New Years' Resolutions

So I thought I would give my two cents about New Years' Resolutions. I have always been someone that made a few New Year's Resolutions quickly on January 1st. Then I would be really good for a couple of days, then I would not look at them and go back to exactly what I was doing before. This is how I was through most of high school and college. Last year I did a better job of writing down a few goals to  really focus on.

Now I am one of those people who thinks having goals is great, if you make a plan to follow through. You can start these goals whenever you would like. When I decided to live a healthier lifestyle I began on August 1, 2017. I have followed through with that goal and have gained more confidence and become more happy with how I feel. I have also managed to drop 50 pounds (if you would like more information about this let me know and I will definitely do a post).

This year I want to take a day (more likely an hour or two) and sit down and really think about attainable goals that I want to focus on in 2019. I have set some categories that I would like to make goals in, they are personal goals, financial goals, health goals, and professional goals. I am going to try to focus on one or two goals in each of these categories.

Now if you would like me to share my goals and how the process goes this year I would definitely be willing to. What I would love is if you would share some of your goals that you have accomplished in the past or even goals you have for the upcoming part of your life.

Also, if any of you have set like 5 year and 10 year goals and have any tips for that I would be super thankful to hear those. I think I am going to try to do 2019 goals, 3 year goals, and 5 year goals this year. I know they will change, but I think it can keep your life moving in a more productive direction.

2016

It is 2016 and it is a new year. So many people make resolutions and I am normally one of those people. I am a person who makes a list, follows it for a month, and then forgets I wrote it until I begin to think about resolutions for the next year.

This year I decided to do something different. I did not write a long list of resolutions. This is not because I have a perfect life or nothing I want to change because I need to work on both of those things.

I have decided to make 2016 the year I become a better me, without writing a list of resolutions. I am going to change things by waking up each morning and working on being a better me. Not having a long checklist of things, but making daily decisions to be a better me. This may mean eating healthy, working out, or taking the time to relax. Whatever daily decisions I make I want to work to be happier and more confident.


Happy New Year Everyone! You can tell me your resolutions or goals down below.
