When I think where you were last year at this time, I’m in awe at how much you have accomplished. You quit your job, moved to a new location, got a new job, started your own business & now have an awesome roommate. I’ve never seen someone so dedicated to make themselves better as you are. And you’re not only doing it for yourself but for your family. Just continue what you are doing & you will go very far! God bless you dear Lou. Thanks for sharing.

[@eileencarlson4276]

Please be kind to yourself. Little steps will lead you to your goals and be easier on you. Too many changes at one time can overwhelm oneself and make you stop.❤

I think you have done well living in a foreign country, working, recording video, decorating, and helping your family! Thyroid Disease can make you tired. Don't confuse it with being unmotivated. You are very determined and hard working!

Hello Lou! I've been watching you for quite awhile now. I'm a mom and grandma, I'm 60 and am from the USA. I want you know that I would be absolutely proud if I you were my daughter. YOU are everything that you are striving to be already! I'm not sure who's ever told you that you are not doing enough or that you don't eat well enough or that you don't work hard enough but that is absolutely NOT TRUE! YOU ARE AMAZING, STRONG & RESILIENT! I know we come from different cultures but I truly believe that you are the same amazing young woman off and on the camera that we see. You wouldn't have the incredible plaque from KZbin congratulating you to 100,000.00 subscribers! Please be more gentle to yourself, we only get one chance at life. Do what fill your heart with joy and passion. I promise you, when you are my age, you will be glad that you took my advice!😊 I hope you have found love with your boyfriend. You deserve it all! Keep making wonderful videos ok! Sending hugs from Washington State USA!❤❤❤

You have come so far and you’re doing so well, Lou! Be proud of yourself. Don’t beat yourself down.❤ But I get what you mean, I’m feeling the same way. For example, I’m also very ill (several chronic pain illnesses that makes me bed bound for long periods ), but there’s a lot I can do to improve my health, at least as much I can - e.g. eating better, get a well nourished body, doing more light exercises and more physiotherapy. Also taking better care of my creativity and other things I enjoy. You gave me inspiration to make my own vision board! 😊 Thank you! I hope you will have a fantastic 2025, and remember - be kind to yourself! ❤

Dear beautiful Lou . ❤Thankyou for your video I liked your vision board very much … but I didn’t see ‘love my self every day ‘ and be gentle and take rest ❤ Maybe I’m wrong and if I am please forgive me I read somewhere recently that said , to try to always treat yourself like a child , that is in your care , and that you wish to nourish and nurture daily …. My life has been full of trauma and neglect , and I’m now 64 , and so very exhausted , lonely , and tired but I’m ok and looking after myself as much as I can and your videos inspire me ! Just to nourish and take care of myself as if I was looking after a child is all I can do now as I’m now on my own , and estranged from my own children and grandchildren Please don’t push yourself too hard … that’s what I mean Lou , you are such a sweet clever , beautiful girl Lots of love Jackie xx United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Honestly, so many young women on KZbin sound so depressed to me. Too much philosophizing, too much thinking about life goals. I'm older and don't remember any one in my generation sounding so down on themselves. Here's my advice -- live each day being the best person you know how to be. If you must set goals, make them very short term so as not to become overwhelmed. Just live a simple, good, diligent life and you will get thru it like millions of humans have for eons. Looking so deeply into oneself is not such a good thing in my opinion. Be good, be kind, be hard-working, be generous, be loving, be happy. Of course, this is just my own way of getting thru life and I could be wrong, but it's served me well all these decades that I have lived. With all that said, I wish you all the best, of course.

[@GinaKayLandis]

Hi Lou, you know how people sometimes say to those struggling "You are your own worst enemy?" I want to say to you, "Be your own best friend!" From your videos, you appear to be a hard working young woman. Please appreciate yourself, frequently reward yourself for accomplishments as well. One career coach I saw recently gave this life-changing advice: - Every morning, go straight into the bathroom. Brush your teeth, use the opposite hand from the one you mormally use. If you normally use your right hand, brush with your left hand instead. -Stand before your mirror, look yourself in the eyes, and state "I love you" ten times. - Take 25 deep, exaggerated breaths after the I love you's. Do the 25 deep breaths in the morning, mid-day (at lunch), and in the evening. Doing this practice will rewire your brain to a more positive outlook, provide more energy, and create new pathways with the change of hands when brushing your teeth. It may actually be life changing! I wish you all good things!

No, there is nothing wrong with you, you are neither inconsistent nor insufficient and your discipline is good when you feel good. You are yourself, you have to accept that, you don't have to become someone else who is better. You are exactly right as you are. Never be correct according to what others think of you, it is impossible to please others, if you try you will waste your life. Be yourself, live, laugh, love, eat delicious food and enjoy as much of life as possible, there is no time for anything else. You say "it's me against me." That is the wrong way. Listen to your body, it knows what is good for you. If you would rather be tired and sleep than exercise, then sleep. Don't set yourself goals that are too big, that will only put you under unnecessary pressure. Just be yourself and take life as it comes. If you like taking photos then go out and take photos of whoever you feel like. The pictures don't have to be perfect, you just have to have fun, that's the most important thing. Don't worry, we'll be here and look forward to all the content you show us. Remember over 210.000 People like you just the way you are, and that is just here on KZbin. Stay you, do what makes you happy without pressure.

Oh thanks, I have a low thyroid too and didn’t know that! I do love seaweed but it’s hard to get here and very expensive, so I’m actually glad after reading that we can’t get it easily or I’d have been munching it a lot thinking it was good for me

It's not about others, it's about wanting to improve yourself and your life. It's ok if you don't wanna change yourself and your life, but others may want to and there is nothing wrong with that. Of course if this comes from not loving yourself, then it's different. But it could just be trying to do something more :)

[@-greentoad]

There is nothing wrong with wanting to improve yourself. For you only and not for others. You set goals to accomplish new things in your life. It's a fresh start for you and only you. It has nothing at all to do with what other people think you should be.

[@brandylou9132]

Hello sweet Lou. It is always very nice to see one of your videos. Your recipes look so delicious, and healthy too. That rice!!! I want to try making it. I think your goals board is great. I think you will stay determined, and you will prosper this year. I know thyroid issues make it very hard 😢. I have them too, and it can be difficult to meet goals. Please don't be too hard on yourself. Thyroid disease affects your whole body and mind. Saying you are struggling to manage is understandable and does not always mean you are making an excuse. It IS real and your body may need a break sometimes. About your photography, I love your work and encourage you to grow in that area. ❤ I believe in your ability to reach the gold level in youtube! If I may make a suggestion? I don't know if you are aware that have several viewers, including me say they will watch the commercials to help you get money for it. But, did you know your channel now shows many commercials, and most are long...as much as 12 minutes each! Your video plays about 2 minutes, and then a long commercial break happens. This happens through the whole video, so that means in a 30 minute video, there are up 10 commercial breaks. And, it adds up to about 15 minutes of commercials. 30 minutes or more if the 12 minute adds are played. I think almost no one will watch that many. If you change your commercial setting to a lower level, I bet your followers will be willing to help you out by watching them. If there are too many, or they are too long they will probably turn the commercials off completely. Or, even worse they might turn off the video. I would be sad if that happened to you. I am not criticising, rather giving information you might not know. I hope this helps, Lou. I am excited to see how things happen for you this year, Lou. God bless you. Love from North Texas, USA ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Happy New Year. 🎉 Small goals are excellent. I got a mini trampoline and go on there for a minute or so when I take a break. It is a very easy form of exercise, does not hurt your joints and gets the toxins moving through your lymphatic system. Exercises every muscle in your body with little effort. You can get foldable ones. Highly recommend as it also strengthens your core. 🙏 for all your 2025 goals be met. 😊

Dear Lou, no one is perfect. You have done a lot for what you currently have. It means that you've already done well! Be sure to understand your strengths and praise yourself! Don't forget that!

[@tzachjade]

Dear LouC, Don't be so hard on yourself. Life is hard, especially as a foreigner in a strange country. Change your terminology: don't 'fight' yourself, it's a lost, doomed battle. On the contrary, Let Go - accept your disadvantages and faults and embrace the positives. Live each moment and each day knowing you are doing the best you can and not coercing yourself... Don't think about 'fading', 'inconsistency', etc. - nothing is a 100%, never. Let go of the fantasy of being 'perfect'. Let's say you just cleaned your house and the floor: is it *really* 100% clean, or are there bits and pieces of dust/dirt in corners you cannot see...? Search each day for these dark spots in your life and gradually and slowly begin to metamorphose lovingly, while accepting the hardships and the negative, you cannot step into the sea without getting gritty sand in your toes. Love from the Middle East ❤

Está muy bien tener sueños y esforzarte por hacerlos realidad, tener objetivos es lo que le da sentido a la vida pero, cuando planifiques tus tareas, planifica también tiempo para descansar, para estar ociosa, para desconectar de tus preocupaciones. Si no recargas tu batería mental y física te agotarás y te sentirás frustrada. Poco a poco, Lou, objetivos realitas y descanso. Un abrazo muy fuerte para todos. Saludos desde España.

Hi Lou, It's always good to have goals like setting up the coin box for a new camera. Just do the best you can and don't worry about things. Take care of yourself!

Thank you for the encouragement 💕

[@izibear4462]

Also, start a gratitude box and look back a year later at all the blessings. P S. I think you already do one?

USA 🇺🇸 here! I just bought those very same shoes in black!!! Great minds, lol!!! I’m a couch potato, I’m ok with that! Something I want to make sure of in 2025, is to finish my grandsons quilt and to make 2 quilts for my 2 adult children. That dish you made in the rice cooker looks so good, and healthy! I’d never make it without a dishwasher…I’ve been spoiled for too long! I hate washing dishes. Do you make enough food for your boyfriend or does he cook what he wants to eat? Do you share the food bills or each buy what you want separately? Just asking, not trying to be nosey! ❤

You are a very sweet and determined young lady, Miss Lou. I am 73 yrs. old and so blessed to put all my hope and trust in Jesus Christ, my Beloved Lord and Savior. You need not fear the future if you know Who holds the future. Exodus 20:3-5 God Bless!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with self evaluation and self examination...its what you do with it. Dont be down on yourself about anything from the past, you cant change that anyway and getting upset over it does no benefit. Learn from your past and move on! After all, God's love for us has nothing to do with what we have done but what He has done and Who He is. Your value as a person is not based on what others say and think. You seem to be a very courageous young woman who is doing the best she can. Just know there ARE those of us who love you and support you.
