In 2022, I'd really like to try to calm down and be more serene.

I think sport is going to help me a lot to be less stressed.

Hello everyone. I'm back today for the first video of the year 2022, and first of all, I'd like to wish you a very happy new year.

I wish you all happiness and many beautiful things.

Today, I'm offering you a video in a slightly more vlog style.

By the way, I'll see you at the foot of my Christmas tree.

I'm keeping it for a few more days because I love the Christmas atmosphere and it's true that it's always hard for me to part with it.

Today, however, we're not going to talk about Christmas, but about good resolutions.

To make sure you understand everything, don't hesitate to activate the English or French subtitles.

I always advise you to put them in French.

It's a bit more difficult, but it'll help you really get to grips with all the new words you'll see in this video.

If I speak too fast, feel free to slow down the video or speed it up if I speak too slowly for your level of French.

I'm asking you now too, so I'm sure you won't forget.

Take the time to put a like, it makes me very happy and it shows me that you like my videos.

I suppose you're familiar with this tradition, this custom of making good resolutions for the coming year.

We tell ourselves that this new year is an opportunity to develop good habits, lose bad ones or become a better person.

Some of the most common resolutions people make include quitting smoking, starting a diet to lose weight, going to the gym, saving a little more money this year, being less spendthrift, being a little more careful with pennies, for example, shopping less.

One of the most common resolutions people make is to give themselves more time for relaxation and well-being.

We could also take the resolution to reduce the time spent in front of screens, in front of our phone, television, tablets.

It's true that today, we spend a lot of time on social networks, we spend a lot of time in front of screens.

Another example of a resolution is to become more eco-responsible.

For example, pay more attention to what you consume, become vegetarian, try to limit your waste.

Eat more organic food.

That's it. I've given you a few examples of good resolutions you can make in the New Year.

In this video, I'll mostly talk about my good resolutions.

So as I was saying, this video is a bit more of a vlog than I'm used to.

So in this video, I'm going to tell you a bit about my resolutions and I'm going to write down the main vocabulary words I use when I speak in the video.

This year, I've made four good resolutions.

The problem with making resolutions is that we're often full of good intentions at the beginning of January, and three weeks later we've pretty much given up.

But this year, I'm really going to try to stick to them, I've chosen four, but they're not very complicated, so I really think I'll manage to stick to them throughout the year.

Before I give you my resolutions, please tell me in the comments if you have made any resolutions for this year, and especially, tell me what your good resolutions are.

My first resolution for this year is to get back into sport.

Before the first confinement, so in March 2020 in France, I was doing some sport, I was doing one hour of dance per week, one hour of yoga class and at home, I was also doing a lot of yoga, almost every day.

I also walked a lot more because when I went to work, I walked from home to the metro, then from the metro to work.

At lunchtime, I'd go and buy some food and come back. So all in all, I walked for about 30 minutes to an hour.

Today, this is no longer the case.

I don't know if you, in your country, telework is generalized.

If you work from home, I find you have much less opportunity to walk, and walking is still a physical activity.

During the first lockdown, I still managed to motivate myself. I was doing yoga on my own at home. I did it almost every day.

But it's true that over the last few months, I've lost motivation.

When you sign up for a course and go, you're motivated because you've paid for it in advance or because you know you're going to meet up with friends at the course. It's true that it's harder to motivate yourself at home.

So this is really part of my 2022 resolutions.

It's really about getting back into more regular exercise, finding the motivation to do yoga again at home at least a little bit every day, and also to go running, even if it's cold, even if sometimes the weather's not great.

I really want to get back into it because I find that when you do sport, you feel better about yourself and a lot more serene.

Let's move on to my second resolution, which is directly related to the first.

My second resolution is to try to be more serene, less stressed, less anxious.

It's true that I'm someone who can quickly become stressed in certain situations, who can quickly become anxious. So, in 2022, I'd really like to try to calm down and be more serene.

I think sport is going to help me a lot to be less stressed.

Maybe also try to spend less time on my phone, on Tik Tok before going to sleep.

Because it's true that it makes you nervous and I really want, in 2022, to become a calmer, more serene person.

My third resolution. What's my third resolution? To read more books.

Once I start a book, get attached to the characters and really get into the story, I love reading.

The problem is that I often don't really have the motivation.

If I have to choose between reading a book or watching a series, I'm going to take the easy way out and watch a series, whereas I find it super important to read and super enriching.

When you read too, you put yourself in a bubble, you spend a calmer moment, and you see, all my resolutions are a bit linked, it also allows you to be more serene.

I'd really like to take some time to read.

I have lots of books that I've been offered, that I've bought, that I've never taken the time to read out of laziness, out of laziness, because I always take the easy way out, rather than watch a film or a series.

So, I'm going to try this year to read at least one book a month.

And finally, my fourth and last resolution. This has more to do with a life project.

I already told you about it in a previous video very quickly, but I quit my job in the fall of 2021.

I left my job in the fall of 2021 because I really wanted to develop my own project, my own business.

My fourth resolution is really to launch my company, my business.

So rather our business, because we would like to launch it with Mathieu that you saw on the Scrabble video.

We really have this common project of launching our business together. I really want our entrepreneurial project, which we're in the process of launching, to become a reality.

That's really my goal for 2022.

Mathieu and I put a lot of energy into it.

I'd really like it to be over by the end of 2022, so that we're well on our way and everything's in place.

We really work full-time for this project, for this company.

I will tell you about our entrepreneurial project in a future video.

I'll tell you more about it, but of course I'll keep some time for Hellofrench.

I'm still making at least two videos a week, don't worry, that's not going to change.

So there you have it, I've shared my four resolutions for this new year.

I hope that you too have great plans for this new year, that you can't wait to get started, and above all that you've made some great resolutions and that you'll manage to keep them throughout the year.

Don't forget to comment with your resolutions and above all, please give me a like.
