Full transcript

1. 0:01Wake up call. The best version of
2. 0:04yourself is on the other side of
3. 0:05discipline. If you eat, breathe, and
4. 0:07live the routine [music] of your ideal
5. 0:08self, everything will fall into place. A
6. 0:10routine builds discipline, but it
7. 0:11doesn't have to be so hard. Let me show
8. 0:13you how I do it. Good morning, everyone.
9. 0:15It is 8:30. We are going to go for a
10. 0:18walk around the park. And yeah, we'll
11. 0:20get our day started.
12. 0:22If you have trouble starting a routine,
13. 0:24I recommend starting your day with two
14. 0:25to three non-negotiables that make you
15. 0:27feel good. For me, these things are
16. 0:29doing my skin care stuff so the skin is
17. 0:30glowing, being active to get my brain
18. 0:33working, and making myself [music] a
19. 0:35coffee because I love caffeine.
20. 0:43These days I have been really enjoying a
21. 0:45morning walk or a morning run / gym
22. 0:49just because it helps me wake up and
23. 0:51also not check my phone immediately in
24. 0:54the morning. I have been really bad at
25. 0:57doing that and I've been checking my
26. 0:59phone every morning ever since one of my
27. 1:01videos popped off. It was just like I
28. 1:03just felt the urge to check my apps all
29. 1:05the time and I was getting so frustrated
30. 1:08because I hated doing that. Like I could
31. 1:10feel my brain rotting. So, it's been
32. 1:12good to just delete the apps off of my
33. 1:15phone and immediately go straight on a
34. 1:17walk or run or gym. Today I'm walking
35. 1:20because yesterday I ran in the evening
36. 1:22and gymmed so my body's a little bit
37. 1:24sore.
38. 1:25So, a walk will do. So, yeah. I'm loving
39. 1:28how I'm getting my day started these
40. 1:29days.
41. 1:30And I love this park so much because
42. 1:32it's just so peaceful and quiet and I
43. 1:36love coming here in the mornings.
44. 1:38It's like really meditative.
45. 1:42I feel so zen here.
46. 1:45Let's continue our walk.
47. 1:52I'm making myself an
48. 1:53>> [music]
49. 1:54>> orange
50. 1:55coffee.
51. 2:12>> Ooh, so yummy.
52. 2:26This is Numbuzin's vitamin C [music]
53. 2:29cream. Oh my god, it is so nasty. Sorry.
54. 2:33Sorry.
55. 2:38Trying to clear up my acne scar right
56. 2:41here and here. So,
57. 2:44vitamin C is really good for that.
58. 2:47I'm going to do my makeup and then come
59. 2:48right back.
60. 3:07Ooh, I'm done with my makeup. I went for
61. 3:11something
62. 3:12super minimal, skin-like, clean
63. 3:18everyday girl type of makeup. I'm going
64. 3:20to go get changed and yeah.
65. 3:38Mhm.
66. 3:56>> Courtesy of mother.
67. 4:06Oh, it's busting.
68. 4:11Oh my god, it's delicious.
69. 4:14This is so good.
70. 4:39Welcome to my lock-in routine, you guys.
71. 4:41I wanted to show you guys my daily
72. 4:42routine to show you guys how I stay on
73. 4:44track with my goals and um become the
74. 4:47best version of myself in these last 4
75. 4:49months of 2026. In this video, I wanted
76. 4:52to talk about my goals, what I'm doing
77. 4:54to get there, and my routine, aka my
78. 4:57system to achieve my goals. So, yeah,
79. 4:58this is going to be an authentic journey
80. 5:01building from the ground up. We're
81. 5:03starting right here in my parents'
82. 5:05house. And I am in the business of
83. 5:08getting more aggressive with the life
84. 5:10that I want. So, if that sounds like you
85. 5:12and you want to chase the bag, you want
86. 5:14to chase your dreams, you want to chase
87. 5:15your goals, stick around and consider
88. 5:18subscribing because the journey is going
89. 5:20to be extremely legit. I'm thinking of
90. 5:22making this a series so that I could
91. 5:23have some sort of recurring motivation
92. 5:26for me and you guys um just to bring you
93. 5:28guys along on my journey and we can keep
94. 5:30each other accountable. So, yeah, I also
95. 5:32want to build more of a community of
96. 5:34like-minded people and share more of my
97. 5:37thoughts on how I'm navigating my 20s um
98. 5:40in all aspects like friendship, social,
99. 5:42physical, career,
100. 5:44um living frugally and mindfully while
101. 5:46still trying to get the bag. I also want
102. 5:48to talk about, of course,
103. 5:50self-improvement and growth and the
104. 5:52journey to maybe becoming a full-time
105. 5:55content creator. I don't know. I'm not
106. 5:57sure where this series, if I even do
107. 6:00make this a series, will go, but I'm
108. 6:01thinking of posting this twice a month.
109. 6:05I don't know. You guys tell me if you
110. 6:06guys like it or not. If you guys end up
111. 6:09liking this style, let me know. If you
112. 6:11guys hate me and you guys want to see me
113. 6:13flop, then just say it. Just say so.
114. 6:16It's okay, you guys won't hurt my
115. 6:17feelings. But, um I'll see where this
116. 6:19goes. So, yeah, currently I am not
117. 6:21working. I am in between jobs right now
118. 6:24and I'm applying for jobs. And so, I
119. 6:26wanted to take the time to invest in
120. 6:29YouTube and my content and see where
121. 6:32this will take me. I've always been a
122. 6:34creative person and I've always felt
123. 6:37this tug to be creative and to share
124. 6:41more of what is going inside my head,
125. 6:43but I've always thought that I should
126. 6:45take the safe route and to, you know,
127. 6:47pursue a corporate career. And that's
128. 6:50just like what everybody in my community
129. 6:52is doing. So, yeah, it's just really
130. 6:54easy to be pulled into the river of
131. 6:58normalcy and and just to do what
132. 7:01everyone else is doing. But, yeah, I
133. 7:03feel like I want to give myself 4 months
134. 7:05to go all in on this and to really have
135. 7:09fun with it because I'm enjoying this so
136. 7:11much right now. And if it doesn't work
137. 7:13out, I return to the corporate life and
138. 7:15uh I got to pay rent. So, it is what it
139. 7:17is. So, yeah, this is really a lock-in
140. 7:19period for me. I feel like I'm gambling
141. 7:22on myself. I've always wanted to try
142. 7:24this out for so long and now I finally
143. 7:25have the time to do it. So, I think I
144. 7:27would regret it if I didn't give it a
145. 7:29shot. So, here we are. Okay, so, let's
146. 7:32talk about my goals. So, for these last
147. 7:354 months, I'm focusing on three to four
148. 7:38areas. I'm not trying to spread myself
149. 7:41out thin. I really want to focus and
150. 7:44hone in. And so, the first one is
151. 7:46career, and I want to hit 10,000
152. 7:49subscribers on YouTube. Right now, thank
153. 7:51you everybody, we are at 4K. That is
154. 7:53just so insane to me. The amount of
155. 7:56growth that happened within the last 2
156. 7:58weeks is I think I gained like 2, 3,000
157. 8:01subscribers, which is
158. 8:03absolutely insane. I am going to keep
159. 8:05being delusional, and I'm going to make
160. 8:07it a goal to hit 10K by the end of the
161. 8:09year. My other goal under career is to
162. 8:11make 100K. Guys, I know that sounds
163. 8:14crazy. I know that sounds crazy. In 4
164. 8:16months, how am I going to do it? I'm
165. 8:17not. Hear me out. I want to make 100K
166. 8:20over the course of my content career in
167. 8:24like a year. I think in a year I would
168. 8:26be able to do it, but in these 4 months,
169. 8:28I want to see if I can make progress
170. 8:31towards that 100K first. So, the actual
171. 8:34goal is to make at least 20K in these
172. 8:37next 4 months, and if I can do that,
173. 8:39then I will take it as a sign to keep on
174. 8:42going, and to continue going all in on
175. 8:45content creation. Because if I'm able to
176. 8:47make money from this, god, like that
177. 8:50would be absolutely insane. So, if I can
178. 8:52at least make 20K, we're sending it.
179. 8:56We're sending it. The other goal I have
180. 8:57under career is to become a hot girl on
181. 9:00Instagram and hit 10K as well. Yeah, we
182. 9:03are locking in on all facets of social
183. 9:05media content creation, blah blah blah.
184. 9:07And yeah, we're going to do it. We're
185. 9:08going to do it. So, those are my goals
186. 9:10under career. The other category I
187. 9:11wanted to focus on for the next 4 months
188. 9:14is health and physical. So, I want to
189. 9:16run 8 to 10K consistently, and at some
190. 9:19point I want to hit 15K. I have always
191. 9:22thought, ever since I turned like 24 or
192. 9:24something, I was like, I want to run a
193. 9:26half marathon. I want to maybe run a
194. 9:28marathon and see. It's like that
195. 9:30quarter-life marathon itch that
196. 9:32everybody gets. And yeah, I'm itchy. So,
197. 9:35I am itching for a half marathon. I love
198. 9:39running. I think I'm just not
199. 9:41focused enough on running to continue
200. 9:45running at a sustainable pace and to
201. 9:48grow at a sustainable pace. I keep on
202. 9:50like dropping the ball cuz I I travel
203. 9:52and then I lose the running streak, but
204. 9:55these last 4 months, I'm going to do it.
205. 9:57I'm going to run consistently and I'm
206. 9:59going to hit that 15K. If I can do that,
207. 10:01then I can do the half marathon next
208. 10:03year. Don't know which half marathon.
209. 10:05We'll see. The other thing under health
210. 10:06and physical is to eat home-cooked meals
211. 10:08more. I ate out so much during the
212. 10:11summer and also because I was just
213. 10:13traveling. I was just not eating
214. 10:15home-cooked meals and girl, you saw my
215. 10:17meal earlier. How delicious was that? It
216. 10:19was so cozy, so warm, and so comforting,
217. 10:23so clean. Like it just fueled me right
218. 10:25up. So, yeah, I do want to eat
219. 10:26home-cooked meals more and the good
220. 10:28thing about living with my parents is
221. 10:30that my mom makes delicious homemade
222. 10:32food and she just she just eats it right
223. 10:35up. She knows she knows what to do and
224. 10:38she will slay every time. I do want to
225. 10:40eat home-cooked meals more and obviously
226. 10:43try and cook a little bit more. Like I'm
227. 10:46not a cook, but I will try where I can.
228. 10:48And I think
229. 10:50that's the part that matters. Another
230. 10:52category I have is mental. So, I do want
231. 10:55to finish 20 books by the end of the
232. 10:58year. It was my yearly goal actually to
233. 11:01read 20 books and finish 20 books by the
234. 11:03end of the year. And right now, I think
235. 11:06I have eight books under my belt. So, I
236. 11:10am I'm really on a reading grind right
237. 11:12now. Like I'm reading five books in my
238. 11:15roster right now and that's so crazy.
239. 11:16And I'm like reading a chapter here, a
240. 11:19chapter there, uh a few pages here and
241. 11:21it's so fun. I used to only read one
242. 11:24book at a time. I don't know. Something
243. 11:26just compelled me to start reading
244. 11:27multiple books at the same time because
245. 11:29it just looks all so interesting. So, I
246. 11:32am yeah, now I have a a roster and um
247. 11:35I'm cycling through my roster, guys.
248. 11:36Like it is fun. I am a book hoe right
249. 11:39now. Like I am hoeing around and I love
250. 11:42it. It's so fun. So yeah, I'm reading
251. 11:45Yesteryear right now. I snatched this up
252. 11:47at the library. I I came in just on a
253. 11:49whim just on a Thursday
254. 11:51afternoon. I saw it and I was like
255. 11:54the How how did they have
256. 11:56Yesteryear? This is a hot book right
257. 11:57now. Some Some worm was going to snatch
258. 12:00it right up if I didn't. So I I took it.
259. 12:02I
260. 12:03I snatched that. I have a 7-day period
261. 12:05before I have to return it even though I
262. 12:07have four other books that I'm reading
263. 12:09right now. I'm just going to try and
264. 12:10quickly get through Yesteryear this book
265. 12:13because everybody's just raving about it
266. 12:15on Bookstagram. So yeah, I just I just
267. 12:17need to know what is what is up. And so
268. 12:20far, so freaking good. It's amazing. I
269. 12:23love it. I see what the hype is about
270. 12:24and yeah, it's actually funny, like I
271. 12:26usually don't find humor in books or
272. 12:29like other people say it's funny, but it
273. 12:30doesn't read. It doesn't like come
274. 12:32across as funny to me, but this book is
275. 12:34funny. Like it's actually highly
276. 12:36recommend so far. I will let you guys
277. 12:37know when I finish it. Anyways, book
278. 12:39rave over. The other thing under my
279. 12:41mental category is I want to finish my
280. 12:43Sudoku book. So I started my Sudoku
281. 12:46hobby last year and I was grinding the
282. 12:49Sudoku book every single night. Not in
283. 12:53that way, but you know what I mean. And
284. 12:55I was I was killing it. Like I was
285. 12:58getting through the pages. So I think I
286. 13:00somewhere along the summer I kind of
287. 13:01dropped it because it was just so hard
288. 13:02to have like a slow chill hobby to do
289. 13:05every night. But now that we're entering
290. 13:07fall again, I think this is the perfect
291. 13:09time to slot in the Sudoku. Get my
292. 13:12mental going. Practice the numbers.
293. 13:14Okay, and my last category is creative.
294. 13:16So I do want to be a better editor on
295. 13:20YouTube and make my videos more
296. 13:23aesthetically interesting.
297. 13:26Yeah, I just have like so many things
298. 13:28like going on in my brain that editing
299. 13:30to sometimes feels overwhelming to me,
300. 13:32but I really do love the art of editing
301. 13:35and I want to learn how to color grade
302. 13:36my videos. I want to learn how to film
303. 13:38better, blah blah blah blah blah, like
304. 13:39all of that aesthetic stuff that goes
305. 13:41into video I want to be better at. And I
306. 13:44want to be more expressive through
307. 13:46fashion and art, like I really just want
308. 13:49to be more artistic and I don't know how
309. 13:52I'm going to do that, but we're going to
310. 13:54do it. We're going to do it. We're going
311. 13:55to find a way to do it. And that's what
312. 13:56this series is for. We're going to
313. 13:58figure it out along the way. And yeah,
314. 14:01so those are my goals. We're literally
315. 14:04manifesting it because I have now put it
316. 14:06out to the public. And we're not going
317. 14:09to flop. We're not going to flop. We're
318. 14:11going to be here and we're going to turn
319. 14:13it out. So, if that sounds like
320. 14:14something you're interested in following
321. 14:16along, consider subscribing. Let me know
322. 14:18what you think what what you think of
323. 14:21this series and yeah, now I got to do
324. 14:24some work. So,
325. 14:26let's get let's get working.
326. 14:41Hey guys, I'm taking a bit of a break
327. 14:42right now and I wanted to talk a little
328. 14:44bit of how I'm going to achieve my goals
329. 14:46and what I'm going to do to get there.
330. 14:48So, so the number one thing that I'm
331. 14:50going to do to make sure I achieve my
332. 14:52goals is consistency. As long as I keep
333. 14:55on showing up for myself and putting in
334. 14:57the work, I don't see how I could fail.
335. 15:01Like that concept is just foreign to me.
336. 15:04I don't know how I wouldn't be able to
337. 15:07achieve my goals if I'm consistent. And
338. 15:10if I continue to try and explore and
339. 15:13experiment and continue putting myself
340. 15:15out there, I really don't see a way to
341. 15:18fail. I really don't see how I'm not
342. 15:20going to achieve my goals. So, setting a
343. 15:22routine is really important to me
344. 15:23because it means that I'm doing the same
345. 15:26things every day. I am consistently
346. 15:29putting in the work, putting in the
347. 15:31reps, building up my discipline, and
348. 15:34really making sure that I'm getting
349. 15:36better over time. And that's what a
350. 15:39routine means to me, and that's what
351. 15:41consistency means to me. And so, to make
352. 15:44sure I'm consistent, I just got to
353. 15:45follow my routine. So, yeah, I'm really
354. 15:47keen on sharing the behind the scenes of
355. 15:50how I'm going to do this and how I'm
356. 15:52going to stay consistent. I also want to
357. 15:55share my ideas of what I want to do to
358. 15:57achieve my goals and also show you guys
359. 16:00behind the scenes of what it's like to
360. 16:02try and become a full-time content
361. 16:03creator. So, it's it's going to be an
362. 16:05interesting journey, and I hope you guys
363. 16:08enjoy, and I hope this video was helpful
364. 16:10to you guys. And I'm going to end the
365. 16:12video here. So, I'll see you guys in the
366. 16:14next one. Bye. Thanks for watching.
