how I created my dream life STEP BY STEP

[@RachelSmith-l2k]

Really hit home by thinking what would she do, would she settle for this or would she stand up for herself.. 💪🏻💪🏻 girl power ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@jadewoodward7011]

This is everything I needed right now. That extra push to get me out of the rut I’m in. Always keeping me sane so thank you Syd

[@aaronwilmoth6154]

I feel this damn. I got out of a 7 yr relationship and then broke my foot a few months after. That "i have no motivation and i dont care" hit home. Glad you figured it out syd

[@amybennett9545]

I really needed this. My life has felt so lonely and I’ve been so lost recently. I want nothing more than to feel better & to find myself. Thank you 💕

[@annika770]

Damn this hit the spot. You briefly mentioned that you’re now living on your own and from following you I know you’ve moved cities. Don’t want to overstep but I would love to know how you’re dealing with “leaving the family behind” or if that’s never been a problem for you. Only if you’re comfortable talking about it obvs. Thank you so much for all of this, you’re a true inspiration. Love x

[@nikkia8259]

I would love this as well, I moved cross country from a tight knit family and I deal with guilt for leaving, but I wanted to grow and do this.

[@Isobelsteadwood]

I’ve been in a growth journey since I left year 11 4 years ago, I instantly realised how toxic of an environment I was in and unfollowed like 300 people + on social media’s and also removed followers that I didn’t want seeing my stuff, since then I’ve been pretty quiet on social media. The next thing that I did was try to become more in touch with my emotions and become more self aware as that’s been able to help guide me into different routes, I’m now on antidepressants, I’ve done one round of therapy and I’m on a waiting list for another, it’s all about trial and error. Then in February of this year I joined the gym properly (I joined twice previously but cancelled within 3 months) and now I train 3 days a week with a push pull legs split and I’ve gained so much confidence with that. My goals are to decide what I want to do with my career, I didn’t go to uni but I am working and I’m ok with my job I think I want to try work my way up to a slightly more in charge role to better the place I’m working, I also want to try to delete tiktok but that’s hard for me since I spend so long on there as an escape (it’s so unhealthy but it’s procrastination at its finest) also wanna sort out my eating habits because I’ve been in a cycle of unhealthy eating habits for way too long. But these all come with time and I will get there 100%. You are one of my biggest inspirations along side anna archer🫶🏼

[@kathyg8684]

You are taking so many positive steps! Keep it up and fight for your happiness and inner peace! Maybe look for a friend or two to practice the new healthy habits. Cheering for you!

[@lotsoflovemadelief]

I quit tiktik and I must say, it changes how you view yourself when you're not influenced like that anymore. Honestly feels so good. In the beginning quitting is really hard, so I used Pinterest a lot whenever I felt like I automatically checked my phone for social media. Pinterest is a much healthier way to get inspiration and after a while it becomes quite boring too, so you easily let it go. Anyway, I know you can do this! You got this x Big hug from a stranger on the internet!

[@benkyoudayjp]

I'm kinda glad that I found Sydney on my TikTok page, now I'm in the boredom phase, and watching her videos got me understand what should I do. Really great influencer and hopefully one day I could meet her in person

[@AVx00]

THIS! VIDEO! IS! SO! INCREDIBLE!!!👏🏽 I truly truly loved every bit of this. Threw this on to listen to while I was driving & ugh I can hardly express how much this hit me! I loved every second of how touching, how eye opening, how relatable, just so much about this was incredible. So very happy for you to have reached your goals, paving the way, sharing your knowledge with so many. This video deserves all the views. New subscriber here- much love to you 🩵

[@lotsoflovemadelief]

This was so inspiring! I am finally clearing my mind and my space again. I am healing my body and my inner self and am so ready to tune into the energy of the woman I have always dreamed of being! I am ready!

[@vanessasaur]

you're my favourite fitness influencer

[@madelinedwight]

This video made me cry. Thank you so much for your vulnerability. Sharing your story and seeing what went into the level of growth and change helped me realize that I NEED to believe in myself more. I love your content Syd! Hope to see more YT vids in the future. Thank you for always being genuine

[@screenshotofwords7839]

wow I clicked on this and the fact that your rock bottom was caused by the same things that led me to my rock bottom was probably the most validating thing i've needed because part of this journey has been feeling insecure about what caused me to hit rock bottom. so excited im here and cant wait to learn from you.

[@ruhanirawal6042]

Fr the past 3 months I've been all over the place struggling with all parts of my life and somehow it feels like this is exactly what I needed to get my shit together. Everything has been so overwhelming but it will get better soon and I'll work on it, on myself and be better person for myself❤

[@catrennell]

I’ve been following along with you since I started my own fitness journey nearly a year ago and you’ve helped boost my confidence in so many ways. I love that you’re growing along side us all still too. Thank you for everything that you share, it makes a huge impact. 🥰

[@earthyreads]

This was the most comforting and encouraging video ever. Thank you Syd for being such comforting and positive light in this huge fitness space❤️

[@neldormiveglia1312]

2:15 I was there two years ago. I was right there. I had zero motivation to do anything and the fact that life couldn't stop for me was overwhelmingly painful. I had to keep doing stuff, work, college, but I felt like shit and I knew I looked like shit as a result. Not just because I had stopped taking care of myself like I used to, but also because I was on a constantly fight-or-flight mode. My body was rigid, I even flinched when someone would tap my shoulder. That's how bad it was. I got back in the gym despite all of that pain and it helped me clear my head. I started therapy, which helped me order my thoughts and make a plan. And right now I'm at a place in life I didn't think was possible two years ago. I thought that was it, that I was never going to be myself again. That the "me" I had known before was fake and this, the version of me in deep pain, was the real me. Find help, reach out to friends, push yourself in small steps. Please, please, it gets so much better. I promise you.

[@w0033944]

Love the photos of you as a kid! You can see the personality!

[@sami-sk1bu]

thank you syd i reallyyyy needed to hear this. i was starting to feel drained by the people surrounding me. now i get to focus on myself.

[@LoveMarMar95]

What a beautiful collaboration of your experiences. Thank you for sharing this, so much. You are literally reaching me, almost as the universe has guided and communicated with me through you. Thank you for your genuine piece of work here. I have been growing and pushing ahead, doing a lot of the things you’re talking about here! Therapy has been life changing and your push with JFDI is what inspired me most - this tells me to stop waiting and create the blog I want to create. I’ve ruminated on how/when/why/etc for a long time and I understand how critical it is for me to take that step, now. Thanks to you! You are a beautiful soul. All of the light and love to you. ♥️

[@theadhddiaries3361]

Why did I cry the whole way through this!!!!

[@larissafelber4494]

you are so inspiring. espacially bc i can realte to you in so many parts💓 thank you syd!

[@shizuku321]

I just discovered your channel and I just want to say : Thank you so much for telling us your story and having the courage to be so vulnerable online, I really needed this to be reminded that I'm not alone in my new journey to fitness and I'm sure many others who watched this video did

[@PraiseAra]

This felt like a FaceTime call with a friend in the best possible way. Needed this ❤

[@oogie_11]

It’s crazy to hear someone say you’ll get out of it when everything within you feels so lost on how to get out of the funk. I’ve left so many jobs this year, I’ve left my career behind as a nurse and am getting my butt into gear to finish my studies for my CPT and I’m behind because life has happened and so has mental health. I want to reply to this comment back in a year just to see where I’m at.

[@cobainity]

i usually don't leave comments that often but this video genuinely made my day. all your advice is so great and i can just see the effort put into editing this video so beautifully. thank you so much for sharing this, you are beyond inspiring! 💗

[@lidia4485]

Syd you've done an amazing job at structuring this!! I love how you made it seem so simple and easy to follow like this is literally everything I needed to hear. A few weeks ago I decided to completely shift my life and change into the woman I really want to become and seeing this video made me feel so much at ease. Like it's actually possible. You're such an inspiration and I really hope you know how much you're changing lives just by being who you are and sharing your story. Thank you so much

[@estudiosinverguenza]

KZbin just recommended this video. I really like your style, it feels so fresh and authentic. Thank you ✨

[@sineadryan4424]

Thank you for opening up and sharing this, it's really inspired me to make the changes that I need to to live the life I want ❤️

[@alexandra.adochitei]

[@lalailm]

I just love her energy ❤

[@abarnag2821]

Very much needed, Thank you so much for sharing your journey. Best wishes for your journey ahead 👍

[@oogie_11]

Watching this as I’ve been struggling to get out of bed and get myself back into life.

[@charmaineappiah4070]

Your video came just in time with what I am lining to do in my life, thanks for sharing.

[@kyliebarresse9040]

crying with you, i needed this, thank you soooo much for this

[@alexaacosta2004]

you are just an absolute light in my life right now. been in quiet the rut lately but your videos are the extra push i’ve been needing

[@summerrose6563]

I started the gym almost 3 years ago, this last year is when I’ve really taken it seriously and I’ve fallen in love with the gym. My previous goal in life was to be a tattoo artist and after following you and falling in love with the gym I’ve realised I want other people to experience that. So I am not training to become a personal trainer and I am so excited. Ive just watched this video and taken so many mental notes for what I want to do with my life and the person I want to become so badly so I want to thank you! Out of all the influencers I follow your by the realist and the most relatable out of them all. You have such a lovely positive attitude to life and you gave me so much more confidence.

[@claudiazedda744]

You are so inspiring, thank you so much for opening up about your journey. I absolutely loved listening to you!

[@deexo3757]

You don’t how much I needed this. Literally crying with you. you and your story are magical sis thank you for sharing ❤😭

[@Mchelle021]

Very happy to learn your story, Syd. Congratulations! on all of the hard work and earned success. One of the highlights of your video was the idea about making decisions from the place of what your goal-self would want or do for herself. 👍 I want to keep that in mind for all of the small and large decisions I am faced with as I go about my day, focusing on shifting toward being my best self!

[@PlantsandGoodVibes]

Such a calming video. And you’re so eloquent! Thank you for sharing, Syd!

[@megandaniels7208]

Syd, thank you. This video couldn’t have come across my feed at a better time. Your words are moving yet so grounding. You’re so authentic, so real, so knowledgeable, and so inspiring. JFDI. ❤️

[@laraherde3774]

Ive started following you recently, and im glad I did :)

You’re very beautiful inspiring young lady. Thank you for motivating so many of us. ❤

[@thrivey-co]

AMAZINGGGG! Thank you so much for being you and sharing your badassery with the world!

[@samantha11davis11]

Omg Syd!!! I just came across your content and I feel so grateful ahhh I LOVE this video. Such inspiring tips here, definitely going to start incorporating similar ones to upgrade my own life :)) So much of what you're sharing here reminds me Superhuman meditations that I started using recently after a friend showed it to me. It's a really cool concept - multi tasking meditations helping you tap in to your ultimate self and manifest your future. Sooo applicable to leveling up your life and getting clear on how you want to live and feel. They have soo many meditations specifically for getting clear on what you're dream life truly looks like and visualizing it so you can become this person! Incredible habit stacking - can't help but share b/c I feel like you'd love it haha :)) it's been a game changer for me! So excited to explore all of your content x

[@carrie4556]

Thank you so much for this, it couldn't have come at a better time. Speaking of podcasts, I think you would make an incredible one! I could listen to you talk about this stuff literally forever, it feels so sincere

[@jessicakirkland8929]

I want to be a fitness influencer & I would love if you would make a video specifically towards that because I am so lost on where to start & how people end up getting sponsored by big brands like Gymshark. I love gymshark & I love fitness & I would love to be a gymshark athlete one day.

[@marcognx4898]

The only bad thing about this video is the music at the end :p Jokes aside, thanks for sharing. I'm happy to see you glowing, you deserve it. I'm in a moment where i want to make things clear in my head about what i really want for my future, inside and outside the internet. You are an inspiration.

[@lollipop7925]

Love you and the video!!! Thank you so much! You really make me cry watching this video but realising there is always an option to get out of the dark places you think your in… this video helped me a lot, lots of love to you❤️❤️❤️

[@annandieventer4517]

Love this! Watched, and re-watched ( a few times, haha ) So relatable and inspiring! Thanks for this one, Syd !

[@yasesaka]

I'm going through my life and I just came across with this video. I'm the person who addicted creating sth such as social media content and more. Some people I've been hanging with preventing my to do that I dunno why, I felt weak and sick but I'll back! :)

[@btrussell21]

Thank you so much for sharing. I really needed to hear your video today. ❤

[@amberheeren4374]

I've been following you for a while and you're truly inspiring! I've gone through the mill this last year like you wouldn't believe Finally got the help I needed (and actually accepted it) so my mental health has really improved. I've been consistently working out and gotten a lot stronger but I just can't get my eating habits under control... I feel like I just keep gaining weight and it's bringing me down. It's like the last hurdle I need to conquer to get to my dreamlife so do you have any tips for me?

[@fiks1210]

Thank you for the video.. It's been very helpful and inspiring ❤love your journey.. I would like to ask you about the charity you mentioned? Can you please tag them?

[@sydgrows]

if you're in the UK you can speak to your GP and they can refer you to a charity that's in your local area x

❤❤❤❤

[@zarastrong3315]

it is so hard to watch her say anyone can do this while you are watching with a chronic illness knowing you cannot do what Sydney has done, no matter how much you want to.

[@FaithEtiosa]

Some of us are definitely privileged in this sense, and taking it for granted. You're right & I'm sorry it made you feel this way BUT just because your life may look different, it doesn't mean there aren't other things you can't achieve. Like she said, everybody's ideal life looks completely different.

[@zarastrong3315]

Aw thanks faith this is really sweet. It is a hard one becasue I love watching Syd, but at the same time it makes me long for things I know I can never have due to my health. I can't work, I cannot train consistently, I cannot travel, I have to have someone with me 24/7 to do my medications. I feel like disabilities are not spoken about in the fitness community. Most people are healthy and trying to get healthier, while some of us are sick and exercise can make it that little bit more bearable for us. @@FaithEtiosa

[@dodgethis_]

I know you truly mean what you're saying, but even the fact that English is your mother tongue gives you a massive advantage in unlocking an extremely wide audience in pursuing youtube, so I don't feel it's fair to say anyone can achieve it. Having said that, I'm very happy for you, and I don't want to diminish your experience in any way!

[@anigabisonia]

Most likely less than 1% of people watching this will be trying to achieve success on KZbin. Her experience is just an example of what you can achieve using the principles she spelt out for you. Does not mean you don't have to adapt and apply the advice based on your background and goals. Not sure what your comment is even trying to dispute: speaking English is an advantage in life? Duh

You didn’t do anything, Yahweh did! Blessings 🩵
