Some Goals for the Rest of 2020
It’s safe to say that 2020 has not turned out the way anyone imagined. It’s amazing how my motivation has ebbed and flowed throughout these months of lockdown but I decided last month that I really want to pull myself out of the fog and accomplish a few things throughout the rest of the year. Here are a few goals that I have for the rest of 2020, share one of your goals in the comments below so we can work towards them together! 1. Practice Daily Gratitude The women I follow who I find most inspiring rave about the mental health benefits of having a daily gratitude practice. I…

Wellbeing Goals That Are Not Based on Your Appearance or Weight
When we think of our wellbeing it is common for us to set goals that are centered around our aesthetics or the number on the scale. I put myself on my first diet at the age of 14 (read more of my journey here) because I was convinced the only way I could be happier or more attractive in high school was if I lost weight. Dieting was what I was “supposed” to do. The media is constantly telling us that we must shrink our bodies to fit in and social media has inundated us with images of women we think we need to look like in order to be…

Goal A Month: January
I shared a little bit in a previous post about how I am approaching goals for 2019. The plan is to create healthy habits that build up to help me reach the larger goals I have for myself. To do this, I have created a plan for each month and each habit I hope to develop. I’ve also made it a point to tap into my “why power” to really get to the heart of why I want to develop this habit. By doing this I have built in motivation! For January, I really wanted to focus on becoming an early riser. A few years ago, I got up early…

2018 Reflections and a New Year Goal
It’s that time of year where we reflect on the past year and look forward to what we want to accomplish in the new year to come. The last year has been a tough one and I’ve worked really hard on a lot of personal things over the course of the last 12 months. Regardless of the trials though, I wouldn’t have changed a thing and I am lucky enough to have little nuggets of good times to help balance it all out. I am enjoying taking a walk down memory lane and really looking forward to what 2019 has in store! 2018 Reflections Unfortunately, the year began with the…

Reflections and Resolutions
Happy New Year!!! Reflections It never ceases to amaze me how quickly the years pass and 2017 has been no exception. As this year comes to a close, I can look back on it with fondness and positivity. I began the year with a very significant change when I started a new job at the end of January. Since then I have joined the company as a full time employee and could not be happier with my job and the company I work for. The happiness and fulfillment that I get from my job has inspired and motivated me to go after other long time goals outside of work. This…

2017 Goals
I know it’s no longer January (we’re actually in the third month of the year) but I don’t see anything wrong with reminding myself frequently of the goals I have set for myself this year. Like the majority of people who set resolutions for themselves, I have found it difficult in years past to stick to them. I have been very good at setting vague resolutions with no real way to measure success or failure and eventually I just put them to the wayside and forget about them completely. This year I have tried setting measurable goals in an attempt to motivate myself to stick with it and work hard…
