[@esethu.]

KZbin addiction is part of the reasons why I’m here 😅

[@AdamaLorna]

I hear you on that one 😂

[@TheCassieDiary]

I replaced “TV” with KZbin 😩

[@nessamclaughlin2769]

This!! 😮‍💨

[@HappyFitFatty]

Right 😂

[@SEIDAYS]

No facts! 😂

[@heyitsjennifer]

1. Podcasts over music 2. Using AI to simplify tasks & automate 3. Morning pages journalling 4. Stop listening to the News (mostly) 5. Walking regularly 6. Regular digital audits & unfollows 7. Simplifying skin care routine 8. Exercise strength routine 9. Reading 10. Practice gratitude

[@hagerkouraichi5894]

Girl your voice is addictive ❤

[@AdamaLorna]

Thank you ❤️

[@nefertitimontoya]

The sound quality is so high too!!

[@aylina1904]

I recently made a print newspaper subscription for Saturday and Sunday. It is amazing. Now I sit down two to three times a week and spend an hour to catch up with the broad news without falling into a rabbit hole. The best thing about printed newspapers is that there are no pictures and videos that can disturb you way more than the text.

[@AdamaLorna]

That's a really smart idea! Opting in to print and limiting what you're exposed to. Thanks for this!

[@aylina1904]

@@AdamaLorna you're welcome

[@lottigeeklove8203]

Morning walks are on top of my list. ❤️ I incorporated this habit in late 2023 and never looked back. It did wonders to my morning anxiety, it’s an immediate mood boost, makes me feel good and thankful and keeps me off the phone for a few minutes. 👌🏽

[@AdamaLorna]

They're top tier tbh! Multiple benefits 🤎

[@rtu8054]

Spot on! I also want to get into the habit of keeping in touch with family/friends more consistently and strengthen those relationships❤

[@AdamaLorna]

I love this habit! It's something a lot of us don't think about making habitual but it's so important ❤️

[@jules-zc1me]

shopping with intention is so important!!! saves me so much money

[@AdamaLorna]

Honestly, less waste, money saved, reduced environmental impacts, a wardrobe that you acc like. The benefits are big!

[@AlexaLikes]

I do an evening journalling when I feel like I need to clear my mind before bed. I do it at the end of the workday task dump.

[@AdamaLorna]

I like that idea too! Glad you found what works for you ❤️

[@tracy11115]

I started walking during Covid and now it’s part of my life. I get 4+ miles per day in rain sleet or snow I’ll be out there. Life changing, I listen to podcasts, music etc

[@AdamaLorna]

I love this! Really is life changing and it’s so simple!

[@BeautyUniverse44]

I love this!! 2025 is OUR year

[@louisamoolman8776]

Happy to have found your channel. This year after learning from 2024 I will be picking up habits and dropping as well but one thing I have learnt is to move in silence. Thanks for the video. Love from 🇿🇦

[@AdamaLorna]

I’m happy you found it too! You’re welcome ❤️

[@kwon_gidi1574]

Your accent and your voice tone are beautiful ❤️

[@AdamaLorna]

Thank you! ❤️

[@amandabritney]

thank you for this video, 2025 is the year i want to elevate my goals and reach my potential , im excited but anxious because i know it’ll take some work!!

[@AdamaLorna]

You're welcome! It's super exciting, that anxiety is probably a sign you're moving in the direction of growth!

[@OLatreil]

2024 was all about implementation. I created my course teaching others how to heal themselves with the blood type diet like I healed myself (I’m Type O) and it’s almost done 🎉. I’ve had to limit social media and KZbin to a few minutes at a time or for brain breaks. Also I’ve grown fatigued with entrepreneurial content over the years, so 2024 consisted of MASS IMPLEMENTATION. The topics I consumed in 2024 were about spirituality, fashion, and vlogs. I rebuilt my wardrobe from The Goodwill thrift store with natural fabrics and quality pieces (having a similar issue as you are with Zara but at the Goodwill). This year I plan to look and dress beautifully by planning ahead in my night time and morning routines (prepping my hair, picking out my clothes, etc. I love beef tallow too!) daily supplementation and weekly meal prepping (not much to plan since I only eat meat and veggies), initiating fun, keeping work at work, more implementation and nurturing my audience for biz growth. 2025 is already amazing!

[@VibesByRose]

I love this!

[@mckenzye4295]

Thumbnail so good , I tried double tapping to heart it..before I realized 😂❤❤

[@AdamaLorna]

It took me about 15 minutes max to make but honestly it’s one of my favourite! Thank you 😂❤️

[@Tobedestinymojica]

I love you channel! It aligns so well with what I am doing. Creating everyday, becoming conversational in Spanish, and learning Excel for marketing are some of my goals. ☺️

[@AdamaLorna]

Oh I like these goals! All the best ❤️

[@adrialenico8022]

5 habits I want to drop: -inactivity -poor diet choices -ruminating on the past -giving up on the hard things -leaving a mess 5 habits I want to gain -Tidying up casually -praying in the morning -thinking positively (I’m a hothead) -finishing what I started -cooking better meals -honorable mention : checking in on people more -Affirmations

[@evelynbarry5046]

Waking up at 5 am worked amazing for me. Actually I wake up before that. As a.single mom those beautiful hours early in the morning where nothing has cluttered my mind and none of.my responsibilities have begun yet, these hours are golden. At night I fall asleep with my child at 830. My sleep is so nice and I look forward to waking up because I have those hours of peace to myself

[@stembabe740]

Definitely agree with aligning social content in line with what your goals. and also discernment regarding what information we take in and incorporate into our lives.

[@AdamaLorna]

We have to have discernment! 🤎

[@daliaanakwah1313]

I picked up reading as a habit later last year and you mentioning as one key habits you'd be adopting into this year is the push I needed to get my head straight.. This year I've decided to be intentional about my health so thanks for the pointers . ❤❤

[@sabrina7113]

I found your youtube channel about a year ago and I’ve watched so many of your videos, and I’ve got to say that I’m so grateful I came across your channel. I resonate with your personality and different perspectives so deeply, and every time i see you post a new video, it’s so refreshing. I love watching your videos and sometimes putting them in the background. Just the sound of your voice and your accent, as well as the nice, slow, relaxing jazz to complement it all. Also, I love your smile it’s so contagious ;)

[@AdamaLorna]

I’m grateful that you’re here! Thank you for your kind words and I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos and vibe ❤️

[@liyahashh5978]

Omg !! The Zara thing. I realised this at the beginning of 2024 I was clearing out my closet and just had bags of brand new things with the tag on from Zara because everytime I passed I had to pick something up !! Capsule wardrobes for the win now

[@KimikoA24]

Hello Adama ! ( excuse myself if my english is bad it's not my mothertongue lol ) This video resonnates in me ! 1st thing ,2025 is a year i want to start correctly by creating habits ! I have no consistent routine beside work, i just woke up and do whatever it's on my mind , i don't be like at 10am i've got to do this , then 11 that, not at all, and i want to fix that ! Yesterday stay up late, i set up my alarm early because i wanted to have a productive day, my alarm didn't work so i woke up around 3pm!! I felt so so miserable as soon as i saw the clock because my day was ruined. I never ever want to have this feeling again, i'm not working now because my contract is done , but i want to use my time counsciously by creating small habits in order to become better, improves my skills, body , health ! your video motivate me a lot :) 2/ You're so real about not listening news anymore ! It may sounds selfish and disconnected but we're just filled with negativity ! Radio , tv news , always talking about violence, aggressions, promoting racist people, making fun of my religion, wars wars wars , i'm tired ! We're like sponges and we keep listening this chaos...a chaos i'm not involved with ! The aim of government is to install a bad climate so they can play and manipulate people viaa the medias, so everything becomes suspicious. I'm not a sheep I'm aware this world is not perfect but life can be beautiful too ! I'm an optimist person and media is poison to me, and i don't even want ton talk about the fake news they share lol. 3/ Sopping with intention yes ! I no longer shop without it , if i don't need it , i 'm not bying it ! i was thinking about being a fashion content creator lol , but all they do is buying new clothes and overconsuming just to follow up trends

[@thebritishenglishteacher]

I completely agree with avoiding the news. I stopped reading the news regularly years ago and it made me a lot more relaxed. I still hear about major events through other people and social media, and I can read about them if I need to know more.

[@allthingsmally3036]

Love your take on listening to news, a lot of time I feel the same way.

[@AdamaLorna]

Thanks, it can be a tricky one to navigate but gotta way up the pros and cons

[@Vine698]

Thank you for your big Sissy advice ✨😊

[@AdamaLorna]

No problem ❤️

[@Diisycornerr]

Actually I do agree with you adama about the social media consumption especially before bed that’s something I am working on to leave behind in 2024, Especially now with the ban of TikTok,also about the shopping things yea cause online shopping was a big over consumption for me but I have to leave this behind too, and I love creating things like art too so I want to try to implement more painting. 🖼️ 😊

[@tashundrarobinson3792]

Fantastic video!!!! Thanks for sharing. Walking for clarity and stretching for a much needed daily slowdown are key movement focus points for me

[@AdamaLorna]

Thank you!! 🤎

[@AnthonyPotterJr]

Love your content as always. Habits I plan to form in 2025 as of now are having a content schedule, learning something new every day, and daily meditation. I plan to reread Atomic Habits so I can be more efficient in my habit implementation.

[@AdamaLorna]

Thank you! Atomic habits lays out the power of habits well and how to implement them for success!

[@nekia2much]

I agree with you about the news. I do not watch it. I also do not watch reality tv. I found myself being anxious while watching it.

[@mysteryblackstudio6185]

Being versatile does have some limits, I sometimes wander too long on things that might be in grasp, and I have not started with the very simple day-to-day things, So I'm going out of the way for something that has set in mind (ideal) after this I get back on track again. Haha, Girl. Today we have so much to choose from in a rapid worldwide forensic there may not be enough time in a day to enjoy it all, Being organized and having a good routine is the key. People do value their livelihoods, I enjoy your vlogs, Ms. Adama, Happy New Year, Stay Fit. 😎

[@KenyaMicheall]

Thank you for sharing all of this useful information! 💕

[@Diisycornerr]

I miss your videos Adama, I am glad, I am back.❤

[@goldsand]

My top habits are building systems that work for me and help me better my habits, like solidifying a night routine, I am a 5am girly so I also want to get back into that and also being more intentional about taking care of myself and my spending habits.

[@AdamaLorna]

Sounds like a plan! Wishing you all the best in the new year!

[@cosmic_sunflower3864]

[@thedimemichelle]

sissss, don’t leave us hanging. drop the deets for the beef drippings you use for your skin. do you make it yourself? a particular brand you use? what’s teaaaaa

[@AdamaLorna]

Hey! I honestly use organic grass fed beef tallow that you can get from Grocery stores or farm shops if you live by one! Because it is just beef fat theres no really fancy brand although some online shops will whip the tallow so its more like a consistency you expect from a cream. Just make sure its as close to organic and grass fed as possible with no additives! ❤️

[@gymworkout_with_adaora1091]

Love this ❤❤

[@francegallo8747]

Night routine and morning routine are linked. I use ayurveda routine and I sleep better and my energy is higher, paying attention to the cycles of the day. 🙏

[@BB-gd7ez]

You said "sugar" I was like, "Dang! Really getting in my face." When you said, "Zara." My mouth dropped 😮😅. I was like" Wow. This is a very specific targeted attack on me, personally." 😭 Thr way that Zara has me in a chokehold. I think it's my comfort store.I go in there for absolutely no reason at all.

[@AdamaLorna]

Not the orchestrated attack! Yeah "comfort store" is a great way to put it! Anyway, let's start with a no buy Zara January and work from there 😂

[@katelynestella]

Hey Adama, thanks so much for the video. You mentioned something about posting on LinkedIn every weekday. I would like to practice that too but I don't really know how to research for what to post. Could you please share some tips. Thanks again for the video ❤️✨

[@AdamaLorna]

You’re very welcome! I source a lot of my linked in posts from KZbin videos I create. My process for ideas is based on noting and reviewing my experiences and learnings. But think about what you want to talk about and create content pillars around that! I spoke about this in my video on building a personal brand. There’s a section on building your online presence ❤️

[@katelynestella]

@AdamaLorna Mmmh, thank you so much, let me go watch that video immediately

Hey, I have a video that talks about my notion set up and walks through it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHebeqaOaLZmmtUsi=w4kWmdUzjXS5Y6xi But may be cool to go through it in its own video on a review day and show how I use it! ❤️

[@BertineaAmeachi]

So i am 19 years old turning 20.....i need some tips on how to to make money and investing . .cause I've been learning how to trade to make my own money and be fully independent, but i find it hard to understand..any other tips you can give based on this ..cause i am really into business but i dont know where to begin....i need to make my own money and saving up .

[@TheGoldenImpact]

Definitely would help & say mindset and internal work is 1st. 2nd, What do you enjoy doing? Or what are you good at that comes difficult to others?

[@AdamaLorna]

Trading (assuming you're talking about day trading) isn't necessarily what I'd suggest for building financial stability at 19/20. Realistically, you'll need to develop a set of high income skills either in a job or freelancing. Gaining an understanding of business, the markets, and customers if your interest is in business. It'll also allow you to start making money that you can save and invest in tools, equipment and education. Going straight into business without these can be challenging (although not impossible). I agree with Golden Impact- brainstorming an answer to those two questions- What do you enjoy doing? Or what are you good at that comes difficult to others?- can be a great place to start. It's hard to suggest something more specific without knowing more about you though. Also, you're young- don't be too harsh on yourself or rush things. Explore your option. I would suggest watching the podcast episode I recorded with Deya on my channel around freelancing. She took an alternative route and shared valuable insights 🤎

[@BertineaAmeachi]

I guess always looking out for me and my sister with no parents around, is the reason why I want to have greater things and achieve more while i am young...life hasn't been easy for me from the age of 9 and with all experienced ,I learnt a lot most importantly independency...but if you think it's best for me to take things slow ..I will take your advice, after I look up to ..thank you

[@LumiViDesigns]

Hey great video where do you get your beef tallow from?

[@aniexx3504]

Could you please link where you buy the beef droppings I’ve heard of this before I’m quite intrigued

[@tobafadeke]

OK. I don't even listen to music. But I can look for a time for podcast

[@sidoneygordon5259]

Where can I purchase beef tallow?

[@AdamaLorna]

A lot of grocery stores sell it, alternatively farm shops and I believe some places online but you need to be careful as you want 100% beef tallow with no additives

[@khumbomhone7981]

As someone who studied geography, how are you reconciling using AI with the environmental impacts of it's use?

[@AdamaLorna]

It's a fair point. I believe that use of new technologies, like all things are a series of tradeoffs- especially in their infancy. However, for the purposes of profit and longevity it's in the interest of the AI community to improve efficiency. I won't pretend it's not a concern or something we have to think about but I think it's important to place new technologies in the context of technological progress. Many of the tech we enjoy today also went through highly inefficient periods. I do believe, like most technology it will trend towards higher efficiency out of necessity. Otherwise it will cannibalise itself or have to switch to model where less people use it by force. As mentioned in another comment, there is an impact from all our use of technology, the batteries that power our phones and computers have both environmental and social ramifications that we have to confront. But everyday we all make a decision that we will accept those tradeoffs (at least in the moment) because of the payoff or upside of the tech. We all do it everyday but we should all be more proactive in moving towards sustainability across the board. People often forget that sustainability is a three point aspiration- thats social, economic AND environmental. Not just one. If there is a technology that can net improve our social and economic standing (which i guess is a wider debate around AI) then we should move to improve it's efficiency and reduce it's environmental impact not ignore or reject the technology all together. It's a complex discussion for sure.

[@SamoAlcendor]

Can you explain morning pages method more detailed.

[@AdamaLorna]

It’s actually one of the simpler methods. Each morning you write 3 pages. You don’t use prompts or try to do anything other than write what comes to mind no matter how small or big. The idea is to free your mind up to think about other things. It’s from the book The Artists Way ☺️

[@tariib3955]

You should narrate!

[@N3ssa212Linda]

Can you share the numbered list please in caption or comments

[@homodeus8713]

I’ve substituted sugar with You Tube. Is there any particular reason for posting on YT on a Sunday?

[@AdamaLorna]

I just like the idea of Sunday posting. Gives me a week to ensure the video is ready and people typically have Sunday off so they can watch. Some of my favourite creators post every Sunday and I watch/listen while I go for a walk 😊

[@shivanigogar5914]

💛💛💛

[@LaoneLegwaila]

It would really be lovely if you could share your night time routine with us

[@ciaramanning7941]

Could you do a video on nutrition? I have no idea about macros, fats, proteins etc or how to incorporate them all into a sustainable diet Please and thank you Doll❤❤

[@AdamaLorna]

Like I said I don’t veer into nutrition anymore on this channel because it’s personal and can have big impact (positive or negative). There’s other channels that specialise in this but I’d definitely encourage you to do your own research and think critically about things ❤️

[@gracebutters9283]

You should search how much water AI uses per question 😅

[@DaniBrianaxo]

I would love to get into the podcast world but I truly feel like they spread A LOT of misinformation...it can't be just me 😕

[@AdamaLorna]

This is true of all media platforms. You have to think critically about all media consumed. Try some podcasts out, see what you like and who you believe is worth listening too x

[@hollybabyyy]

Promoting ai?!?!? Jesus what have we come to

[@AdamaLorna]

The beauty of a free market and freedom of choice is that you don’t have to use ☺️

[@hollybabyyy]

@ no i wont bc i dont want to be brainless and lazy like everyone else is or further ruin our environment. Think its really low of you, or anybody, to push ai

[@AdamaLorna]

I suppose you don’t use Google either for fear of becoming brainless and lazy? I promote critical thinking and use of tools. AI has its draw backs like all technologies and tools. However, you’re entitled to your opinion. Thanks for the feedback.

[@hollybabyyy]

@ simply typing in a question or looking for clothes online or typing in a location for google maps isnt quite the same as having ai write ur essay or email is it now. You cant promote critical thinking skills and then say you support people using ai and suggest your audience use a robot to do the thinking for them

[@AdamaLorna]

@ I could make points about how our use of Google to answer questions and resolve problems could make us lazy and stunt growth but when used correctly it’s a tool that gives us access to volumes of information and data our brains can’t store and we get to decide what we accept and use and what we disregards. The tractor could make us lazy because instead of working the fields we invented technology to take away some of the manual work and redirected our efforts. This is not a new argument nor is it a new fear. Some level of scepticism around new technologies is normal and should be there but if we write off every technology for fear of it making us brainless and/or lazy I fear we may stunt our own species.
