This video is precious. I'm not a parent, but I caught myself smiling every time you came to the realization that your daughter is THE goal-setter. She is THE reason for all of your future choices and decisions, and that is beautiful. This video also shows that your journaling exercise actually works since we saw it happen in real-time. 👍

I'm a High School teacher with a new batch of seminar students (we get freshmen and keep them all four years in a seminar hour) and we're definitely using this and your other videos to set and achieve goals this year. The mindset stuff was awesome with my seniors last year. Thanks for the content!

"Setting up a camera! What's next? Terraforming Mars?!?!" I had to pause the video because I fell into a fit of giggles. I struggle with ADHD, and this is my brain about literally everything.

As someone who never had a father who was present--and I am sure there's a lot of people watching this who can relate--your excitement and love for your child is amazing, don't ever feel embarrassed by it. 🖤🤗 Also thank you for these videos.

that must be hard - stay strong and the fact you are watching these videos shows you are on the right path

I’m five months pregnant and genuinely moved by your enthusiasm for your kid. I’m so excited to meet mine and I feel inspired to reframe goals that appear to be in opposition to parenting as in service to parenting!!! So sweet. Thank you!

I was spiralling due to my ADHD and this video is GODSEND! I cannot thank you enough. This "Half Year Reset" journal template is incredible and I cannot wait to fill them up! Love seeing the joy in your eyes as a new parent ☺Keep up the good work!💛

Did you end up doing it?

2 hours and a whole giant Notion journal entry later and I'm FINALLY done with this video. I love the addition of why do you deserve it and your example of "her father deserves it", because it made me also look outside of myself at the person I am from someone else's eyes. That can often be the hardest part to write, so here's mine as an example for anyone else struggling to look outside themselves here: Because I work with more fire than nearly every person I know, and other people I know are not be as dedicated as I am to seeing things through..I deserve to show that same amount of fire and dedication to my own ambitions and goals, not just furthering the ambitions of those around me.

as someone who also can fill up an entire page of racing thoughts and self sabotage, i’m trying really hard to practice the “talk to yourself like you’re a friend or your younger self”. it’s uncomfortable to say good things about myself which is not how it should be and i hope the “why you deserve it” page doesn’t just stay blank

Ooh another fellow Notion user! I listened to this video when it released but I kept putting off doing it. I'm about to sit down and re-evaluate my whole life now. Congrats!

I love your passion for parenting. I've raised two children and currently have five grandchildren and can't imagine life without them. I also loved the video and the handout and will be working through it myself. I could definitely use a reset.

Dude, this was a banger, one of my favourite videos of yours for sure, equally adorable and honest and vulnerable. It was an absolute joy to see you work in real time through your own journalling exercise. I love seeing you grow as a new dad, and the way your content reflect this. It’s really quite fascinating and I can’t wait for your next videos. ❤️✌️

This is one of your best videos yet. Really resonated with me the vulnerability and humility of this. Pretty inspiring stuff. Thank you!

totally agree and think we should reset every 90 days to keep focus - distraction can kill your dreams !

Almost 2 hours later and I'm back here to say thank you. This Video lead to the (probably) longest journaling session in my 22 years so far. I've kinda been on a self-improvement-trip for quite a while now. Some things worked pretty well, while others didn't. But these questions really helped me to start understanding where my problems actually lie and why I keep struggling with the same things. This journaling session gave me a new perspective on things and some potentially gamechangeing ideas for a strategy to solve these problems I couldn't seem to get rid of. It's getting pretty late in my timezone so I better go get some sleep now. And we'll see tomorrow or in week or in half a year, if this Video was actually as gamechanging as I believe right now. But I know it'll help me in some way, even if it was just to give me a new hope and motivation. Thanks for doing this Cam. I always love your videos, I know you say you were kind of in a rut, but honestly your videos this year were some of the most inspiring videos out there. Doesn't matter if it's about running or some litte shape that conquered the world or more 'selfimprovement oriented' like this one. You make so many people's lifes just a little (or sometimes a lot) better. Your daughter is not the only thing you can be proud of ;)

how you feeling about your life now?

Thank you for boldly sharing your shortcomings, thought processes, and typos with honesty, humility, and vulnerability! It was magical to watch you light up and experience the epiphanic reframing of mind about how your goals can help your relationship with your daughter! :)

I’ve been watching your inspirational content for years now, but I have to say that this one struck such a chord with me that I had to comment. The moment was when you had your real-time epiphany about your work and your daughter. Even before you realised it, I was thinking, “Include your little one!” but not in an “on camera” way; rather, in the way you came up with. I love that you realised how you could incorporate both goals. I have 4 children and (from my own experience, anyhow) the most fulfilling times we have had together are when I have found ways to incorporate learning/doing/making experiences. Your daughter is still very little, but yes! you can include her in your exercise routine! I always took such joy in dancing around with my children (still do!) and modelling the joy of movement with them, at all their life stages. They’re 10, 14, 15, and 20 now, but they are all so wonderfully independent in their self-expression and I chalk that up to modelling the same to them and including them in my goals. Every year of life is a wonder and a blessing, but I’ll be honest; I think my favourite part is the first few years (especially after about 6 months) when their own unique personalities start to show. I don’t see them as an extension of me. They are their own unique being, and I feel so much awe at watching them develop into the human they will be. I do hope you will enjoy the journey! There is nothing else that quite compares!! Thank you for all the wonderful content you have gifted the world with. Cheers!

Man, I love your positive attitude despite things never going to plan and the appreciation of that journey. At the same time it's so important to still be reflected about the details. Love this journaling preset. I can normally never convince myself to fill one of those, but I'll give this one a shot.

I love how your eyes sparke when you talk about your daughter! 💖

I have tears in my eyes seeing just how much you love your daughter and how she’s impacting your life so positively just by… existing. You’re an incredible dad. Go you

Campbell man: time and time again I come back to your channel. You are the only self-help channel that I've encountered on KZread that isn't filled with cringe misogynistic garbage and advice that makes you hate yourself. Seeing your honesty and authenticity over your own struggles to stay on top of life whilst also being a hugely successful KZread account and personality in general fills me with inspiration.

Your 'holy shit, man' moment just gave me the exact same 'holy shit man' moment. I've been seeing my work and my kids as opposing forces for 7 years. This changes everything 🤯

Despite you feeling like you've been in a creative rut... Your videos explaining the creative ruts and how you overcome these ruts have been super valuable! Your impact is amazing! I'm so grateful for your videos! I often find my self getting very UNSTUCK from your content! Keep up all the great work ❤🎉

I opened KZread to rewatch your half year reset video - just to find you made a new version of it 😍 I loved the old one, but this one hit differently, thank you for the vulnerability. By the way, I didn't think the slip-up of posting the video a month early made you look like an idiot, it actually made you more relatable and more likable in my eyes.

as someone who has an extremely insecure and confused dad who moved out when I was in 6th grade- it’s thrilling to know there are such good ones like you. So excited for your family! And thank u for another incredible guide

Seriously, an hour ago I was asking myself “How can I use journaling to find my way through this stuck spot?” And lookit! There you are! Thanks, man!

"What's next?! Terraforming mars?!" hahaha. my brain with any minor inconvenience. Thank you for this - wonderful as always!

“Dad” looks great on you! You look the happiest and healthiest I’ve ever seen💚💚💚

Awwww. I came for the motivation but stayed for the cool dad feels. It's true--our kids are depending on us to be our best selves so we don't perpetuate the cycle 🎉

Less than two months ago I gave up on a job offer I was looking for three years in the worst shameful way (not self sabotage, it was kinda like...blaiming a perfectly fine fact I would have accepted to face, so childish and it hurts as hell now). It's my actual biggest life's regret and I am not living this good with its burden. I don't know how to deal with this freak of nature now, but I felt so much pain after realizing I did the wrong choice that it changed completely the way I look at things. For real like never before. That freaking pain (still here) is making me drown in the worst way I have ever experienced, but this time it will be different. Loved this video man. I wish you the best for you and your entire family.

Damn I definitely needed this video. I've had arguably some of the worst 6 months, especially because things didn't turn out how I hoped after graduating college. Things are starting to look up but I've had to seriously reevaluate my goals in real time. I will definitely be taking advantage of the half year reset form this year. Thanks for making what you do :)

The fact the template for this is just freely available (not even a sign up form!!!) Blows my mind 🤯

I love how you kind of did this writing exercise for the first time in front of us instead of recapping one you've already thought through (at least that's the impression I've gotten before). It was nice seeing your reaction to your own good ideas (and if that's not what's going on then you're a hell of an actor 🤘)

I just love your energy...and honesty!

🎉🎉🎉 love this! Thanks for following the votes and making it public!

OMG I love you! First, your whole art vs kids.... That's exactly what I've been feeling since my kids have been home for summer break. And legitimately nothing has gotten done. And second, when you said your kid was the best thing about your life... I could totally hear the emotions welling up and all that love just trying to escape. Welcome to Parenthood!! Turning the coolest of us into giant blubbering messes wearing our emotions on our sleeves! 😂

You’re easily my favourite KZreadr lately, thank you 😊

Nice editing too you’re always funny and charming! Glad you’re finding happiness in fatherhood. Thank you for the resource. ☀️

I’ve definitely been struggling to see the pursuit of my career goals as detrimental to the well being of my family. I guess im afraid it’ll take away my time with them. And I realize that, just like you, I can spin this and just convince myself it can be for their benefit.

I've had by far the most challenging 6 months of my life and this is helps a lot! Thank you Cam, this channel is genuinely my favourite and your book has been life-changing for me 🌻

I feel like I always say this, but thanks for being so honest and sharing your goals and reflections so openly

I'm in my early twenties, fairly fit. Can do a (real) muscle up and pistol squats. Beginning of the year I wanted to run an Ironman. My first time going for a proper long run outside I had an asthma attack and I'm having so much leg pain I'm using my old cane again, which I haven't needed since I started getting daily exercise. I wanted to motivate myself to become even fitter to help combat all the issues with my body, and my body ended up telling me no with a hell of a reality check. Instead of running an Ironman, I've finally decided to go back to the doctors and try to get diagnosed and treated for my chronic pain and joint issues. I'm currently seeing a physio who is actually helping more than I thought and have an appointment booked with a podiatrist for my foot. Started to realise that I can't just grit my teeth through everything in life and a little bit of help can be a huge difference. Who knows, maybe I'll run an Ironman the next time it comes to my city in a few years. Maybe I'll even make it on the podium. Sure as hell won't be doing any of that until I start to take care of myself though

Thank you for this video. As a creator and parent of two, I relate SOOO much. And may have just shared your real-time epiphany 🤯 on the "togetherness" vs. "vs." mindset

struthless, the vulnerability that you show in these videos is absolute gold for people like me. thank you. you are in a creative flow lately making your absolute best content and the energy is so very contagious. keep being an inspiration man!!

3 months ago your marathon video came up on my recommendations, today I ran my first marathon.thank you . I have also had a shit year but I'm counting this as a big win to start the half of the year. I'm grateful

The joy in your face when you talk about your daughter 😍This video was super helpful for getting back on track. thank you!

I love this video and I downloaded the Half Year RESET! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make more videos. This is one of my favorite channels, definitely at the TOP of my list!

Dude this is AWESOME and just what I needed right now. Been feeling lost and like I have no direction so I think this will help me get back on track. It also helps me remember that it’s ok to start this kind of shit any time and I don’t have to feel shameful for not being where I want to be at the moment. I’m so glad you’re back!

You made a vew videos this year, but what you make is super enjoyable and gold. Do not let time or preasure from youtube say otherwise. Its been crazy since 2016 on how much content creators "need" to make resulting in a bunh of trash content. Enjoy yout life and your daughter. Remember you are human en not a robot. Setting low expectations while making goals is the best thing I ever did. I am a very anxious person plus you go trough highs and lows, trough seasons in your life. Defenetly try to find your flow when you are creative. Creating 24/7 does not work for every artist. I tent to create a vew things during my summer vacation when I get to focus on myself have low stress and have some time to explore(about 4 weeks). The rest of the year I do not feel bad for not creating. Cheers and stay cool.

I’m so grateful I found your channel!! I’m taking a social media hiatus for a year & wanted to reflect, self improve & really reach my goals in addition to therapy. This channel has helped me so much!! Thank you ❤

This is amazing Cam.😍 The first six months of 2023 hasn't been the best time in my life and just yesterday I journalled about making the final six months of 2023 a much more productive and uplifting time. I just turned on my laptop to log my gym training and there you were on my KZread feed with just the medicine I needed. You are just so inspiring. Big thanks from NZ.😀

My brain is so primed by your videos that I I could just hear your voice without listening and I would still be motivated (it is a compliment)

I never ever comment on people’s videos but I wanted to let you know I did this last year and I’m keen to do it again. I wanted to thank you because this genuinely made me reevaluate my goals and progress for the year. Between July-December last year, I ended up running a marathon (which I thought I’d never fucking do in my life) and saved up properly to travel to Japan. Thanks again!

What I love about this real time epiphany is that they (work, art and your child) all involve creation! What a masterpiece a tiny human being is. Literally your greatest piece of art to date!

I love that you dance with your daughter! Creating such beautiful core memories for her! Great video! Thank you for the motivation✨

Your single handedly making my life better thankyou for being so honest and open

It's okay to talk enthusiastically about your daughter. I am still on my 20s but I find it fun to look for how next stage of life could be 🥺 So heartwarming

Randomly remembered this video and thought it's time to give it a go considering it's just over halfway through the year! Love your work mate.

Honestly! Y are just a much-needed little light in the universe. Stuff changes, things end, but until then shine bright and know you make a difference to more than just your daughter. Thank you for the joy ❤

Holy shit, man. You just helped me have the same epiphany! All of this time I've been self sabotaging myself over creating new artwork that could sell, exercising, and eating healthier because I try to put more time into spending/taking care of my daughter! But making the time to do these things is beneficial to my daughter because I could help provide for her, and be healthier for her. Obviously I still need to take care of her, but I need to stop making excuses and just start making changes to get these things done! Thank you! Your videos are always so helpful and I love watching them!

This video could not have come at a better time. Glad to hear you plan on making more content! Thanks again!

I feel you on the Dad vibes, Cam! I've also struggled with the "time with kid" and "time being creative" and am having a similar mental renaissance shifting those from "vs" to "together". My little one turned 4 this year, and they are the reason I've been able to sail through some permanent health challenges that cropped up for me a year ago. If I wasn't a Dad I'm sure I would have been super negative and hung up on them for months or more, but instead I'm living through the changes with as little drama as household chores, cause I just want to do the best for them that I can

Aaahh struthless! Always posting right when I need you! I've been fixed on restructuring the trajectory of my life recently and here you are.❤

Omg! It's funny cause my birthday was last month, so it feels to me like the beginning of a new period of time. So I like to do new years resolutions around my birthday. So this is pretty perfectly timed!😁 Love your video and I find myself just watching one over and over. They've been helping me keep motivated in moving forward and staying with my goals! Keep doing this. Your channel has helped me change my life and find purpose and meaning when I felt the most lost. ❤thank you ☺️

This video is ELITE! So many gems in just 9.5 mins. You can really take accountability with these prompts since they're so introspective in nature. Love this type of stuff. Thank you so much for sharing this method!

Your revelation about how your art and child are not in opposition is exactly what I experienced. Once I realized that, I started doing art activities with my daughter while I was practicing my own art. I would teach her enough that she was happy to make something on her own, and I would work next to her and give her guidance- she was only 3 and 4 while I was doing this, but it had a clear positive impact on her.

I'm feeling a major creative block and have so for a while now, so it's really nice that you're not just talking about what can be done, but applying it to your own situation and showing it to us. Very inspiring, thank you!

Loved seeing the positivity loop between old you and now you unfold in this video! Also… I’m just about to start reading your book for time 2nd time. It really helped me the first time around. I keep making connections between my everyday life, my behaviours and the concepts in the book the more I refer back to it.

The way I laughed when you said what’s going to keep me on track after two broken legs, not squats - that was the best laugh I’ve had in a long time!!! 😂 thank you, loved this vid. I loved that you kept in the self-epiphanies as well. ❤ keep up the great work!

You know that little tingle you get when someone says something that resonates with you? Like you're about to cry but it's not that intense? That's how I felt when you had your epiphany about your art time helping your daughter and not opposing it. That's how I've felt about my music since having kids. "I can't focus on music as it will take time away from work and hurt our income". Thank you. I'm going to give myself more time for music as it will help my kids as I'll be happier :)

Your vulnerability in self examination is so valuable as a viewer! I think it removes shame (funnily) enough about being honest with ourselves about what's really holding us back

I laughed out loud repeatedly watching this video. Pairing humor with a potentially daunting task was unexpected and incredibly welcomed. Thanks for this! 💞🤣

So glad I found this video on the actual day!! Struthless always gets me going and motivated

Bearded bold love from another daughter's polish dad. Keep the good work going! You're the best!

thank youu for this video, it's so good to see something like this! it's amazing to see a real person doing real things for improvement. i really feel motivated to work on my own personal journey :) hugs from Brazil!

Campbell, you are just oozing relaxed and inspired in this one. I've been loving your pivot in content in recent months but I also genuinely loved how chilled and laid back this was. I know the editing is always a good amount of work, and that its not just pressing record and boom you're done - but I guess I just love the unpolished delivery as much as the polished, because you always delivery on quality info and advice, no matter how its packaged. Nice one, dude!

man, your videos always make me grin, even when you're sharing Hard Troofs and challenging us to do it ourselves too. thank you heaps, have a great dance session! time for me to get out of this sunday funk and do a reset.

Cam, I love the way you brought this back from two years ago. Sometimes I feel as though I always need to be moving forward. That's not true, sometimes reflection is the name of the health game!

This was so likeable and honest… i feel so connected to you through this video!!!! Nice job, SO proud of you and your work!!!!!!!

Good luck on the move man. I've a 3 and 5 year old and feel that togetherness. Sometimes my kids come into the studio and we paint together. Just enjoy your kid and accept that love. It fills you up.

Thanks for this, what a great tool! It's so wonderful to hear you talk about your daughter. May God bless you and your family :)

how much you love your baby is the best thing for her too, it will set her up for so much happiness. lucky kid!!!

As someone whose life has fallen apart in the last 6 months: changed jobs, ended a relationship, just moved, and therefore have completely neglected my goals and systems for months... This is perfect! Thank you for sharing! Im genuinely excited about whats next for me but I haven't known how to start to re-engage with my goals and values. ❤

I just want you to know that I've watched all of your videos and have shaped my life in the best direction possible. You've helped me realize that I am a wonderful human being who deserves happiness and love. I've rediscovered my creative self and have put myself back onto the path of creating, smiling, and loving. If there is ever a day that you feel down, please come back to this message or any of the countless messages on your videos who remind you all those that you have inspired, helped all those who were lost be found, and show that anything is possible. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I, and everyone else, wish you the best and cannot wait to see the next Struthless creation.

I used this last year and plan on using it this year. Especially since its around the beginning of my son's summer break from school. It's difficult to accomplish much without some sort of structure. He wants to get involved with some of my goals and we're brainstorming how to synergize what we want to accomplish. So, thank you!

I don't have kids but I most definitely want to live in a world with parents who love their kids. Not corny at all.

I love this video SO MUCH. your realization that it's not vs it's together was so lovely to watch.

You seem like such an amazing person, honestly. Thank you so much for these videos, they're truly the best resource I've found for pulling my mental health back together. Seems like you're flourishing as a dad, it's so nice to see!! ❤❤❤

ur so wholesome man, i love watching this new era of new dads bc you are all super cute, gives me faith in the next gen of kids having loving dads

I love the fact that you think you’re not doing well yet you have almost a million subscribers??. Yeah nah! I love your channel! Fun, authentic, realistic and humble. keep it up!

I loved hanging out with my Dad in his studio growing up! I hope your daughter gets to experience that too!

Thanks! I really needed this today as the winter bleghness is fully setting in.

Thank you so much for being real about your productivity struggles. Your funny honesty is so refreshing.

Thank you so much for this! I've been feeling very lost and discouraged lately, so this really showed up at the perfect time!

I did it all!! I've been writing for an hour 😁😁

I was genuinely feeling like such garbage these past few days and just completed this exercise. I'm already feeling better and hope to use this momentum for the next 6 months. This video genuinely could not be more perfect timing.

Perfect timing for me actually. Just telling my hubby we need to do this

Super helpful man! I'm gonna plug this into my current journaling for sure. Fully relate to the dad vibes too. My daughter is the greatest thing in my world! Hope your next 6 months are wonderful for you all bro 🤘

I love your honesty and am grateful for seeing this today. (Don't care that it's a few days later than the half year mark). Downloading and doing journalling now. Thank you 😊 And glad you are enjoying being a Dad. So precious!!

This has nothing to do with the video but I just finished reading your book "Your Head is a Houseboat" and I felt so held and so seen, I was on the verge of tears (happy tears). It is amazing how you managed to approach the reader with so much love and compassion - I am really out of words to describe the feeling that the book gave me; all I can say is that it feels like being hugged and held mentally. You must have a giant heart full of love, Struthless, and I am so thankful for you sharing that love with everyone in the world through your art and the content you create.

I’m so inspired about how raw and open you are in this video! Thank you ❤

Your videos genuinely make me so happy. Thank you

Omg I would love more of these short videos, as I need more journaling prompts. I usually do free journaling/dumping but this was so helpful! Funny that you mention shame as I’ve been working with a career coach about resistance I’ve been hitting and I think similarly after journaling this morning part of it is shame. I come from a lower class, blue collar home and now that I’ve gotten out of that it’s like I’m still connected to that and detached from my current life. Shame is a lot to work through man and I hate it so much.

Loved this video! I printed two copies of the journal - one for me and one for my teen daughter. Thank you!
