No New Year’s Resolutions needed: commit to daily resoluteness instead.

[@davidwilliama.7296]

I'm thankful that I found your channel recently. These videos are what I need to hear. My life has been quite chaotic and I don't get enough gentle encouragement. I don't even know how to encourage people around me because I'm so often in a bad state of mind myself. In a sea of negativity and chaos online, there are videos like this that are kind of healing to me. You're not advertising or trying to sell something. You don't cut up your videos or have music or other things. It's just you and the camera, which is kind of like what KZbin used to be in certain areas. I also like how you start each video with "Hello, my friend." As a person with no friends close by, that statement makes it feel very personal and intimate. I don't get enough of that in my life. You kind of remind me of Mr. Rogers, in how calm and gentle you are. We need more of that in the world. I hope to be that kind of person someday. I'm not there yet and I make a lot of mistakes, but bit-by-bit, I hope to become a person who is gentle and kind and calm and wise.

[@MaggieHolston-k6p]

I agree in her saying hello friend - she's wonderful. I'm binge watching all her videos, the contribution she's making is incomparable, priceless, and I've seen and read a lot and I'm no youngster. I think she's greatttttt, a brilliant woman.

[@mollieanne]

What a great message!

[@bramble-95]

Exactly 👏🏻 This makes me feel so proud of myself! I've realized a couple of years ago that new years resolutions are complete nonsense. I'm dealing with severe depression and working on goals seemed almost impossible for me for the longest time.. I finally started to improve when I started looking at goals differently. I started reflecting everyday, lowering my expectations, being realistic with myself, taking (often VERY) small steps and be as kind to myself as possible. Something that also really helped me was to stop talking about my goals to other people. I just work on them quietly now for myself, without the expectations of others. Like you said, it is definitely a fun process to work on yourself like this 😊

Thanks again Emmy! Great message about resolutions, we need to be kinder to ourselves and keep starting again and again. Best wishes for 2025 ❤

[@lighthouseleagrave]

You are an inspiration as always. I've also found that changing the language I use makes such a difference. No more "I should..." or "I must...". But "I want to". And then I can see it through.

The best so far! I've never been to therapy. So important to find the right person. I would totally go to Emmy van Deurzen.

[@valeriedent5779]

I do journal and active imagination writing instead of resolutions and now will add these daily questions. Perfect start to the day. 🙏🏽😊

[@EmmyvanDeurzen]

Brilliant! You are making it your own.

[@m.l.a.5506]

The everyday process...so true.

[@Nathaliann]

Having the courage to humbly accept one's own ignorance helps us embark on a new path of learning, our mind and heart expand and rejuvenate. The expectation of unknown knowledge, in any area of our lives, could be that flame of enthusiasm when we wake up each day. A lifetime of improving every day sounds exciting. My support from afar to all those who are learning to feel better every day. Thank you so much Emmy, what a joy to have found your community

Thank you my friend ❤ May 2025 be a year when we can all be engaged in the process of life day by day, living in love not fear, and staying curious.

[@connydm729]

This is very beautyful Emmy...thank you ❤ Conny from Belgium

[@katharinatrub1338]

Yes, Emmy, I like it when you say, always find the courage and practice to be resilient, go through the day being curious and as you say also, make mistakes while learning from our mistakes, reflect on them and improve. ; )) (and maybe say "I'm so sorry). And yes, I've always thought about not choosing a New Year's resolution. How limiting would that be?! Rather I am grateful to be alive since life is not infinite but it offers a series of new beginnings. I wish you Emmy, Hubby and Bruno a joyful, light and elegant jump into the New Year! ; ))

[@ruthking649]

Thank you, Emmy. You are my mentor. Warm wishes, C.

[@SIERRATREES]

this is good. there is nothing better than making a change, a course correction, to improve the direction of your life, big or small. What you are talking about resonates with a book I read called Atomic Habits, where a small daily change, pursued consistently, can add up to a lot over time. Also , it about not being to big for your boots, and maybe realizing you've been doing something wrong and there is a better way.

[@dale9724]

Always great advice for people who want to be happy grownups. Thank you Emmy.

Love this. we are all in process - there is no endpoint!

[@MrPinkfloydian]

Lovely! I even got myself emotional... and I don't even know why. That thing you do with wise words and messages ☺️ So thank you for another wise way to frame it in the most perfect and actionable daily routine 🫂 It's like cooking, right? We set the same stage in the morning, the same "routine" so we hit a pan with a certain amount of fire and time. If with that certain amount of time the food was well cooked... one is set to go for the next daily resolution. If not, we reflect and dream about it during the night, to reach a conclusion if the pan needs more heat/time (if the food was undercooked), or less heat/time (if it was overcooked) 😁 So... I wish you a wonderful and joyful New Year with plenty of good daily "cookings" 😉 and good health 🫂 All the best, my dear Emmy ❤️

[@drjitters]

Thank you, dear Emmy. ✌️

[@janepickard3319]

Yes! For me this is about making the effort to NOT be on auto-pilot - with your thoughts, actions, habits etc. - am not much good at it but there is some awareness there.

[@tiffanyl4352]

I love this. Focus on today (also the advice of Jesus!). Today is all we have. That’s so much more manageable than thinking you have to worry about and “control” 365 days. Just think of how to live TODAY and those long term changes will come naturally. It takes the pressure off. 24 hours is much more manageable. Such obvious advice, but often overlooked.

[@isdrmm]

Wow, another great one! Amazing, your videos have helped me a lot! It's very important to focus, commit to learning as you go along and be grateful for these opportunities, slow down and relearn how to live a little more calmly, because it seems that in this way the fire of life is returned to us, and also avoid just wanting to visualize things that are far away - since this is not guaranteed. Happy new cycle!
