明天就是二月了，2024年已经过去了一个月。
上周我的旅行假期结束了。我回到了多伦多，开始了日常生活。
我开始思考这一年要怎么度过。
我想和你们分享我的新年愿望。评论告诉我，你的新年愿望是什么🤩
Tomorrow is February, and one month has passed in 2024.
My travel vacation came to an end last week. I returned to Toronto and settled into my daily routine.
I started thinking about how I would spend this year.
I want to share my New Year's resolutions with you. Tell me in the comments what your New Year’s resolutions are 🤩
人际关系 Relationship
平日里我远程工作，我渴望更多与人面对面的联结。
• 我想更主动约朋友聚会。
我很想念学生时代和朋友畅聊的日子。
有时候大家都想见面，但都没有主动说。
我想要做那个主动约朋友见面的人，邀请我的朋友们来我家聚会。
I work remotely on weekdays, and I crave more face-to-face connections with people.
• I want to be more proactive in asking friends to meet up.
I miss the days when I was a student and chatted with my friends.
Sometimes everyone wants to meet, but no one takes the initiative to say so.
I want to be the person who takes the initiative to meet up with friends and invites my friends to my house for gatherings.
• 我想加入我的社区活动
我想做志愿者，帮助我的社区，认识更多的人。
这会让我觉得更有归属感，也会让我更开心。
• I want to join my community activities.
I want to volunteer, help my community, and meet more people.
It makes me feel more sense of belonging and makes me happier.
健康 Health
我一直觉得健康是最重要的，可是我一直都没能坚持锻炼。
2024年我想要改变，每周锻炼四次。
我不想逼自己一定要每周去四次健身房。
有时候我也可以在家锻炼，做瑜伽和跳舞。
我想把锻炼变成有趣的事情，这样我才更能坚持下去。
I have always felt that health is the most important thing, but I have never been able to keep exercising.
In 2024 I want to change and exercise four times a week.
I don’t want to force myself to go to the gym four times a week.
Sometimes I can also work out at home, do yoga, and dance.
I want to turn exercise into something fun, so I can stick with it more.
个人追求 Personal Pursuits
30岁之后，我更清楚我想成为什么样的人。
我很开心我坚持做YouTube已经一年半了，可以帮大家学中文。
我很享受创作视频和写这个newsletter的过程。
2024年，我要继续做YouTube和newsletter, 分享给更多的人。
After turning 30, I have a clearer idea of who I want to be.
I am very happy that I have been doing YouTube for a year and a half and can help people learn Chinese.
I really enjoyed the process of creating videos and writing this newsletter.
In 2024, I will continue to do YouTube and newsletter, and share it with more people.
还有我想做数字产品，比如中文词汇手机墙纸，中文故事电子书等等。
我喜欢写作，设计，分享语言和文化。
我可以把这些技能组合起来， 来帮你们学习中文。
Also, I want to make digital products, such as Chinese vocabulary mobile wallpapers, Chinese story e-books, etc.
I love writing, designing, and sharing language and culture.
I can combine these skills to help you learn Chinese.

🤩 HSK1 Phone Wallpaper Giveaway
I’m excited to share with you that HSK1 Chinese vocabulary Phone Wallpaper is available now. Some of you have asked me for these wallpapers and I hope it helps!

Leave a comment below in the next 48 hours. I will randomly select 5 people to send the 150 words HSK1 phone wallpapers.
My 2024 goal is to be a bit more focused. I got a little complacent since being in a relationship (though overall it has been fantastic), so ideally this year I can be more productive and also maintain my wonderful relationship.
I have now more well defined what I want to get done each day and then every week I've been checking how well I've been doing and how I feel. So far January has been a very good month! But it was like this last year.. we'll see if I can keep it up.
For friends, you know that quote "fail early and often?" I think always now think: "invite early and often"
Thanks for your YouTube videos. Hope you have a good year
