There is actually no better time than right now, at the very beginning of the year, to reset your routine and go into 2025 with a positive mindset.
I am a big fan of day one.
I love reinventing myself.
I love becoming a better version of myself.
But day one for you can be any day of the year.
I think honestly it's more about day two, because you wanna be consistent and keep that motivation and mindset going after day one.
Today I have a super cute self-care day planned, starting out with a Pilates class.
I have been craving a Pilates class.
I haven't done one in about a month.
And today I decided to make the drive to one of my favorite Pilates studios.
This one is just so aesthetic and pretty and it makes working out even more fun.
I'm feeling very excited.
What better way to get my workout done for the day than to do one i actually enjoy?
During 2024, i was the most consistent i've ever been at being active.
For the last couple months, i have been working out either every single day or every other day, which is like amazing for me.
It's just made me feel so accomplished.
I've never been that person who's I've just been so motivated to work out all the time.
But what really helped me is finding workouts I liked.
I love going to Pilates.
It again helps me romanticize my life because it makes working out look so pretty.
Like I love the outfits.
I love the Pilates studios.
It's such a fun experience.
It's so girly.
On a more practical level, i have been going to the gym just at my apartment and i love it so much because i found a workout i actually like.
I'll do the machines and i'll use the weights and do all of that stuff.
But my favorite thing to do at the gym is go on the stairmaster.
I do 30 minutes almost every day and i love it so much.
I just like finally found something i actually like and every single time i do it i take a little video of me finishing up my 30th minute.
But I love the StairMaster because I'm able to put on my show.
I'm able to just tune everything out and watch, like my Netflix series, or watch a YouTube video or listen to music.
The StairMaster has been my best friend in 2024 and we will continue our friendship in 2025.
I just finished up with my Pilates class.
It felt so good.
I was shaking the entire time.
I don't know what it is, but I always forget how intense those classes are.
So every time I sign up for one, I'm like, oh, it's gonna be no problem.
It's gonna be a good workout, but it'll be over so fast.
And then I get in there and it's the hardest workout ever.
But it always feels so good to get my workout done because now I have the rest of my day to do whatever.
Now that I'm finished with my workout, I'm gonna be the most LA girl ever and go to Erewhon and get a smoothie.
Is very rare that i do this, but i'm really feeling it today.
I think i'm gonna get the hayley bieber one.
I've had that one before.
That one's really good.
Also, the coconut cloud um, i've had like the.
I always get way too excited for these.
I decided to go with the Hailey Bieber smoothie.
It's actually so delish.
Going into 2025, I really want to declutter and clean my apartment.
I just feel like I haven't done a huge decluttering day in years.
I've just had so much stuff build up over time.
So this year I really want to work on cleaning out my stuff, especially my closet, because I have clothes in there from middle school that I haven't gotten rid of.
Like that is crazy.
It's just very long overdue.
I also would love to be a more minimal spender.
I just feel like there is so much stuff, like at the back of my closet or at the back of like, my vanity drawers, that I totally forgot about because it all just got tucked away and I haven't reorganized in forever.
So I am slowly working on going through all my stuff, throwing away the empty products, donating the clothes that I haven't worn since middle school, that I don't know why they're still in my closet.
It's just already making me feel so good knowing that I use all of the things that I have.
I think one of the most attractive qualities a person can have is when they have a list of goals they wanna accomplish.
I just love being around people who are working towards something.
Like, no matter what this looks like for you, if you have an abundance mindset and aren't limiting yourself, I think that comes with gratitude and being thankful for the things that you have.
I just have always known I wanna work hard, but also have a balanced, happy life.
Like I have so many goals outside of just work.
I really want to start 2025 off by getting a new journal to write all of my goals in, to write things that I feel thankful for, and I want to keep this up for the rest of the year and see my growth.
Barnes and Noble is one of my favorite places.
It is so cute in there and I love shopping for books, but I also love shopping in their little section of like journals and stuff.
I found this notebook slash journal that I'm going to be using all year.
I'm so excited.
It's so cute.
I love the pink and then I got like a little... pink highlighter pen thing to go with it.
They just look super cute together.
I'm the type of person who constantly has to write a list of things that are on my mind.
A lot of times my mind just overwhelms me and I have too many thoughts at once.
So when I have like a more organized list of everything that I need to get done and all of my goals that I have
I can get everything down on paper and I also can have more mental clarity on how I'm feeling and whatever situations are going on in my life presently.
Writing them down helps a lot to get through them.
So I wanted to go over some of my new year's resolutions for 2025.
Number one is to keep playing electric guitar.
As you guys know, in 2024 I started playing and it has been so much fun, so I really want to keep that up, learn some new songs and practice regularly.
I also want to paint more.
I was an art major in university when I graduated last year and since I've been graduated, I definitely have not been as motivated to keep painting.
I think this happens with a lot of art students like it's just really hard to keep that motivation going when you don't have deadlines anymore.
So in 2025 i need to work on just motivating myself and having that discipline to keep getting all of these things done.
I also am so excited to continue with my hair journey in 2025.
I have dedicated a lot of time to my hair the last couple months and going into the new year it is no different.
I really want to grow my hair very long and healthy.
I just miss my long hair so much and I'm on the pathway to getting that back.
So I'm so excited.
I think my hair is very happy.
I just got home from my hair appointment and I can't stop touching my hair.
Like it's so soft.
It looks so nice.
It smells so good.
This year I really wanted to take the time to make a 2025 vision board.
I like doing this just on my laptop instead of printing pictures.
It's so much easier this way.
And I really wanted to make it my wallpaper on my laptop.
But this was so fun to put together because I think when you want to manifest something, having like something visual to look at helps so much.
So I'm really looking forward to seeing how many things on this vision board comes to life this year, and it was just really fun and aesthetic to make.
This kind of goes without saying because this is what my channel is about.
In every single video I am romanticizing my life because it makes the everyday mundane tasks I usually wouldn't enjoy enjoyable.
Like, no matter how I am spending my day, if I'm doing chores, or if the weather is super shitty or I'm having a work day, I always try to see the beauty in all of those things.
So here i am tonight, going grocery shopping with my boyfriend, and usually this would be one of those errands i don't look forward to.
I kind of just want to get it done.
But when i romanticize my life, i like to make anything an exciting time, like i feel like.
Romanticizing my life is just about finding something enjoyable in a situation that i usually would not find enjoyable, and making this grocery store trip into an event instead of just something I wanna get over with as soon as possible.
I wanna make it a fun time.
So obviously everyone goes to the grocery store and I feel like this is a perfect example of how you can make things you usually wouldn't think twice about into something a lot more fun making things more enjoyable, seeing the beauty in things and being able to appreciate any situation that you're given.
And I think you can also romanticize your life when it comes to emotions.
Whether I am feeling sad or stressed or anxious, I think there is something so beautiful about being able to feel all of those emotions.
Like i'm the kind of person who feels things so deeply and i feel every single emotion and even if i'm having just the most terrible day, i can't get out of bed, like my mindset is horrible.
I think there is something so beautiful about being able to feel that way, like as a human, we are able to feel those emotions, and i think if you're able to look at it in a way of like wow, i can feel this deeply, like look at all of these emotions, look at these things i feel so strongly, for it's honestly such a beautiful thing when you really think about it.
Anyway guys, that is it for today's video.
Thank you so much for watching until the end.
I am wishing you luck on this first beginning step of 2025.
Hopefully this motivation sticks and this year is one of the best yet.
I love you guys all so much.
I hope you have an amazing rest of your day and I will see you guys soon in my next video.
Bye guys!
