Here's a flower for reading all this 🌼 You're amazing!

decluttering a phone/computer regularly is such a good idea, mine often gets left till I run out of space on my phone and that's then not a fun task! hope everyone has a lovely Christmas ❤❤

[@minniesmall]

It's great to stay on top of it! I thought I had done a decent job this year but I just looked at my photos and I haven't cleared them in over a year 😅 Definitely need to get through them (hopefully before the end of today!)

[@Nkanyiso_K]

Same! When I move to Cape Town I'd love to be able to run a *marathon* with my closest friends so ive been using an app to help. Ive started *reading* more fiction (these are both to decrease my screentime & get out of the Home office). I really want to be able to talk to my *Spanish* speaking art friends in their own language so that's a goal I've planned thoroughly.

[@Nkanyiso_K]

😅 by same I meant, I started in December rather than waiting for January. 💜 lovely video & merry Christmas

[@minniesmall]

This is great! Glad you've managed to get a headstart on what sounds like brilliant goals for the new year 💛

[@walkingexercise5375]

Glad you are posting again! You videos are such colorful artist gems! This was wonderful advice. Love the idea of rest and reflect with the image of cats! Mariane Cresp has a video called how to use a self-care/break list on her channel where is talks about 3 types of breaks and Jashii Corrin has some mental health journal videos where she discusses self-care like self-care bingo on her channel. I like those ideas. My goals and/or 30 day challenges is fitness/walking, too! I will use outdoor walks and KZbin walking workouts from Grow with Jo and Leslie Sansone Walk at Home. I also need to do more strength workouts and drink more water. Wishing everyone a great Holiday and New Year!

[@minniesmall]

Ooh thanks for the recommendations! I'll be sure to check out those channels :) Best of luck with your goals for the new year! (and thanks for reminding me to drink more water!)

[@KamuanyaDesigns]

Missed your videos so much! ❤

[@kenkenichi7461]

Do you know why she's been gone?

[@evelynart]

I don't know if you remember me but I'm currently working on the video about your work and it only took me a year to do it! haha Truly, I so appreciate you as an artist and youtuber, I love your work and you've inspired me for years. God bless you, Minnie! I'll send you the link to the video when it's up!

[@sevclar7363]

I am so glad you are back.This was so inspiring.May you have a really blessed time of rest, reflection and renewal.🎉

[@minniesmall]

Thank you! You too!

[@regina9085]

Glad to see you are back and doing well :) Happy new year!

[@ClayDisarray]

Thanks for this, Minnie! Here's to a super productive and creative 2024 for everyone! 💛

[@minniesmall]

Thanks for watching!

[@rahsketch]

This was so helpful and a great way to start the New Year. Thank you so much! 💛

[@minniesmall]

Thank you! Glad you liked it!

[@penthevision4706]

Thank you for the tips 💕

[@minniesmall]

No problem 😊

[@leafninja247]

Thank you for always being such a positive light ✨️ this was exactly the video I needed to see after Christmas, and esp from one of my favorite artist here ❤️ Hope you have a wonderful and productive year, Minnie 🥰

[@minniesmall]

Thank you so much! Happy New Year!

[@boxhaeddesigns]

The good stuff is here

[@Mltms1444]

happy new year

[@minniesmall]

You too!!

[@ambidextrousandre]

Thank you, Minnie. This is exactly what I needed for my New Years resolutions. Everything you have said is correct and appliable for me anyway. I've taken some notes of things that I need to do. I can't do calendars, never been able to or goal checks. But I have jotted things down here and there to try and complete them even if it takes a while. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to post. Merry Xmas Minnie, love from New Zealand.

[@minniesmall]

Thanks so much for taking the time to watch!

[@thinnmarmoody]

Looking forward to more of your videos next year! Cheers 🥂🥂

[@minniesmall]

Thank you! Happy new year!

[@aimeecreative]

That’s a huge dealll! The inbox digital declutter! I’ve been wanting that for so long! That’s one of my goals for next year. Very peaceful and motivating 😊

[@minniesmall]

It's so freeing once it's done, and so much easier to stay on top of things after as well! Best of luck!

[@simplyratu]

Always the best content

[@minniesmall]

Thank you :)

[@Justme_247]

Happy Holidays!😊

[@minniesmall]

Same to you!

[@deboramissoorten6765]

Aha full of good advices and ideas , I will definitely re-listen and take notes . This 'in between' time feels a bit as a 'waiting time' for a fresh start but I don't want to put the pressure on myself of having figured out everything already by January the first but there is also a part of me that dreams of be 'prepared' in a way hmmm .... the thought of giving yourself a' real 'time off as you said is indeed something I need to work on too ... Thanks for sharing and I wish you a Merry X-mas and a very good start of the New year !

[@minniesmall]

Absolutely! I hope this video didn't make you feel you had to put any pressure on yourself to be completely ready for the new year. taking this time to rest was definitely the most important point I wanted to make :) Happy Christmas and New Year to you and yours!

[@deboramissoorten6765]

Oh no Minnie you didn't put any pressure on me ☺, I just was relieved to hear all the possibilities @@minniesmall

[@mandy7674]

What a funny coincidence! I’m just in the middle of some digital declutterring, finally looking through old external hard drives and usb’s to open and save what I need. I’ve been painstakingly categorising and naming all my prints and illustrations so I can keep track. When I feel stressed I go through my emails and unsubscribe and delete things. OHH a few weeks back I finally deleted the Instagram app and replaced it with Sporcle …so now instead of browsing through silly videos/photos I’ve been challenging myself to remember all the countries in the world 😅😊 It feels like less of a waste of time and doesn’t have terrrible comment sections to bring me down. Hope you have a lovely New Year!

[@minniesmall]

Well done! That sounds like a mammoth task but will be so worth it when you're all done. Ooh I might check out Sporcle too! I've been doing Wordle to pass the time instead of scrolling :)

[@eleanorpratcher748]

You gave some very helpful information on how Tobe successful in meeting in mygoals for the coming year! God willing of course!

[@minniesmall]

Glad it was helpful!

[@wendyhaas4914]

Its nice to see some more videos of you and art. I missed your absence but if you had more pressing matters tha takes precedence over posting videos even though this your job not including your commission works. Just enjoy your life and friends and family. Take care. Wish you the best .

[@minniesmall]

Thank you so much, Wendy 💛 I'm really enjoying being back and am hoping to balance my time better so I don't have to be away for so long again :) Happy New Year and all the best to you too!
