How I Changed My Life in a Year ~ Life Reset!

[@ConnieRiet]

Instead of setting goals, try to envision what things would make this year GREAT!

[@DancingQueenie]

Ok then. I’ll ‘try to’ envision how GREAT it would be to buy my dream house this year and wait for somebody to drop off the key. I’ll envision reading 50 books while I binge watch movies. I’ll envision spending next xmas skiing in Vail and hope somebody will take me. Right now, I’m envisioning myself setting some goals, meeting the deadlines and making it happen.

[@MNSkolGirl]

I've decluttered my possessions and got out of debt in 2023. My next chapter is focusing on my health, career and money goals. I'm literally starting from scratch and it's an exciting feeling! Thank you for inspiring us with your content. Much love to you and your family in the new year.

[@margaretconnolly1596]

Good for you. You've inspired me.

[@ConnieRiet]

Thank you so much for your well wishes!💗

[@tsigeredaendale6434]

Yeah me too....

[@tinaavantis6900]

Wow! Inspiering! How much og your belongings did you declutter? Need to do the same.

[@ALMAYVALDEZ]

Dear Connie, you have no idea how your videos have had a great impact on my life, my well being, and my lifestyle. I got out of an abusive marriage after 33 years. I was feeling lost, afraid, and depressed. I don’t know what I will do with my life. Fortunately, I found you, and your inspiring videos, which along with therapy, I have learned that life is beautiful, and I still have a lot to live for. Watching you, brings me peace, and motivates me to do things I enjoy, and bring me joy. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you!

Hallo my name is Tanja I live in Germany was born in Portsmouth 😂. I'm 56 jears old its never to late. I'm on my healing jorney to. Sending you lots of love from Germany 😊

[@robertashaffer3950]

Hello! My name is Roberta from Montreal, Canada. I am with you on this Ladies 🤗 I am 62 years young and I am also on my healing journey. As Connie explained in this peaceful, calming, and insightful video, I cannot go back. I have done this for such a long time and yes, I have kept myself tethered causing myself an incredible amount of grief & despair. I have recently decided that enough is enough of the self-sabotage and keeping myself stuck. No pressure. No "I have to or else.....", none of that. I am being kinder to myself and allowing myself to BE. One thing at a time.....towards creating a happier life for myself..... because that is what I choose. This is what I have decided for myself. Thank you so much Connie. You are an inspiration for all of us....and awesome ❤️🌟👌❣️

I am 55 years old time for life change

[@gladisj6367]

I turned 55 this month and quit my job. Worked nonstop since I was 16 years old, I had a brain tumor removed and though I am doing very well now I quit fearing about tomorrow.

[@johnhutchison2268]

Thank you Connie as always your clips are so useful. I am 72 years old. I have 3 simple life goals that will take me to my eventual death. These are: Healthspan to live a long live decease free Vitality so I have the energy to be “walking over mountains in my 90s Tranquility so I live in peace and calm through awareness. I then use mindfulness to link my day to day actions with my life long goals. I feel this reflects more about a path to follow as described by the Buddha rather than focusing on short term goals. This is a continuous process

[@follow.the.dragonfly]

That is so inspiring!!

[@1yotube]

I have a conflict when I see this particular video. There are so much visual beauty and wisdome on those words that it is hard to focus on either one. So, I will enjoy it thousands times again and again. Thanks for this great production !!!

[@lindayeager2347]

I will be 77 in 2 months. What you have processed your way to in this discussion is exactly the conclusion that I also have come to. How wonderful that it didn't take you as long as it has taken me. I still struggle with how I thought things would/should be however, I spend less time there now. I find I am happier and more at peace.

[@ConnieRiet]

I'm glad this video resonated with you!

[@c.jakubowski6549]

This video is exactly what I needed to start my day and take to heart for 2024. Tears are running down my face while writing this message. The place you are walking through is absolutely beautiful. This past year has been one of the worst and most difficult years of my life. I was never a yearly goal setter but you have given me another mindset to move forward to make positive changes in my life. Personal loss and family circumstances have totally pulled my physical and mental focus off of my well being this year. My body gave into pneumonia and deep dip into my major depression. The push, push, push mode just drains all of my being until there is an empty vessel left. First, I turn to God for help and reassurance. “Life is accepting what is and working from that”, thank you for this wonderful quote from Gloria Naylor. And, as my dear and wise great Aunt Edrie would say, “Get on with Life”. Thank you so much for your wonderful, calming and insightful videos. And wishing you a wonderful 2024 from NC. ❤️🐕🐕

[@neunearneunear2326]

As the saying goes " let go of your past, otherwise it will consume your future "

[@ConnieRiet]

I'm sorry to hear of your difficult year. I like your aunt's quote, "Get on with life". It always feels good to leave a difficult past in the past and look toward a brighter future. Sending you thoughts of peace and happiness in 2024 my friend.

[@annettebicer7555]

How did you get out of your depression? My brother is suffering from depression now. TU

[@rubylimey7614]

Prayer lots of prayer...will he talk to someone a therapist or pastor maybe. Does he have health issues??🙏🙏🙏

[@angelasinyard3743]

Thanks for sharing! At 46 ... I am in a transition period again in my life. I have been working on the goals...and see a little bit of change here and there. My mindset is definitely on track to embrace new. Thanks for your willingness to share!

[@margarettownsley9500]

I’m on a life journey change for nearly a year now mainly I have been working towards a minimal home although I’ve still a way to go but I’m hopeful that 2024 will be productive for me on this journey of change and turning around myself in many areas healthy living and diet and exercise yoga meditation being a priority along with a few other things’ when you say your actions today shape your tomorrow this really speaks very strongly to me’ with grace on my side I’m really going to try and make good therapeutic changes to my life this is something I’ve never done before as my full life has been so very stressful and controlled by others in one way or another but since finding slow living over the last year I’m breaking free from so many things that’s held me captive thank you Connie for all you do I’m grateful very grateful for you as you have been helping me more than you will ever know over this past year sending best wishes to you and yours for 2024 🥰

[@KerryJames-l6z]

Things are out of our hands i surrender it all to Gid at age 55 i would like to down size my home take care of my mental health pbysical health its time to try something new

[@EmptyAccountNobodyHere]

I love this idea of visualising your best life, rather than a list of goals or plans to get there. Lately, this is what I’ve been getting in my meditation: to just BE.. So I’m on a journey to let myself out of all the little ‘boxes’ I’ve put myself in over the years, to lose the need to label myself or fit in anywhere, and to just BE. And create a beautiful life 😊. I feel like I’ve made a good start, and am looking forward to 2024. Thank you once again for your wisdom and insight, Connie. Happy new year! xx Lea

[@sharonw4541]

Love your little boxes analogy👍

One of the most difficult things I've done is let go. Especially let go of the past. I'm doing way better and I feel more energized than I have in a really long time. What a great feeling it is to live harmoniously...... Thanks for the video!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@ConnieRiet]

Letting go can be hard to do. But, it is incredibly freeing! I'm so glad you have found peace and happiness.

I am so grateful that i stumbled upon your channel a year or so ago. Thank you for such quality and helpful videos. Your voice, your words, and the beautiful visuals are so impactful. I hope if this is in line with your life dreams that you never stop making videos. You are so inspiring to me...the changes i am making in my self have been so inspired by your words about life, simplicity, love, and the opportunities every day to chart our own life direction. Thank you, thank you for just being you, and talking to us from your heart and soul. Much love to you and your family...❤

[@renskeburgerhout1410]

I was surprised to see the netherlands in your video and I didn’t make goals yet and now I don’t even have to make them😊. My theme is light en air. To have more fun and be relaxed. I only have to make Some visualisation. Have a good year!

I love your intention to have fun and to be relaxed!

This was absolutely lovely. I am at this point of pivoting and am excited , after 3 strokes and blindness in one eye and losing everything to illness…I am still excited. No matter what LIFe supports us! Connie could you tell me how you get the camera shots behind you and in front of you…I love love it. Thank you.

[@susanmainville510]

Great video Connie. Good to see you don’t set goals. I live day by day and whatever comes through intuition is how I live. It’s in our DNA. And if nothing comes, then I consider that a pause and rest.

[@georgelove1321]

Today's talk reminds me of an Amaryllis I once had. If you've ever had one, they grow and grow but you never see the flower. Very frustrating. But if you let the Amaryllis do it's own thing and become what it's supposed to be, then the plant will produce incredibly pleasing results. You've tried the goal setting. Now with little helpful nudges in the right direction, it seems like you, the same as the Amaryllis, flowers and blooms. Good job and an excellent lesson.

[@ConnieRiet]

Great, loved this! Now you can bring about some much-needed riparian buffer (trees, shrubs, the long gone wildlife habitat) along that poor denuded creek. Life is accepting what is, indeed, which includes free will & our impact on/ debts to nature.

[@sheilak4493]

What a wonderful idea… to Dream… I was reminded this 2 times in my devotions this morning!

[@reciprocalhealing]

Such beautiful wisdoms, thank you for sharing. I particularly resonate with the idea of letting go of goal setting and ceasing to figure out the how. It’s best to do the next right thing, what feels good, and leave the results up to God. I appreciate you ❤

Hello dear Connie, what a lovely video this time and especially from the Netherlands ❤ are you still there? All the love and happiness for you and your husband

[@robintaylor1084]

I don't do NY resolutions/goals. I know what needs to be done in my life and I'm working little bit by little bit to get there. Trying to declutter everything. I've begun to accept "what is"... Blessings for a wonderful 2024

[@dorisw2507]

I really like your calm, laid back videos, they feel very soothing to my nervous system

[@c.p.6028]

My dear Connie, your videos always inspire me. What you do when you write your wishes down is called "Manifestation", you are allowing the Universe, Source, God or whatever you want to call it, to help you to fulfill those wishes. I heard that the nights of full moon are specially good "to Manifest", and they are the perfect nights to put all your desires on paper. Sending you a big hug from Spain. Saw my country in your wish list. It's an amazing place ready to be discovered, hope you enjoy it!

[@lindathomas9844]

You always say the right things Connie Thank you

Happy New Year Connie. I too have always had New Year and Birthday resets/goals, and they don't always work out, but I do see progress and feel I am moving in the right direction. I do love manifesting and like the idea of turning New Years goals into a visualization of what would make 2024 Great. Ufortunately, my dear husband is in hospice, so there's that in this coming year....This idea is a more gentle approach and i think I'm going to need gentleness with myself to go through this transistion of losing him. Bless you Connie.

Hi Connie just wanted to ask you a question? If you were single, would you have done the same and just travel by yourself and go to the places that’s a question I ask like for instance, if you had your children the way they are and then you didn’t have a spouse would you choose to be simple in life like this and just go on with it?
