of resolutions, I like to look at what I accomplish on my own throughout the year

[@lowrievans7300]

Lovely video - thanks for sharing. I also don’t set new year resolutions or goals. Instead I have projects and actions that I work on whenever I feel inclined to 😊 I find this approach much more accessible and kinder!

[@Karen-nq8du]

I completely resonate with your suggestion to rest and plant seeds instead of ramping up with ambitious goals to activate ourselves for change. Thank you. I've made some plans for 2024 for personal growth and development but my body, soul and spirit are tired and not ready to tackle the "next thing". We moved over Christmas so there's a reason for fatigue and I'm grateful for the advice to go easy on myself. xo karen

I also decided to swap my goals for intentions this year! I burned myself out in 2023, chasing goals and things that did not serve me. So this year, I'm striving for balance instead 🤍

[@AdrianaYRstudio]

Amazing, I’m rooting for ❤️ happy new year!

[@booksandpicnics]

I love your approach to the new year, Adriana! I went away on holiday this year in order not to fall into the usual resolution-trap, which also worked quite well. Your approach is more sustainable of course :) All the best for you in 2024! 💐💐💐

[@harshiltaneja4854]

Seeing Indian food in your video in countryside was surprising but made me smile. Hello from India!

[@AdrianaYRstudio]

Hello! Indian food is my favourite and visiting your country is one of my biggest dreams 🤎

[@baebeeeeee]

As for me this January would most probably be just isnt going to be alot of rest or a month of significant rest (as much as I truly want to reset-rest) but am really relating to that 'reflection' side. True, ive also come to that phase where to put significance on reflection first besides the ever-go-to resolutions for the start of the year, not that it isnt good, but prioritizing reflection over resolutions first feels just really refreshing, better word to describe, more natural. Thank you for the beautiful and inspiring video ❤

[@AdrianaYRstudio]

Of course, I totally get it, for some January can be extremely busy eg if you work in fitness industry, but I hope you’ll find some time for rest later in the year. Happy New year, thank you for watching x

Adriana, please can I ask, did you go to a class to learn yoga? Or did you teach yourself at home? It's definitely something I want to get into this year.x 🌻🌸🌷

I have taken classes with a few local teachers over the years. If possible, I would suggest attending a few classes with an instructor, as real-life adjustments are invaluable, and they will help you feel more confident in your home practice x
