Life in my Central London Studio Flat in 2021 | Living Alone Vlog

[@dejashu]

Hello, my loves! It's good to be back!!! 🌞QUESTION OF THE DAY 🌞What goal(s) have you set for yourself in 2021? Let me know in the comments below and let's have a catch up! I've missed you!!! xxx

[@RogueCylon]

As always so beautiful. Recharged and ready for 2021. I enjoyed an appendectomy the day before Xmas, so I had a good excuse to relax.

[@dejashu]

Glad to hear you’re recovering well and was able to have some time to yourself too!! Happy new year, Jim! 🥰

[@Nubianette]

I need to become more organized at home. Once I go home, I crash and do nothing. I now work a lot, and it’s hard to catch up on the needed maintenance. That’s about it.

[@dejashu]

@@Nubianette Ooh maybe having a checklist to physically tick off when you’re home? Make sure you have time to yourself after a hard day’s work! ♥️

[@Neiruzz]

Planning on Moving to London but covid is not doing so good there😭 I hope it ends soon I have a lot of goals to achieve 😫

[@MsFlashLights]

“It’s both a blessing and a curse to feel everything so deeply” More gratitude totally 💯 🙏🏽

[@dejashu]

Haha yes! So darn emotional about things but it’s also a great trait to feel so much! 🥰🥰♥️

[@coolhellu]

Being in the present is the best thing you could ever do. My 'grateful list' is full of mundane things but isn't that what life is about? The sound of the waves, a good bar of chocolate 🍫 ,a lovely evening with friends, the way the trees capture the sunlight during dawn.. sigh life is full of wonderful little things! Who cares what happens tomorrow as long as you feel good today 😇

[@dejashu]

Ahhhh I LOVE this so much!!! It’s those little moments that can often mean the most and the very things we take for granted! Yessss to being in the present 🤗🤗

[@fairytale143]

One of my goals is to give back more to the community in some way. Read more - 1 book a month. And exercising 5-7 days a week - as I work from home I can literally sit on my bum all day if I don’t make an effort to work out.

[@dejashu]

Love your goal of giving back to the community ♥️ ahh I get you, easy to do when you’re WFH and even stretching for a little bit does wonders for the body and mind! 🤗

[@djbembona]

WOW this video (especially the late night thoughts section) hit super close to my soul right now! ufff coming from a place of abundance & not scarcity...yes! I’m loving how we are rethinking the ways we want to live our fullest and most present lives! sending you lots of love! your aura is a light to us allll! 💗

[@djbembona]

oh yeah, NEVER apologize for feeling so deeply! you are not dramatic whatsoever! coming from a major feeler as well lol

[@LaurenAndTheBooks]

Having a gratitude journal sounds like the perfect 2021 thing, looking at what you have, not what you want, I LOVE IT! x

[@dejashu]

Yes! It’s been a really rewarding habit to include in my daily life! I recommend it! 🥰🥰

[@stoneroses19]

Well that was a bundle of joy! Welcome to 2021! Completely with you about reading more. I read most on the tube or when travelling, so last year was pretty bad for books. Determined to read more even if home again this year.

[@dejashu]

Hello Gary! Always a pleasure to chat with you! 🤗 Ooh lovely, which books have caught your eye this year?

[@stoneroses19]

@@dejashu I’m sticking with travel books for now if only to escape from the living room I’ve seen too much in the last 10 months 😅 80 trains around the world is my one to finish in January.

[@tamip2488]

looking so lovely and happy! My goal is to accept changes peacefully and mindfully, creating every single day to feel balanced and joyful.

[@sheilajourion5098]

It's good to write down your thoughts/feelings! I do the same when I feel overwhelmed 😇 To answer the question of the day: my goal of 2021 is to be able to do the splits, very simple and personal but so I can prove myself I'm able to achieve something! 💪

[@rich7221]

Happy new year Shu. Very humble start to the year. My 2021 goals are: 1. Look after my mind and body 2. Focus on my self more compared to my career. 3. Travel more (if we can)🧳🛫🛬⛱ 4. Show more gratitude

[@dejashu]

Happy New Year, Richard! Hope you’ve had a good start despite everything happening! Love all of your goals you’ve set - great ones to be mindful of on an ongoing basis! 🥰♥️

[@dejashu]

Can’t wait to travel when the world is safe to do so again!!

[@rich7221]

@@dejashu I can't wait to travel to Hong Kong again. Miss the food a lot. So what place do you miss the most?

[@dejashu]

@@rich7221 I’m with you on that! There isn’t a day that goes past that I don’t miss HK 😭😭♥️

[@KH-nn6kh]

Set up a weekly "To Do" list, try to tackle some lingering household tasks that I never seem to get to. Feels good to cross things off a list and make progress

[@dejashu]

Ooh that’s a good idea, feels satisfying and more motivating to do chores when you can tick it off! 😅

[@TheEugeneng]

1. To be better that public speaking/ get over nerves when speaking, something I’ve been wanting to ‘work on’ for years but keep putting off 2. Start and commit to a food blog. I’ve had several over the years but I have the habit of abandoning them after a while !

[@dejashu]

Love these goals, Eugene!! I recommend the channel “Charisma on Command” if you haven’t come across it already - they have great videos on public speaking! Good luck with the food blog too, so exciting!! 🤗♥️

[@ijoyous21]

Hi Shu. Lovely vlog today. I wish you a happy new year. My goals are to cook more, to learn and to not be afraid to make mistakes. Thanks for being you.

[@dejashu]

Hi Joy! This is so sweet of you to say, thank you ♥️ These goals are great! I always love the quote “in life, we either win or we learn”! 🤗

so much enjoy as always!

Thank you, Roseanne! 🤗

[@sophiecutegirl]

Happy new year. You've been doing some improvements to the shudio. Very nice. Good to see the plants have survived the festive time. Goals for this year aren't too ambitious. It only involves expanding the family of puppets. Hope you are keeping safe, well, and happy during the lockdown. Stay mighty 🐼🐼

[@dejashu]

Thank youuuu! The peace lily nearly didn’t make it but glad it came back to life 😅 exciting plan to expand the family! Hope you’re staying safe too!! ♥️♥️

[@sophiecutegirl]

@@dejashu That is good news. Always a relief when a plant is revived. It'll be fun to hang more puppets made. They'll still be very demanding no doubt, just as pandas and cats are. Such fun 🐼🐼

[@dejashu]

Hooray to more puppets!! 🥰🥰

[@VC-mo5yg]

HAPPY NEW YEAR MADAME SHU!! SO HAPPY YOU ARE JOYOUS AND HEALTHY!! Sending you an abundance of continuing gratitude, peace, contentment , thoughtfulness and cheer.

And many many many thanks for providing an example of living in the moment with your positively infectious glow and energy. Please please please continue this for all of us, we need this so badly!!!!! Hugs and warmest greetings from Vancouver Canada!! 🙏💖🙏💖🤗🤗🤗

[@DramaqueenNYC]

Welcome back! My only goal this year is to maintain my peace through what I do, say, and feel. For me that means keeping myself in the center by creating boundaries, doing things for myself, and lots of self care.

[@dejashu]

Thank you, Suri! So lovely to hear from you! Fully supporting you with this goal! Very important to set boundaries and to be aware of not doing too much for others at your own expense! ♥️♥️♥️

Hello Mhai! I’m so sorry to hear this and I’m sending you so much love. Grief is a difficult journey so don’t feel pressured to speed it along if you’re not ready to do so. Take all the time you need ♥️

[@SparklerMs]

Happy New Year Shu! You look radiant! :) love the good habits you're implementing this year. The gratitude journal sounds like a great idea that I want to try out. This year I would like to read more and actually finish the books I start reading- was terrible with this last year haha... I would also like to try cooking more meat free dishes and practise pilates at least once a week!

[@Nubianette]

Oh, the peace lily. You can I’ve it a bit of water, wait an hour, and give it a bit more every hour until it straightens up.

[@Indieviduall]

cute hearts!!!! Goal for 2021: trust my instinct more, also exercise 3-5 times a month and to give my cats more and more attention. I did before but I want to focus on making myself and them the healthiest and happiest they can be in this uncertain time. Diverting the stress and releasing it in healthier ways ! x

[@dejashu]

Ahh these goals are great, such a good point about trusting your instinct more! Our intuition has a way of telling us things before our conscious minds know! Give a big squishy car to your cats for me! 🥰🥰♥️

[@Indieviduall]

@@dejashu I love your goals too!!! I will start tomorrow writing 5 things I'm grateful for in my new notebook. I look forward to your video on journalling as I would love to be more in the moment. I'm really emotional too so I totally get your 2am realisations hahaha. So grateful to have the time to speak with you and grow more!! x

Happy 2021, Jennie! Always so lovely to hear from you! Oooh I hope the drawing goes well - it’s so therapeutic and calming! 🥰♥️

[@SplodzBlogz]

Question of the day... To concentrate on my inputs, rather than my outputs. That is, to work on the time, effort, habits I put in and not worry so much about the numbers or ticks or whatever else happens as a result.

[@dejashu]

I love this mindset! We have no control over those outputs but those things will be influenced by our inputs! Good luck! 🤗♥️

@@dejashu It's a new one for me... giving it my best shot :)

[@Solatruth]

Hey Shu! So good to see your face. The music in this video instantly made me happy. I just started a book club with my cousins cos our reading last year was just atrocious. Loved that 2am segment, filled me up with so much emotion & honestly romanticising your life is the way forward. I do it all the time. 😂😂 some of my goals this year is to learn how to drive, sell some of my baked goods and see how that goes, maybe start a KZbin channel 🤧🤧 so scary but yeah. Can’t wait for your next video.

[@dejashu]

Aw Rashie, my love! Always puts a smile to see your comments! Glad the music made your happy! Ahhh having a book club with family is such a good idea if only to discuss afterwards! Hahaha agree with romanticising life, was so dramatic at 2am looking at my fairy lights like 😭😭😭♥️ YESSSSSS to all of these things happening and start that KZbin channel!! Do it for yourself! 🥰

Happy New Year, Shu! I'm loving your gratitude journal, I used to write in one every day. My goal is to save a set amount this year in order to pay off my mortgage in a few years ' time

[@vanessargipson]

The lounge set is sooo cute! One major goal for this year is to decide if I want to transition back to being vegetarian. I love animals, probably a little too much, so being vegetarian is an obvious step. But I also am okay with eating meat occasionally (as long as it is ethical and I can accept that a life was taken). Hopefully within this year I come to a decision that I am happy with.

[@dejashu]

Hey Vanessa! ♥️ Adore the lounge set! Ooh it’ll be interesting to see how you feel throughout the year or generally having more of a plant-based diet with the occasional meat dish!

[@karenpinson759]

My main goal is to continue my physical therapy so that I can get out of my wheelchair, walk more, and lose weight. Want to also do more herbal remedies for my health in order to get off many of my prescriptions which have too many bad side effects. Also I wish to get back into my writing again. I put it off during Christmas, so I am getting new ideas that I wish to explore. I have done a gratitude journal for years. It works wonders to reread entries on those days when you are feeling down either physically or emotionally. I bought a new couch over the holidays and a recliner which shall arrive in a few days. My son-in-law has agreed to put up new curtains for me in the bedroom and living room, so I shall be enjoying the New Year with a newly decorated apartment--something I am very grateful for. Soon I shall be getting a new haircut and am considering dying my hair for the first time in my life. Now that I have turned 68 on Dec. 29th, I really wish to dye my hair either white or silver. At my age my hair is still a light brown with a bit of silver at my temples. Both of my grandmothers had totally white hair by age 60, and I love it so much. So I am seriously considering getting my hair dyed white.

[@dejashu]

I LOVE that you’re thinking of dying your hair silver and white - especially when the women in your life have modelled it so beautifully!! Go for it, Karen! You’ll look beautiful, I’m sure! I hope you’ll be able to leave your wheelchair soon, great to have the concentrated focus on your health! Looking forward to sharing stories together about our writing and gratitude journals over the coming months! Have a wonderful week! 🥰♥️
