2014 How to kick your new year resolutions in the butt: Change habits + learn something new every 100 days





 "2 out of 3 of us make new year resolutions. Only 8% keep them"--Forbes


Some ideas for 2014:
  • Change habits
    • "Instead of focusing your resolution on stopping your bad habits (eating too much, smoking, not spending enough time with family), think of them as learning to do something new (eating healthier; finding new ways to calm and de-stress; discovering shared activities that appeal to you and your family). "--Erika Andersen, Forbes
  • Learn something for 100 days
    • Karen Cheng learned to danced for 100 days (well 365 days)

I believe what makes her story more motivational for the rest of us is this is part of who she is, her happiness is "getting better at skills."  After watching the video, the more I learn about her and how awesome, creative, and smart she is, the more I'm inspired. She is not afraid to fail, she likes to try different things etc..because it's a continuous pattern of who she is as an individual. Feel free to check out her blog (love her post "discipline is overrated") and support her current project/startup Give it 100 Thank you Karen!

What habits will you change this year?

Create a relationship that encourages openness

Is it easier to be consumed in the life I want to live and and not pay attention to the life I have, especially to those who are most close to me. The balance between the external and internal worlds we balance and manage on a daily basis can overshadow how life moves swiftly and quickly through the lives of our loved ones. If I could go back a few years ago or 10 years ago, I would wish I'd take more time to be myself and to build a relationship of openness and encouragement. It's crazy how we can share our deepest fears and our entire worlds with friends, yet, within our own family, we are so afraid to share those secrets. Share your secrets and fears with your family, regardless of the situation, they will be there for you.

First day testing out Canon EOS M6 (with 11-22m lens)

We are beginners of photography, but since I am working to build/start my YouTube channel, I invested in the Canon EOS M6 camera recently. I still have my Nikon T3 from years ago, but I never put in the time and effort to learn how to use it quickly. I feel very excited with our new M6 as it's a greater starter camera for people like myself, who wants videos and photos to be beautiful without a lot of efforts. Over time, I would like to learn more about photography because I love looking at beautiful Instagram profiles and YouTube videos. Who doesn't? :) What do you think about the Canon EOS M6? Are you a fan of Canon, Nikon, Sony, or Fuji? Below is our first Vlog with Olive using the new camera!
