People usually wait for the most "convenient" time to do something. Wait till new years to work out, spring cleaning to declutter, and along those lines. DON'T wait, start today, start now. I just started going back to the gym and eating better a few weeks back. I was so tired of putting it off and I'm so glad I stopped waiting for the perfect time to start.

I agree so much with you! Especially in the “don’t be afraid to change directions”. I got into university right after high school without giving time to myself to think about what I really wanted to study. So I got into Electromechanical Engineering. Everything was working well except for that feeling of been wasting my youth studying something i didn’t enjoy. So at the end of my 3rd year I decided to drop it and risk applying for an scholarship to study Tourism. A lot of people were against it and I was afraid but I did it anyways. And now I live in South Korea, got to learn a new language, try a whole bunch of new things and I am feeling better than ever! If it doesn’t make you happy or you feel that it’s not working, just risk it! Change the direction!!

I wish I would've seen this video and listened to it (especially talking about the first point) it took me years to learn that working WITH my obstacles and embracing my problems and bad situation at the time and learning how to accept what had happened would help me be more positive and achieve things. I always wanted to fight against what was happening and refuse to accept what was happening and let me just tell everyone here- fighting against a bad situation that happened in your life (which for me was my dad leaving our family due to his illness and my parent's drawn out confusing divorce) doesn't help anything and only makes you wallow in depression and suffering for no reason. Once I learned to accept what had happened which took a long time, I was able to be happy again and accomplish my goals. Just my two cents.

i'm thinking about some harsh comments under your videos which say that you are superficial because of your content (which is absolutely nonsense, there are just things that aren't shown to the world). those people should watch this video because it proves that you think about your actions and reflect them. and honestly: i think it's such a brave thing to share imperfections and the not so great moments of your life. it's said that many people take this for granted or use the information to bring you down - obviously something to change in 2018, too.

Hey Rachel , first of all I’m your fan from Saudi Arabia : I have some suggestions for your channel for the new year : 1 : some challenges for changing habits you have , and it’s like a vlog everyday but in one video 2: make a video a bout your plants how you take care about it 3 : making a video a bout full morning routine and minimal night routine for sleep 4 : make a video about “ visiting your mom and dad “ and giving them some gifts “ there are a lot of people see that seeing their moms is only in the mother’s day and there are another people they are forgot them 5 : make a playlist here about all 2018 videos , maybe this will be amazing for you and for us 6 : talking about your grocery shopping, is it monthly or weekly... and how you buying without making the vegetables and fruits expired without using them 7 : talking every week a bout what you learned from “ one book “ you are planning to read it in 2018 , so we will learn from you and you will motivate us to read books more 8: taking about how to deal with phones without wasting the time Good luck ❤️

I love the positive attitude and vibes you exude in this video Rachel! I would definitely not say that you failed vlogmas - it was successful for you because you gave it a red hot go and learnt what you needed to from it. Ask me a couple f months ago and I was not comfortable with vlogging let alone daily vlogging! However I decided to give vlogmas a crack because I am returning to my day job next year and I wanted to push myself to produce content faster and get more comfortably with vlogging versus sit downs. It definitely wasn’t about subs or views for me and I’ve certainly surprised myself with how capable I am and how much faster I got at filming and editing this month. I’m now ready to head into 2018 continuing YT while balancing work and family. Love all your content - keep doing you. All the best for the new year ahead 🌟💖

Hi Rachel I just want to say one small thing Everything don't really have to have a reason . I totally get it that it's a way to reduce your anxiety but everything that we do or happen to us is because of us and wherever we are is because we wanted to be here intentionally or unintentionally. So I think if you start thinking this way you can intentionally make things happen the way you want them to happen and have the power in your hands rather mind and not on anything else. I wish it helps you cause it has helped me a lot . And I really really love your organisation videos very much. Love you 😘😘
