0:00:00.840,0:00:04.130
- Hey everybody, it's one[br]of those old style videos

0:00:04.130,0:00:05.910
that you all say you miss so much.

0:00:05.910,0:00:08.073
Coffee and a chat with Katy, ding.

0:00:11.220,0:00:14.100
Now today's video is really[br]just gonna be me catching you up

0:00:14.100,0:00:15.685
kind of on what's happening with me

0:00:15.685,0:00:17.423
and what's been going on.

0:00:18.850,0:00:22.558
It's been a busy year, I wrote a book,

0:00:22.558,0:00:25.290
I have never missed an upload[br]date and I've been uploading

0:00:25.290,0:00:28.236
two videos a week for a whole[br]year, another whole year.

0:00:28.236,0:00:30.510
Also we've been doing live streams

0:00:30.510,0:00:33.030
and I've been putting[br]together Patreon videos

0:00:33.030,0:00:35.080
and I've just been doing a lot

0:00:35.080,0:00:36.950
and as I'm always telling you,

0:00:36.950,0:00:39.160
I'm always preaching to[br]you about taking time

0:00:39.160,0:00:40.640
and doing self-care and all of the things

0:00:40.640,0:00:43.510
that are just important in[br]life I think as a whole,

0:00:43.510,0:00:45.300
I'm gonna do some of that.

0:00:45.300,0:00:48.500
And so actually I'm[br]recording this on a Saturday

0:00:48.500,0:00:51.600
and Shawn and I leave[br]tomorrow on Sunday, the 23rd

0:00:51.600,0:00:53.830
to go back to Washington[br]to visit my family

0:00:53.830,0:00:55.590
and to take some vacation time.

0:00:55.590,0:00:56.912
And so we're gonna be snowboarding

0:00:56.912,0:00:59.530
and catching up with my family and friends

0:00:59.530,0:01:01.400
and just hanging out and relaxing

0:01:01.400,0:01:03.140
so that next year I can come back

0:01:03.140,0:01:05.310
recharged and excited[br]because I really have

0:01:05.310,0:01:07.260
a lot of cool ideas about things

0:01:07.260,0:01:10.190
that are gonna come to[br]fruition finally in 2019.

0:01:10.190,0:01:12.160
One of those being Shawn and I's podcast,

0:01:12.160,0:01:13.490
I know many of you have[br]been asking about it

0:01:13.490,0:01:16.230
and we are still working on it,

0:01:16.230,0:01:18.475
I just haven't really had[br]the bandwidth to do more

0:01:18.475,0:01:20.512
than what I've already been doing.

0:01:20.512,0:01:23.440
And so, I just wanna let you[br]know a little bit about that

0:01:23.440,0:01:24.480
and how I've been feeling

0:01:24.480,0:01:26.350
because I was afraid I was[br]getting kinda burned out

0:01:26.350,0:01:30.030
and you know how I'm[br]always talking about that

0:01:30.030,0:01:31.280
and how important it is to take breaks

0:01:31.280,0:01:32.180
before we're burned out

0:01:32.180,0:01:33.800
because I wanna keep doing what I do.

0:01:33.800,0:01:35.441
And so I'm kinda preemptively striking.

0:01:35.441,0:01:38.210
And so I have bulk filmed all the videos

0:01:38.210,0:01:41.100
that are gonna happen for the next month

0:01:41.100,0:01:44.040
so that I don't have[br]to work on my vacation

0:01:44.040,0:01:45.306
'cause that's the problem[br]with YouTube, right?

0:01:45.306,0:01:46.770
I don't want any of you,

0:01:46.770,0:01:48.270
I know holidays are super stressful

0:01:48.270,0:01:49.790
and hard for many of you so know

0:01:49.790,0:01:51.530
that our whole community[br]is still here to support

0:01:51.530,0:01:54.391
and I have tons of videos about[br]all things holiday related

0:01:54.391,0:01:56.145
so you can search for those

0:01:56.145,0:01:59.430
but I just need to take a break too.

0:01:59.430,0:02:01.530
And so even though I don't[br]wanna let any of you down,

0:02:01.530,0:02:03.140
I still have to take care of myself

0:02:03.140,0:02:05.720
and so I've bulk filmed all of[br]the videos for the next month

0:02:05.720,0:02:07.950
and they will be going up as scheduled

0:02:07.950,0:02:10.496
but I just won't be interacting[br]as much as I used to.

0:02:10.496,0:02:13.150
They'll still be released

0:02:13.150,0:02:16.110
and I'll try to approve any[br]comments that are being held

0:02:16.110,0:02:18.740
but for the most part I'm[br]just gonna depend on you

0:02:18.740,0:02:20.570
and our community to support one another

0:02:20.570,0:02:23.590
while I take a much[br]needed break and vacation.

0:02:23.590,0:02:24.800
And so for two weeks,

0:02:24.800,0:02:26.820
I won't really be interacting much at all

0:02:26.820,0:02:29.510
but I will be on Instagram sharing along

0:02:29.510,0:02:31.100
my vacation on the YouTube stories,

0:02:31.100,0:02:33.330
that's a new thing that's[br]out that I've been utilizing.

0:02:33.330,0:02:34.850
So if you wanna follow along there,

0:02:34.850,0:02:37.423
you can see what I'm up[br]to and where I'm going.

0:02:38.650,0:02:40.830
So yeah, that's really it.

0:02:40.830,0:02:43.170
I mean I don't really know[br]what else to share with you

0:02:43.170,0:02:44.507
other than I'm just trying to take a break

0:02:44.507,0:02:46.652
so that next year I[br]can come back recharged

0:02:46.652,0:02:48.730
and with fresh eyes and hopefully

0:02:48.730,0:02:51.150
we can take the channel[br]in a really cool direction

0:02:51.150,0:02:53.130
because I really enjoy educating

0:02:53.130,0:02:54.860
and I want everything[br]to be really engaging

0:02:54.860,0:02:56.660
and I'm just trying to challenge myself

0:02:56.660,0:02:58.830
to do that in new ways.

0:02:58.830,0:03:00.540
And I've been talking a[br]lot about wanting to do

0:03:00.540,0:03:03.250
the this is what depression

0:03:03.250,0:03:06.549
or this is what anxiety feels[br]like kind short film ideas

0:03:06.549,0:03:10.140
but I just haven't had the[br]time to even consider those,

0:03:10.140,0:03:13.370
put those into scripts or[br]however people even do that,

0:03:13.370,0:03:14.330
I don't do that kind of thing

0:03:14.330,0:03:17.270
so I just haven't had a chance[br]really to do any of that.

0:03:17.270,0:03:20.140
And so taking a break will[br]really allow me the time

0:03:20.140,0:03:23.390
and the brain space to[br]come up with those ideas

0:03:23.390,0:03:25.730
and develop those ideas and[br]hopefully you guys see it

0:03:25.730,0:03:27.169
and feel it when I get back.

0:03:27.169,0:03:29.192
But thank you so much[br]for a wonderful year.

0:03:29.192,0:03:32.320
This has been a crazy and amazing year,

0:03:32.320,0:03:33.600
the community has grown a lot

0:03:33.600,0:03:34.905
so if you're new to the channel, welcome,

0:03:34.905,0:03:36.700
I'm a licensed therapist,

0:03:36.700,0:03:37.985
I put up videos on Mondays and Thursdays

0:03:37.985,0:03:40.600
but if you are looking,[br]if you have a question

0:03:40.600,0:03:42.270
and you're worried or[br]if someone in your life

0:03:42.270,0:03:44.380
is struggling with suicidal[br]thoughts or any of that,

0:03:44.380,0:03:46.020
you can just search on YouTube,

0:03:46.020,0:03:48.210
Katy Morton and put in[br]some of the key terms

0:03:48.210,0:03:50.370
whether that be suicide,[br]whether that be self-injury,

0:03:50.370,0:03:52.350
whether that be anxiety,[br]depression, holidays,

0:03:52.350,0:03:55.260
put in your key terms[br]and then all of my videos

0:03:55.260,0:03:56.400
on that topic will come up.

0:03:56.400,0:03:58.922
I use tags pretty well and[br]I have over 1,000 videos

0:03:58.922,0:04:00.657
so chances are I've answered it

0:04:00.657,0:04:02.730
but we also have an amazing community

0:04:02.730,0:04:04.540
that can guide you[br]towards the right videos

0:04:04.540,0:04:06.040
or share in their own experience

0:04:06.040,0:04:09.377
because as I've been saying[br]for over seven years now,

0:04:09.377,0:04:12.470
with your experience and my expertise,

0:04:12.470,0:04:13.590
we will keep working together

0:04:13.590,0:04:15.760
towards a healthy mind and a healthy body.

0:04:15.760,0:04:18.210
And I'm just really excited[br]to see what's to come in 2019.

0:04:18.210,0:04:19.610
I'm excited to hear from all of you

0:04:19.610,0:04:21.600
how your holidays are[br]and what's happening,

0:04:21.600,0:04:23.620
how 2018 has been for you?

0:04:23.620,0:04:25.640
Leave in the comments,[br]what are some great things

0:04:25.640,0:04:26.663
that you've accomplished this year?

0:04:26.663,0:04:29.557
What are some big goals maybe you have set

0:04:29.557,0:04:31.955
or even small goals that[br]were just really difficult?

0:04:31.955,0:04:34.650
What have you accomplished in 2018?

0:04:34.650,0:04:36.038
I wanna hear about it 'cause I think often

0:04:36.038,0:04:37.870
people focus on the negative

0:04:37.870,0:04:39.750
or we focus on like what's[br]going wrong in the world

0:04:39.750,0:04:40.685
or with people or whatever

0:04:40.685,0:04:43.100
but instead let's try to make[br]it a little more positive.

0:04:43.100,0:04:44.480
So let me know in those[br]comments down below

0:04:44.480,0:04:47.150
what you've been working[br]on and thank you so much

0:04:47.150,0:04:49.210
for allowing me to have this amazing job.

0:04:49.210,0:04:50.760
I'm really fortunate to do what I love

0:04:50.760,0:04:52.440
and to be able to help[br]people around the world,

0:04:52.440,0:04:54.660
it's just a really powerful[br]and wonderful thing

0:04:54.660,0:04:57.350
so thank you all so much, I[br]hope you're enjoying my book,

0:04:57.350,0:04:58.804
I hope you're enjoying the videos,

0:04:58.804,0:05:02.493
I love you all and I will[br]see you in the new year, bye.
