The Most Important Things To Start 2018 With

[@ashleymuenchau7694]

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.

[@LissethCristina]

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!!

[@renorinegurusinghe6620]

This is one of your best videos. So honest and transparent. Loved it Rachael...

[@rachelleea]

Thank you ❤️

[@ShineBrightStars]

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.

[@anyahobbs3080]

I agree, vlogmas doesn’t work for everyone. Stick to what you love 😊

[@MrsKore20]

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.

[@rachelleea]

I really agree with what you’re saying :) I think being aware of yourself is really important and I try really hard to be aware of my actions and words :)

[@shavontaemorris1132]

Just happen to stumble upon your channel and the message I received from it hit home. I went through a lot of personal things emotionally and just feeling like I wasn’t doing too much with my life unlike my friends who are moving up in life yet I feel stagnant and demotivated but listening to this video helped me dust off the negativity and get ready to take on 2018 full force I just hope I don’t lose this feeling

[@marlenek3412]

Holy Moly Rachel! I'm a reserved person but after listening to you I felt like jumping out of bed and organizing my whole house and cleaning everything. Looking forward to all your videos!

[@abbyburton851]

I loooove this video! Thank you so much for being so real and vulnerable. It's so easy for people to put on a face when they're doing their videos, and you just seem so real and genuine. And I love that! This was so encouraging and inspirational for me. I've been wanting to do things (such as a blog) but I've been so scared! Your quote "you've gotta risk it to get the biscuit" is PERFECT. I literally just watched another video that said to set a motto for 2018, and girl, that might just be it! Thanks again for putting this video out there! You are so great and I pray your 2018 is filled with blessings! xoxo

[@superrjen]

Hi Rachel, I love this video and your perspectives on how to approach life and all the hurdles that come our way and all the possibilities it gives us. Fully supporting your decision to change tactics for this month. Looking forward to more organisational videos and preparing for the nexr year with you! From a fellow Melbournian xoxoxox

[@rachelleea]

Thank you ❤️ I really appreciate the support

[@kasxrestricted]

Thank you so much for putting so much effort and hard work into filming/editing, the videos turn out amazing! Thank you

[@parksoyeon9372]

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 ❤️

[@confidence7048]

Its stretching your capacity....which is good and its awesome that you took control of your emotions and not let it bother you

[@lulusplannerlifegmz1202]

Girl thanks needed this ....Ive been stuck, hiding out just being MOM. Ever since lost my Medical Office JOB; 1st time dismissed from a job. So I took FAILURE hard and worked there for 5 years. So much for that long term. And now I find myself job seeking and lost with no luck. Its been a year 5months since had an 8-5 job. I work from home self-employed; marketing/sales. But I dont feel Im ready to start over and work for a new boss 24-7. Im still trying to figure out what I want to do. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@SimplyMel]

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 🌟💖

[@danica.janine]

Thank you so much for this video, Rachel! 💕 I’m a big believer in the quote of “Everything happens for a reason” and I truly believe there was a good reason as to why I clicked on your video tonight to watch. I’ve recently decided I want to start my channel back up, and truly dedicate the time and effort into making incredible beauty and lifestyle videos that I love. Your video helped me be sure of the fact that this is truly what I want to do. So thank you! ✨

[@rachelleea]

Aw I’m glad I could help you get your channel back up and going :) all the best with it ❤️❤️❤️

[@valyssajuarez1012]

Came across this video randomly and was brought to tears nearly half way through. Very inspirational! Thank you for the motivational message...looking forward to watching more of your videos 👌🏻

[@GiuliaMazzini]

Watching this made me feel so motivated to do my best on the next three weeks. I started a reading challenge back in January and I'm just two books away from completing it. So I'll take all the time that there's left and actually reach my goal. Thanks, Rachel, much love from Brazil

[@tiwigondwe2760]

New Subscriber here. You were right. Everything happens for a reason and I needed to hear this message. Especially about the fear of failure. I have been thinking about my life and my direction. Your video just affirmed many things I have been struggling with.

[@snellis3607]

Hello! I am new to this channel & I love this video! After watching this video, I am motivated to do what makes me happy & practice organization. I have faith in God that this will be a blessing of a year. Thank you for your words❤

[@marlenegarcia3012]

Thanks for every video, every minute of your advices. I feel so stressed because of my final exams of this semester and this video helped me to know I´m not alone in all this. You are such an amazing human, let me tell you, you are helpping many people fro all over the world and spreading positivity. I send you love from my small town in southern Spain!

[@PowerInYourCurl]

Truly enjoyed this video and I understand not feeling together and organized and wanting to get prepared for the new year. 2018 will be the year of me building systems for my business and myself so that I can keep myself on track and productive. I really look forward to your organizational content during these next few weeks!

[@jguirimmariem5938]

your video touched me so that I WROTE THOSE WORDS Planning is a mess whenever it's time to guess, what to do first, and what to let for next. But, in the end your mind will rest, after doing your best. but in your case Ithink it's to begin by : Organizing is a mess

[@rachelleea]

beautiful :) just beautiful

[@sherenahussein9840]

just needed to let you know i love you,i love watching your videos ,wherever you decide to take your channel i'll support you, you always inspire me to try .always put me in such a good an productive mood an i thank you for that..

[@jentothewren4952]

I can’t imagine how it would be unloading daily. I couldn’t put myself out there the way you do with KZbin. I think it’d be hard as well on your relationship, he seems supportive but I imagine cutting into that personal time with filming and then editing etc

[@elisabethszigetidevis7827]

“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change”

[@sanjuktakashyap7116]

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 😘😘

[@Arguinmera]

Aww.. this is very helpful! All December it never really felt like it's December and it didn't really feel like there's going to be a new year coming but this video reminded me so thank you!❤️

[@mathildeflury8975]

I have my exams next week... and I need this! :) Thank you

[@GeorgieeMaee]

Mathilde Flury good luck :)

[@alexgreenwood2366]

Hi Rachel, I honestly needed this video so much. I was feeling ridiculously demotivated and it helped a lot. Your advice is amazing and I cannot wait to start changing some of my ways. Completely understand the 'everything happens for a reason' quote. I basically live by it and often over think it as well. I'm actually feeling so inspired and cannot wait for more of your videos. Thank-you so much for creating this inspiring content! You also look stunning in this video!

[@StephanieYturriaga]

Omgahhhhhh!!!! I freaking loved this! This is so true, I am seriously in the process of focusing on myself and 2018 work my ass off! And be a better ME! Thank you for sharing! 2018 is our year to kick butt! ❤️🙏🏼

[@AmieLiane]

I've just found your channel and your organisation videos and it's honestly really inspiring and helpful. Hopefully I can think more like you next year!

[@katewhhite]

gurl, where'd you get that journal!!! love all of this motivation aswell Xx

[@nezzydoodles]

vlogmas, vlogging or even blogging are not easy, especially to post consistently. i've been in a slump for so long and to hear you say it's okay, i feel better. hopefully I could go back on schedule in 2018, good luck with your laptop^^

[@cerchocolate]

Thank you! I am learning to weave and become a textile artist after years of following the path needed by my family to earn a living in an office! I have made my first jacket on the loom...in time for Christmas! Happy Christmas and a prosperous and Happy New Year from your latest and oldest fan(56 years old) ...I am with you all the way!

[@chrissylove1739]

Absolutely GREAT motivation!! Changing directions in my life that feels like a TOTAL UPHEAVAL but trying to EMBRACE this change as a new journey and a set of new experiences that will shape the future! ❤️❤️❤️

[@zac2201]

This was a great video! You were emotional because you are passionate about helping others to feel motivated,inspired and organised. You understand how it can help someone into their day to day life. I loom forward to the next set of videos 😊☺

[@aisharhinehart9251]

I needed this word today. I have been having such a hard time these past couple of months so I desperately need some positivity. Thank you for sharing!

[@josefadelabarra5232]

This year has been incredibly bad to me, too many problems and I cried too much. I'm really looking forward to 2018, I want to take control of my life, my mind and that year because I know I can do it. I can't wait!

[@beckyfischer7025]

First I would like to say that you did not fail at Vlogmas because you did a great job. I also want to say that I really enjoyed this video. I am motivated to do some new things this year and to start 2018 with a bang. Thank you for always being inspiring and motivating.

[@kelllycaldwelll5558]

🖋🗓🎆 bring on 2018 my last weeks of 2017 are planning for 2018. Keep on being you and living your passion.

[@angelflower176]

Vlogmas and vlogging is really hard i dont know how people do it without having a professional editor.. cos you are staring into a screen a lot so it can negatively affect your relationships or friendships esp people who don’t want to be in the vlog. It must be exhausting for people!!

[@rachelleea]

I don’t know how people do it either, when I was trying to upload in the morning I’d be editing til almost midday and I’d feel so detached from the world

[@angelflower176]

yep! im thinking some people must have professional paid staff or paid video editors lol

[@MoniqueGrace]

Angel Flower it really can be! Prefilming is the key for it though, sometimes i have to miss a day cause it gets alot :)

[@PHDinMeTV]

My very first time on your channel and I just Subscribed! This video hit so many things on the head for me and what I am aiming for in the new year! Your authenticity was palpable and I look forward to having you “bring it” and motivate us to get our 2018 started with a bang! TFS! Abundant Love ❤️ Belovedz;)!

[@deidremay702]

Thank you Rachel, you have inspired me on two points. One, I want to be more organised, in the area of planning. One reason for that is that as a 54 year old woman who cleans for a living, I plan to start my own personal styling business. I have just gained my first styling certificate and next I plan to offer free styling sessions to two ladies, as a neans of getting started on my new journey. You are a very inspirational young woman, to all ages. Thank you for your guidance and may your Christmas and 2018 be everything you hope for. 🎄🤗💌

[@beckysolis3058]

Thanks for this video. It's great to hear it coming from someone who has been successful with her video. I'm just starting, I need a long ways to go but that's exactly what I uploaded yesterday. I said I was going to make changes in 2018. Everything you said makes sense. I love your channel and you are awesome! Thanks for the tips and your honesty. I feel the same about vligmas, it is even overwhelming following everyone's post daily. You will do great in 2018!

[@keebailei]

I just really appreciate this positive vibe! Thank you!

[@kayskaht2052]

You have empowered so many people with this video. I was feeling very defeated and upset about my year. This video has gotten me so excited for the future. Subscribed!!! Thank you!!

[@tamtam3681]

The way you think that bad situations happen for a reason is exactly how us, muslims (and I think everyone should thinks this way) god requested us to think, that everything thing happens for a reason and you may hate something without knowing that god chose it for you because it is better for.

[@brittneys6904]

I found you for a reason, so I subscribed because on the very first video, I already love you!!! I can’t wait to see what else you have to offer.... time to watch every single video you have ever made 😂

Yaaaassssss!!!!!! You’ve got this Rachel!!! Love you videos and your passion for organising and motivation! You have helped me more then you will ever know!! Can’t wait to see what you post for the rest of 2017 and looking forward to following you through 2018 ❤️❤️

[@hopealafogianis3424]

I absolutely love this. Thank you so much for reminding all of us that a new start is just around the corner. Best of luck in 2018!!

[@amberloader2915]

As a new viewer, I skipped to 6:30 into the video because I wanted to get to the "The most important things to start 2018 with" content. BUT in saying that, you do seem genuine and your self reflection could be helpful to someone. Plus your vid' included lots of great tips. However personally, I was just expecting the video to be more about content that focuses on helping "ME" (the viewer), rather than a video which is more about your personal experience. A x

[@bibhushanashrestha8198]

Received my exam results and i didnt get through. Just when i thought i am done with everything and felt lost, i click this video.... how amazing! Felt good dear! I hope i get through next time and would love to see some motivational videos.

[@poornashree_nk]

Hy Rachel! I never commented on your videos, but this is your best video ever! First, just your background is motivational enough to change the mindset i'm in right now. Second, your belief in your words really passes good vibes and makes me go over obstacles. And then, i'm really happy you think the same way i do! So, let's do this!
