4 Reasons Why You've Stalled On Your Goals

[@ItsAJarofJam]

I really love the Journaling prompts and they align with how I've been reflecting lately about how I'm moving through my life. Particularly what goals to prioritize and that I need to give myself to permission to slow down in order to be intentional!

[@AleciaLott]

Aw thank you so much, I’m happy the prompts have been helpful. It took me a while to realize that I can’t even begin to set goals without unscrambling my brain a little bit first. I hope you are able to see the vision better now!! 💜💪🏾

I like that you review your journaling and think out loud about what's working and what's not. Helps to see the process and that it doesn't have to be perfect!

[@AleciaLott]

Thank you so much for saying that! haha I'm always like "do people really care as much about to-do lists as I do?" but yes it's true, you just have to start and not worry about things being just so. Anyway, I hope you are having a good week 🤗💜

Great video. Thank you so much for posting. Love the idea of having goals that fire you up when you read them out loud. Gives me something to think about. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@AleciaLott]

Thank you so much, JR!! 🤗❤❤❤❤❤ Yeah I was starting to say to myself, "oh I'm still doing that, huh?" when I read my current goals. Not the best feeling. Anyway, I hope you are having a fabulous week!!

Thank you! I just moved to a new country and have TOO MANY goals and to-dos to start a life here. It's overwhelming, but I hope journaling can help me slow down and prioritise which goals to focus on

[@AleciaLott]

Congratulations on your move! That's exciting! Where did you move from / to, if I may ask? Also very stressful I'm sure, but you did it!!🤗 Journaling has helped me in ways I can't describe. I'm still not perfect but that's bc I keep changing my mind 😅 I hope it helps you too fren!! Have a great rest of your week!

Hi Alecia! I feel like I always have the same goal...to save money! I desperately need an emergency fund and I start one every other month lol but always spend the money! The main thing that I struggle with is social media influence. I'll see something that is cute or that I think I need and I'm adding to cart. Ugh! So I recognize where I struggle I just need to fix it! It would also help me to not have access to the money when I do save it. Thanks for another great video!

[@M_SC]

Maybe if you imagined some Very possible emergencies and imagined you had to pay that exact amount it would help. Like, water heater, likely cost, $400 (or whatever). Car window crack repair, $xxx. And then fund one. Then each paycheque fund another one or partial.

[@AleciaLott]

Hi JoJo!! Thank you for watching lady, it's good to see you 🤗 I am right there with you on that one, struggling to keep my emergency fund from flying away!! I think I'ma park some of my savings somewhere so I can't touch it for a while. But THAT in itself is scary because...what if I need it? 😩Anyway I say all that to say that money stuff is hard but YOU CAN DO ITTTTTT!! Have a good rest of the week!!

[@mytubebetty]

Yes, try writing your intention 1st. I think it will affect the rest of your weekly plan, as you can reflect how your to do items will connect to your intention for the week!

[@AleciaLott]

Thank you lady, you're right - I'm gonna do it!! Don't know why that didn't occur to me a lil sooner 😅 but doing the intention last does make the video more dramatic in my mind? Anyway, let's see how it goes. I hope you're having a good week!

I loved the content and your concept of Journaling. Only wish your voice on the video could be a litter louder. I'll definitely subscribe to watch more content from you.

[@AleciaLott]

Thank you, Barbara! 💜 I'll work on the audio for sure, it's not fun to struggle to hear a video. Have a lovely week!

Hi! So happy I found you. I bought a bullet journal at the beginning of the year and haven’t used it! Ideally I’d like to use it as a task/goals journal, but also a place where I can have pensive, reflective thoughts? Is that possible? Also I’ve saved a lot of tips about health/nutrition, books to read, outfits to put together, interesting sounding fragrances that I’d like to purchase, and so much more, across multiple platforms such as Pinterest, Twitter, Reddit, screenshots from random comments from KZbin videos.. lol would love if I could somehow cross-reference some of these things in my journal.. like for instance, I want to be like, “oh what did that one doctor on Twitter say about vitamins again?” And then I’m able to look it up on my journal and find the post. Does that make sense? lol I feel like I might be making this harder than it has to be, but I need some real structure in my life.. any advice would be appreciated!

[@AleciaLott]

Thank you for watching, I'm happy you found me too! To answer your questions: Not gonna lie, I still have trouble with keeping all the random floating bits of information together, but I’ve started to devote more time to go through it all regularly which helps a lot! For book highlights and short written stuff I like Readwise. You can save highlights from anywhere and it will present them to you every day like flashcards 😭 You can ABSOLUTELY do planning and reflection in the same journal! Do your thing, think about what you need and go for it. You can always switch it up later. I do reflection/gratitude in my bullet journal at night before bed. Didn’t show that in this video but it’s basically 4-5 things I’m grateful for and then a brief rant about whatever I’m pissed off about that day lol. What if you had a digital journal AND a physical journal for reflection? What if you got really fancy (and spendy) and got a tablet like reMarkable so you could combine everything digital and still have the physical sensation of writing with a pen? You can do it! Try putting something in your journal this weekend and see how it feels.

@@AleciaLott aww thank you so much for your response, and giving me good , tangible tips that I can try. I appreciate it!

Your room is ugly. Please redesign

[@KM-nq7hz]

That’s not very nice.

[@AleciaLott]

Yet you clicked my shitty thumbnail and watched the video long enough to form an opinion about it, and left me a comment. So I win. Hope you had a good week, fren!! 💜

Thank you 💗😘
