I used to think that I needed this total life reset at the beginning of every year.

I would completely rebrand myself, instill this fear that I needed to change everything about me, but I realized that it's really just about being myself,

but being more consistent and doing the things that I've always said I would, and just showing up for myself more.

So this year's reset is very realistic.

Grocery shopping, cleaning errands, just all the things that'll make me feel prepared and lighter going into the new year.

Hi guys.

The first thing I'm going to do is head to the grocery store.

I need some fresh groceries and I want to cook a nice healthy dinner tonight too.

And the first thing that I always do whenever I'm like overwhelmed

or I need a reset in my life is I cook myself good food.

I wish you could have seen my fridge because I was desperately in need of fresh groceries.

So I walked around Whole Foods with the list, picked up everything on there including ingredients for chili and I did also grab some fresh flowers.

The groceries are acquired.

I did Uber because the last time that I decided to walk I ended up like throwing out my shoulder.

It's like it's kind of embarrassing.

This time I was not going to take any risks so oh the bag just ripped.

The majority of the stuff that I got was stuff for my dinner for chili tonight.

So I'm gonna go through my fridge.

I need to do like a fridge clean out.

This is a once every couple weeks activity for me.

I'm gonna get rid of the old stuff, put the new groceries in.

And I also got these beautiful flowers.

I love them.

I am gonna try to like arrange these in a little bit as well.

Buying yourself flowers, I've said it before, but I feel like it is weirdly empowering.

Like you don't need to wait for someone else to buy them for you.

You can do it for yourself.

And it just is like one of those physical acts of self-love that I think is so important.

You deserve flowers, so go get them for yourself.

So I'm on a bit of a roll.

I just went through my fridge.

It looks so much better.

For me, motivation doesn't come from sitting and trying to muster it up within myself.

What I've read from some psychology books and podcasts is that you need to start things, doing things, productive things, errands, like whatever you're dreading.

Once you start seeing the satisfaction of getting like even the

littlest thing done in two minutes is what gives you more motivation.

It's kind of like a compounded effect.

So I do notice that within myself, like even just quickly cleaning my fridge.

Now I'm like so motivated to just get some more cleaning done.

So before the rest of my errands that I have to do, I'm gonna do a little bit of cleaning around the house.

I never thought this would happen to me

but I ended up developing a habit to fully clean my

kitchen every night before I go to bed including loading the dishes

so that way in the morning when I wake up the dishes are already washed.

Something little like this really sets my day up for success so that's what I was doing.

I was just unloading my dishwasher and then I decided to put together my little bouquet of flowers.

I also wanted to surprise my roommate with them.

It's just like a nice little thing for both of us.

One of my newfound hobbies as I've gotten older has been flower arranging.

I didn't know how much thought went into it and how it's kind of like an art in itself.

This is very basic.

Please don't look too closely.

Well, I'm going to show you because I think it's cute.

Love.

I love, love, love putting together little bouquets.

It's so fun and there is such like an art to it.

It's just something that I never really knew about until I started to learn about it.

My mom has always love gardening and she was the one

that kind of got me introduced and I find it very oddly therapeutic.

Putting together flower arrangements I just like really calms me down.

So this one today is pretty basic.

It was kind of already done for me so I kind of cheated at Whole Foods.

They had a little bouquet made and then I just added some baby's breath.

Baby's breath is just such a good hack you know.

You can add it to pretty much anything and it'll make it look 10 times better.

So later i'm gonna come back and finish cleaning

but for now I'm gonna run to do a couple errands

that i've been honestly putting off prepping for the new year

and resetting Really is like a lot of just adulting stuff boring stuff like this

But I try to make it as fun as I possibly can

and I do love like kind of restarting and like refreshing

and getting my life together It makes me feel so much better.

I'm gonna get coffee first because that's like what makes it Fun

okay guys i'm vlogging in public one of my goals for 2026 is to get better at this

so exposure therapy i think i say this every year

that this is my goal it just doesn't get easier i found this coffee shop that's pretty close to me

and i don't know how i haven't found it yet till

now that's what i love about new york is there's

so many spots that you can just like stumble into that you've never even seen before.

Before I start my errands I got this iced latte.

You know the struggle of an iced or hot drink in the winter.

I used to usually prevails for me regardless.

There's just something on an iced latte that tastes so much better than a hot latte.

Anyways this really has nothing to do with resetting for the new year except that I just wanted a coffee. So cheers!

I Really like these little clothing drop-off spots for donations.

They're so convenient I think it's such a great idea

So I dropped off some of my clothes in there

and then I also stopped at Target I needed trash bags kind of anticlimactic.

All right guys, I'm back home I'm feeling honestly a little bit over caffeinated.

I finished my errands.

I'm gonna do a deep clean I have some stuff that I want to show you guys Guys, of course, adulting things like errands that I just did and cleaning my apartment are all important,

but the most important by far to me is taking care of my mental health.

I don't have therapy today, but I am in therapy once a week

and it is a part of my routine or reset that I will never ever stray away from.

So I'm really excited to be partnering with Grow Therapy because therapy has helped me so much personally,

even with small things like managing stress or growing into myself after post-grad, like navigating life.

Grow therapy is making mental health care way more accessible and easier to navigate.

Being the last minute person, I like that you can book it in as little as two days.

They also have late night availability and weekend availability if you're busy like me.

100

You can also do virtual or in-person sessions.

101

And there's no commitment or subscription.

102

You just pay per session.

103

I think it's really important to be able to pick a provider or therapist that fits you.

104

I'd like that you can do that with them.

105

They actually have it all laid out so you can see their credentials, their bio upfront.

106

They really prioritize helping independent therapists run their own private practices.

107

Therapy has always been important to me.

108

It always will be.

109

And if it's something that you are considering maybe getting back into or trying for the first time, I'll put a QR code on the screen that you can scan,

110

or you can use my code growtherapy.co slash Sydney Serena to get therapy that fits you.

111

Now I'm going to clean my room.

112

I've noticed about myself that I can't focus as well if my space is a mess, which really isn't like a revolutionary thought.

113

There is science behind this.

114

I've researched it.

115

So I just want to clean my room.

116

I think it needs it.

117

And I'm also going to do some laundry

118

because I have been procrastinating my laundry

119

so badly to the point where my laundry basket is overflowing and I have no clothes to wear because they're all dirty.

120

I feel so lucky because no longer do I have to go to the laundromat.

121

I have laundry in my building not my apartment unit but on the second floor.

122

So yeah I just went down did some laundry.

123

It was actually pretty slow in there today.

124

All right guys my laundry is in.

125

I will never get over the luxury that I can do multiple loads at once.

126

I have four loads in right now.

127

Just makes it go by so much faster.

128

I'm gonna do some more cleaning and then come back.

129

I came back

130

and I decided to just tackle the big scary stack of bills that's been staring at me for weeks now.

131

I feel like you can romanticize a lot of things but bills is just not one of them.

132

But I did knock them out of the way which made me feel so much better.

133

If you've watched my new year reset videos in the past you know I love a good vision board.

134

I do one every year and the last one I did last year actually came true.

135

I did a physical board actually.

136

I had like a bulletin board.

137

I vlogged it.

138

I put on photos of like dream brands that I wanted to work with that year.

139

Things that inspired me

140

and one of the brands I ended up working with actually

141

I think three of the brands I ended up working with

142

I just love a good vision board I'm always gonna love them they are

143

so fun to make too and there is psychology behind it

144

because you're constantly seeing it

145

and it just kind of puts it in the back of

146

your mind I'm not a professional anyways I decided this year

147

instead of doing a physical board I wanted to do one on my laptop

148

because I wanted to make it my wallpaper I figured

149

that that's something that I'm gonna see like every day

150

when I open my laptop so I researched it a little bit and I'm in Canva.

151

I just pulled up like a desktop wallpaper template about four years ago when I was in college.

152

I made my vision board for the year

153

and I put in photos of literally this exact skyline of me wanting to move to New York

154

and have my own apartment and now I'm here and it's just so crazy and I'm so grateful and blessed for it.

155

Anyways, I'm going to scroll on Pinterest for about probably two hours. so can you tell i'm

156

so excited to make my chili i'm about to make my

157

famous healthy chili it's not my recipe i shouldn't be taking

158

credit i found this online this is such a good chili The recipe, it's so healthy, makes me feel good in the winter.

159

And I think the biggest thing I had a challenge with growing up

160

and adulting and being responsible was cooking my own meals.

161

I used to be queen of the microwave meal, as much as I hate to admit it.

162

Three meals a day sometimes were microwave meals and then I was like you know what this has to stop.

163

This is not good for me.

164

I also just I want to feel better.

165

I want to take care of myself and I've kind of just like forced myself to cook more.

166

Since doing that I've found somehow I've found some enjoyment in it

167

which for me you guys know is pretty shocking and I find it kind of like therapeutic too.

168

It kind of grounds me.

169

Anyways, I'm gonna make dinner for my roommate Olivia and I tonight.

170

We kind of switch off with dinners, which is so nice.

171

It always is like hard cooking for one person.

172

Um, oh, why is this dirty?

173

Ew.

174

I'm a big crock pot girl, okay?

175

And this is a crock pot recipe.

176

It doesn't have to be, but for me, it makes it a lot easier.

177

So my mom bought me this crock pot.

178

I never thought I'd use it, and now I use it at least three times a week.

179

So thank you, mom.

180

It's pretty simple.

181

I think I've actually made this on here with you guys before, so we're just gonna get to cooking.

182

Unfortunately, they didn't have the pre-chopped onion at Whole Foods today, which was tragic.

183

That's my biggest shortcut, so I may shed a few tears.

184

Welcome to the first ever episode of Cooking with Sid.

185

I'm kidding.

186

All right, the first thing I did was chop up an onion painfully.

187

You know, I did cry a little bit.

188

Then I went in and I chopped up some red peppers.

189

It called for one

190

but i put two in i love a good red bell

191

pepper by the way i'm gonna put this whole recipe in the description

192

because you need to make this i sauteed the onion pepper

193

and i also chopped up some garlic once

194

that was done sauteing i put it in the crock pot

195

stay with me i threw in some of the crushed tomatoes this brand from whole foods is

196

so good they're probably the most important part of this

197

and then i also threw in these kidney beans i added a couple of cans of those

198

and then I added some corn.

199

I don't really like canned corn, but it was all I could work with.

200

I threw the rest of that in the crock pot.

201

And then I started working on my ground chicken.

202

I prefer ground chicken.

203

You can do anything.

204

I added the spices in there.

205

I added that to the crock pot along with some chicken broth, mixed it all together, and that was it.

206

Okay guys, my favorite part about being an adult is dinner and watching a show.

207

The chili is almost done.

208

It's just finishing cooking.

209

My roommate, Olivia, and I are going to eat together.

210

We love eating on the couch and we can.

211

Why wouldn't we eat on the couch?

212

I think we're going to watch the Kardashians because love is blind.

213

I think I watched every season in the span of a month.

214

So I have nothing left.

215

So I have our little setup.

216

This is dinner.

217

I put some chives on top.

218

So I always like some chives on my chili.

219

We have chips and we're ready to watch.

220

Looking back at this, I wish I was in this moment again

221

because I was eating my favorite meal with one of my best friends.

222

We were watching great reality TV.

223

It was just perfect.

224

So I hope that this maybe inspires you to not take going into the new year too seriously.

225

Don't get me wrong.

226

It's great to have goals and ambitions and excitement going to the new year.

227

But just don't go overboard like me.

228

In the past, I feel like I just completely need to change everything about me and that's just like not the case.

229

Use the new year to inspire you to just be the

230

better version of yourself without feeling like you need to completely change and rebrand because you really don't need that.

231

You're amazing as you are.

232

Love you guys.

233

Thanks so much for watching and I'll see you in my next vlog.

234

Bye.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
