JULY MONTHLY RESET 2024: goal setting, budgeting, monthly favorites, + more!

[@TheMorganGibson]

Isnt it sooooo crazy it is already July today?!?!? Time is moving by wayyyyy too fast lately!!! Growing up my mom always told me time seems to go faster the older you get and I'm honestly starting to believe that LOL!!!

[@KeeganActon]

it blows my mind like how is it going by faster???

[@annamariemiller3877]

You sound like you’re working on yourself. I’m glad you seem to be happier! Hope your thing that was a problem last month for you has worked itself out.

[@meganhlaj]

you are so real and just feel... human.. i love watching you!

[@sugarandspicethreetimesasn2721]

Btw I have been watching you since you started 11 years ago!! Love seeing you in the different seasons of your life. Your condo is beautiful. You are doing so incredibly well for yourself.

[@kendalinn]

podcasts I LOVE: Right Answers Mostly (this is a history podcast but its in like a gossip format between two friends), Ologies with Alie Ward (she has different "ologists" (aka professionals) come talk about the things they specialize in), and Binchtopia (two girlies talk about pop culture things, some history, and they go on some random tangents sometimes, but I love them). I listen to a ton of other podcasts but I feel these ones specifically fill that "learning itch" i've felt post grad :)

[@katiemay6560]

Seconding Ologies with Allie Ward! It's my favorite podcast.

[@KeeganActon]

THANK YOU!! writing all of these down I cant wait to listen to them!!

[@shawna-lynnrussell2703]

Was coming to comment this!!!!

[@amberspade15]

[@alyssaanderson757]

ologies is a good podcast to learn about lots of random things !! big big fan of the host & i find it so fun to listen to 😊

[@amirasahba22]

Another podcast to add to your list is the best one yet, it is daily 20-minute episodes about pop-biz news

[@marie-sophie4]

I am so sorry the month of June was such a hard one for you but I love that you can be positive and strong. You have so many wonderful things coming your way and I am glad to be here with you to share all the good and support you. Watching you always makes me feel good it’s really like we are friends ! My favourite thing about June was getting my new kitty. She brings so much joy and happiness into my life and that’s why I am obsessed with your cat t-shirt ! The best ! 😻🥰❤️

[@KeeganActon]

this means so much!!! and awwww a kitty!!! im sure she is the cutest thing in the entire world

[@Zonaishpirwani]

Dear Keegan, thank you so much for creating these entertaining videos for us, you don't know how much I love watching ur videos and how much of an inspiration you are to me

Psychology of your 20s on Spotify Soooo good

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Hi Keegan how are you happy Monday night to you and I enjoy your channel and you are amazing supporter

[@thepetitemrs]

A podcast you should check out and is fun to listen to and I find very interesting is "Things you should know" its on everywhere you get podcasts!

[@ellisonmichael4818]

Listen to Right Answers Mostly! They’re super fun and educational about history😁

[@claireduckworth7659]

I can't believe that it is July already! Happy Tuesday Keegan! I love these kinds of videos!

[@Darklink7884]

GURL. If it makes you feel any better, my grocery expenses for June were sky high (over $1K), and I haven't been eating out as much. One of my goals for July is to cut my grocery expenses in half.

[@KeeganActon]

howwwwwww did you spend $1k

[@lesshustlemorecoffee]

Loved this. I love plan with me’s! I did one on notion with just myself-but didn’t film it. Maybe I should. I was thinking I’d do a half year or mid year review of annual goals - what’s working and what’s not, what I’ve accomplished and tweek the goals for rest of year. Have a good week.

[@KeeganActon]

omg ive heard notion is incredible ive always wanted to use it!! I love the idea of the mid year review. I think ill have to do one for myself too

[@WesleyCoughlan]

Awesome vlog, Keegan! Today is a holiday in Canada where I live as it is Canada Day as we celebrate our country's 157 birthday! 😊❤

[@Corgisandwine]

My favorite book is called “maybe you should talk to someone” I recommend it to everyone who’s looking for a a self help style book, it’s so good!

[@jkossakoski]

Hey girl, I saw this today and thought of you…. “I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life. I’ve learned that making a “living” is not the same thing as making a “life.” I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one. I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” ― Maya Angelou 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@redrooster1908]

It's good to have goals and reevaluate oneself 👍

[@TheMorganGibson]

I cried A LOT in June too. I was just extremely sad and beating myself up about things and then something happened and that made my month even worse last week and yeah it was rough. I'm praying July is a better month for me and you both.

[@KeeganActon]

im so sorry June was a rough month for you!! something is in the air making us all miserable

[@weirdcrazygirl1156]

My high of last month is I applied and got accepted to Scad! My low I would say is mentally been going through it for different reasons, but hoping to get out of the funk soon!

[@hannaht.8022]

I really like the goal setting part of your video. Although it sometimes seems like you put too much pressure on yourself to accomplish a lot. 😕 like with the stretching, I think the whole thing dragged you down more than it brought any good. Make sure the goals are set with the right motivation and make sure they are attainable. You’re doing great! 💕

[@KeeganActon]

I completely agree with you. I think the stretching did no good for me and just discouraged me

[@Just_Jim602]

I’m glad I’m working nights mostly with my new job and only three nights a week. I try to do all my errands and shopping before noon lol. Otherwise I’m inside relaxing in the AC 😂

[@juliaseegmuller5686]

I hope the rest of your year is great!

[@avamakanui]

Hi Keegan! I wanna try the la roch posay sunscreen! It has spf 50! Lmk if you have tried it!

[@jaelynelikes1859]

Self-help book recommendation: Your Turn: How to be an Adult by Julie Lythcott-Haims! Such a good read, love following your journey 💗

[@michikoxo]

I had a suggestion to include month on month trends of ur budget haha maybe thats the marketing data nerd in me but in the current format, when you say you need to reel your expenses in I dont rly see it cos I dont see how you spent relatively to the month prior 😅 so maybe like “my spending this month is x% higher than last month but lower when i last moved in etc. takeout this month is x% higher than last month etc” 😂

[@christinaruiz4183]

Audio books are good for car rides too ❤

[@AnneAndCamel]

Several years back, Shannon Doherty, 90210, wrote a book called “badA**” It hits on some good topics, obviously not everything in every book is for everyone. Also, if you are looking to get back into journaling, there was a book several years ago that I found very helpful, don’t know if it is still around: “list yourself “.

[@paigebabineaux2659]

I’m so sorry you’re having a tough time mentally. I highly recommend reading the gospels (Matthew, mark, Luke, or John) in the Bible or 1 John. Also Psalm 23. Then follow up with watching The Chosen 🥰🥰🥰 trust me sister. Thanks for posting! Love your channel!

[@annamariemiller3877]

Have you also gone to your regular doctor? For me I am prescribed anxiety medication from my doctor above and beyond talking to a counselor.

Book recommendation: Self care for tough times by Suzy Reading. It's such a validating, useful and uplifting book, An easy read especially when you're feeling mentally low.

Podcasts: Stuff You Should Know, Maintenance Phase, How I Built This, and Celebrity Memoir Book Club Book: The Body Keeps the Score (read trigger warnings)

Buying and moving into your own condo is enough to set anyone's mental health going crazy. Hopefully life will settle down to normality now for you, and July will be a good one! xxx

My health insurance was better from my previous employer. I paid way less. My doctors visit was $40 on my previous insurance. My current employers health insurance for a doctor visit was $200, seeing the same doctor.

[@KeeganActon]

$200?!?!?! that should be illegal

[@Lupita19021]

I would highly recommend The Diary of a CEO podcast!! You can learn so much from it. Whether it’s about mental health, fitness, finances, physical health, etc. there’s so much variety

I would highly recommend “we’re all insane” podcast!!!!! I listen to it every Monday on my hour drive to work and back. It’s about other people telling their story and spreading awareness about issues. I love it soo much and it has helped my mental health a ton!! Please give it a try!!

Happy July and half number 2 of 2024. Also known as the start of Q3

[@TheMorganGibson]

Your comment has me extremely confused rn 😭

[@SarahSchneider2]

@@TheMorganGibson July is the start of the 2nd half of the year and well also Quarter 3(in the corporate world every 3 months of a year is a divided up to look at different things such as finances). There is also a fiscal year but that can start and end for in different months dependent on who you work for. Example fiscal year for the university of Michigan goes July 1 2024- June 30th 2025.

[@KeeganActon]

I cant believe its already Q3 where has time gone

[@allywynne2731]

Highly recommend Untamed by Glennon Doyle! It’s inspirational but not like self help and very female figuring-yourself-out energy
