Are you team calling it pop or soda?! 😅

Also for future reference these are things I don’t want to eliminate but hopefully they can be little treats and not life controlling 😅 except pimples that can ✌️ out hahahha

Hey girl, really appreciate you talking about the chocolate trade. Tony’s chocolonely is actually 100% ethical and each bar is split into uneven shaped pieces to show how uneven and unfair the chocolate supply chain is! Has cute packaging and tastes amazing too.

i love how transparent this video is because we all are fed this idea that certain people on the internet are perfect. we are all perfectly imperfectly but we all want to paint ourselves as something different. thank you for this video :)

"these were just habits I created to survived, and sometimes all you need to do is survive" literally just blew my mind. I've been trying to get rid of my need to be scrolling/ need to be on social media/ need to escape since the beginning of the new year and some of it has been easy but some of it has been hard. finding the lil ways to still get on Facebook or YouTube shorts, spending hours having YouTube videos in the background noise to give my brain satisfaction. And I remember social media is what I used to escape my toxic late teen, early adult years. its a trauma response, and like every trauma response it's hard to get rid of. this definitely put it in a different perspective for me, but its not gonna stop me from trying harder to break it off.

I love the dedication to stop habits that are not serving you. However, I couldn't stop feeling that maybe we don't need to deprive ourselves of all those little things (chocolate at 2pm, a diet coke), that make life more enjoyable? We aren't on the planet for a long time and maybe a few of these things can be enjoyed without as much guilt or pressure to abstain. ❤

Many of my bad habits cost a lot of money. I was drinking 8-10 Diet Cokes a day. Quit= Save $100 a month. No Buy/Low Buy is my work for the year. I'm 14 days in, and doing well so far. Regarding Social Media (mine is YouTube - haha!), I have a lock box for my remote control. I lock it away for 7-10 hours each day so I can write and work without watching great videos like yours... until after I finish my _NEED_ to dos. Thank you for this validation!

[martinakristofova]

I truly appreciate that you planned and kept this for a whole year. I admire that :) and please don't feel so bad about bad habits- we all have some. It doesn't subtract an inch from your human value. If anything it makes you special. And of course, I understand why you need to get rid of them; I just hope you go easy on yourself. Keep making amazing content!

[chiaraa]

"Everything you eliminate, you have to replace" - this is so so so true and no-one talks about it.

This is a beautiful video, and the human value in it is, really, not quantifiable through views and revenues. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing your thoughts with us, with honesty and without romanticizing. It has been an incredible healing journey (i know - such an abused word, but understanding the importance of self-love is the base for such process).

To an amazing 2024 ❤!

[sainsworth]

the vulnerability and transparency in this video are so endearing and relatable. i also have my vices and i loved how you wrapped this up with grace and kindness for the why. i appreciate you so much, keltie!

[unstoppabledoris]

I cover my pimples with patches to avoid popping them. If they are white heads a simple patch will do - if they are still developing Ill do a spiky patch that has salicylic acid.

Popping pimples is so big for me, mighty patches have saved me alot of embarrassing scars.

[mollyefthomas]

Just over here gently weeping off and on throughout this whole video. Holy crap, what a tough and powerful thing you've done. Thank you for letting us in, for sharing such delicate pieces of yourself with us, for choosing yourself over and over and gentle encouraging us to do the same. Sending a big ol' hug your way.

So many of these "habits" are coping mechanisms for anxiety. I recognize many of them from my experience. Medication isn't for everyone but I benefit enormously from taking anxiety medication (Sertraline for me, aka Zoloft). I wish I had started in my 30s or even 20s instead of finally taking the plunge at 43.

My name is Anna and I am 24. I wanted to share something with you, Keltie, and everyone else here.

Your videos (especially in the last couple months) became a life changer for me.

I have been trying to built new healthy habits without realizing I still didn’t get rid of the bad ones that were hunting me.

You inspired me to actually prioritize my self being and my happiness before someone else. Because if my cup is empty i am not going to fill anyone else’s cup either.

Thank you ❤

This video is so powerful that I've watched it about 5 times already!! Without a doubt it is one of the most impactful YouTube videos I've ever watched. Thank you for being so generous with yourself, presenting something so real and honest, and taking us with you on the ups and downs, the ah-ha moments, the whole journey. I tried a habit-a-month challenge about 5 years ago and didn't stick with it. So much of what you said explained why, and the advice you gave makes me think I can try again and be more successful. I'll focus on looking at what purpose that habit may serve, and try to put in a habit switch, rather than just removing my vices, use if-then statements... I'm excited for 2024! For the record, Aussies call it "soft drink" or "fizzy drink" :)

[RenaeWang]

This is so inspirational! I love how she shared both her successes and failures so it's actually realistic.

[alicewinn]

I'm so glad that at the end of this journey you understood that grace and being gentle was important. Living with constant fear and criticism is not a recipe to enjoy one's life. I'm not much older than you, I'm 37, but the older I get the more I understand the strength of kindness and forgiveness. I'm proud of what you've accomplished, I'm very impressed that you've even tried or questioned anything. Most people don't even get that far. Lots of love for the New Year!

[natalieontheroad]

I needed this content today. I am feeling so stuck in my life- unhappy about a few things, most of which I can control. I've read the habit books, like you, and know that I need to set myself up for success by developing systems to achieve what I want. I feel inspired to make a plan now and attack it systematically like you did. Thank you again. I am a new viewer and really enjoy your energy and content. Happy New Year!

[lynnmikolajczak]

This video is so relatable and the moment you said “they made me survive” that hits me so hard. It are indeed mostly coping mechanisms. You inspired me to start tackling the “dirty” habits also 1 per month (I have the tendency to go all in and quit everything but that’s just not realistic- life happens) and swap them for habits that serve me and help me in becoming the person I want to be. Thank you for this video ❤

[xphienie]

So excited for a new year with your videos! This one felt really special. Honest, human und motivating! Your truly one of my favorite creators! And I relate so much, even though we're different. But living alone in a big city with a job und juggling everything, trying to be healthy and happy and a good friend, family member and human is stressful and how to basically live a good life without needing to have bad habits for the dopamine kick is such a challenge. Anyways - just wanted to say how much I appreciate all of the work you put in your videos and how consistent you are!

[zosiaukaszczyk]

my queen! keep doing you! i love the more personal angle on all your challenges and have so much respect for you!! your conclusions about being understanding and gentle towards yourself is so wholesome and is something ill try to implement from now on. loving yourself into change, not forcing it. sending so much love and hugs!!
