5 new habits to start in 2021

Nothing screams "new year" like "new habits" (unfortunately. You'll see why in a second). Every year I try to implement new, better habits in my life and I usually talk about those in December because I want to inspire you, too, to create healthy routines and change your mindset in a positive way.

“Productivity comes in cycles” SO TRUE. I have days where I’m top of my game, ticking off everything on my to do list... then next day I’m binge watching Netflix and I’m up to my neck with tasks I’ve postponed.. lol. I’ve learned to pace myself now, just picking a few main things to do even on my ‘productive’ days, and making sure I have enough energy to start again tomorrow.

"Nothingscreamsnew year like new habits, UNFORTUNATELY" I felt that😂

I started this video thinking I wouldn’t make it past a minute because it was going to be the same mumbo-jumbo everyone says every year, but this was actually exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you.

I started doing these good habits
1- waking up at 6 am
2- going out to a play ground with friends which is full of grenery
3- do some yogas there, play badminton(bcz it's winter in India), or jogging and sometimes running
4- drinking something healthy like milk or Horlicks or any healthy drink
This is my morning routine before start studying
And among these I suggest everyone to do yogas and meditation bcz it's so good
It will not only keep u physically fit but also mentally super stable
It will decrease ur anger issues, anxiety, depression and anything related to mental health
So highly recommended

These videos usually make me feel kinda bad because most of the habits people recommend just don’t work for my lifestyle, but this one made me feel quite nice and calm. These habits are actually doable. Thank you.

The secret I've found when implementing multiple new habits is to have discipline, be accountable, and don't beat yourself up. You can do it. Discipline is a form of self love and self preservation. It doesn't mean you take life too seriously or are too strict. You just love yourself. Nothing is wrong with that.

I spent like two hours this morning manifesting 2021, being grateful for the things that came in 2020 and setting my intentions for what’s to come 💖

For me when i implement new habit like deleting social media or taking break from it, i start with something that i can see the result. For example, people/books usually recommend to take break for 30 days and see how it changing your life but im taking it just a day and see how the result (my screentime reduced, picking thing up to combat with time wthout soc media etc) and day by day it is much better than saying no completely for a month. It is kinda habit for me to gaze out of the window instead reaching my phone to scroll social media if im bored now.

Having ADHD makes doing a lot of things much harder for me, but this year I will try my absolute best to change. This video gave me some inspiration, so thank you for that.

I just downloaded "Notion" and I am so overwhelmed by it. It would be wonderful if you can film a little guide on how to use/how you use "Notion".
By the way, thank you for the motivational video to start 2021 and beautiful cozy holiday season for everyone who reads this 🎄

I love that you mentioned productivity happens in cycles. A friend of mine told me years ago that she plans her activities around her menstrual cycle and it changed my life! Because as you mentioned hormones can have a part to play. Once you know what your cycles are you can build routines that play to your strengths/strongest periods (pun intended). Being successful in that way also helps motivation too! Great video, l! Love that it wasn’t the regular end of year mumbo jumbo Lol

Watching this in July 2021 ! But, i started a habit of reading books ( a book on your bedside table always helps) last year because i wanted a new hobby and also because reading is a good habit :p Started working out from home as my gym was shut down (hello tummy rolls). Started cooking my own home cooked meals(outside food hygiene was questionable) Learned Baking(because cake!!) Learned to grow houseplants ( because room looked lonely) and now i have 24 of them! Took up Japanese as a hobby (again needed something challenging) and watched a TON of anime haha now that i see I've learnt a Lot of new stuff and it all randomly added to the happiness in my life. Eating healthy. Exercise. New language. Reading new books seems like a lot but it flows if you create an interest for it or a goal per se. Love the video! The more you keep physical triggers of your habits the more you'll be able to do it. Let us all come outta the pandemic looking and feeling better about ourselves! and with a few new habits and skills haha <3

I found these habits really authentic and realistic. No much stress on "productivity" or "positivity". I am not saying these are bad in any way at all, but too much of everything can be overwhelming and hard to cope with. We all go thru phases of feeling down or perhaps negative and also being unproductive.
So I really found these mentioned habits appropriate and logical :)
