I feel as if you’re in 1 of 2 main groups when it comes to resolutions (or goals, or making it your year, etc)-
ALL IN:
You’re making vision boards, plans, writing lists, etc. This even applies if you’re one who thinks the “real” new years is Aries season!
Out:
You’re planning on being the same great person you are, and aren’t letting the “pressure” to be “all new” get to you. Or maybe you think that the years should start being better (and not you)- this is also a valid point!
Honestly, I’m historically a bit of both- having big goals and plans, but not going over board with being all in. Mainly, as I have usually been starting years in shapes (not just my body) that I was mostly happy with- so it was simply building on that. However, last year was a year. We are still dealing with the house repairs- which lead to some illness, a bit of depression, and me not feeling like me. So, my overall goal for the year? Get back to me- or perhaps recreate me. From putting passion back into what I love and makes me happy like (like this! Grow our community again) to getting more consistent in my workouts (I know. Cliche!), there are lists of personal (and professional) goals I am determined to work towards, change, etc. So, from vision boards to being accountable here, these below are just a few that I am becoming this year:
Getting Dressed
I know, that sounds so basic! But with how I felt for a chunk of last year- from physically to mentally to it all- there were days it was hard to get out of bed. Getting dressed at times was an impossibility. Yet, getting dressed, playing in my closet, coming up with outfits that bring me joy and tell a story? I really think it’s part of why I’m here (and not just on the blog). So. I’m getting back to. I know that there are days when it will be hard (I write this in my gym clothes that I haven’t changed out of). But we are getting dressed this year!
Consistent in the Gym/Diet
I know this is oh-so-cliche. BUT. I used to love working out- it helped my mental state, I loved the way I looked, and it was social for me. Due to (waves hands in the direction of it all), I haven’t been consistent- and yes, I will admit I want to lose the few pounds I’ve gained, and tone up again– but I also want to feel better. And I know how I eat and move my body affects that.
Beauty
Beauty as both self care and another way to play, skincare to tools, make up and more- I’m in it all.
Dry January
I also want to crush Dry January- as a little kick off (below I’m linking my fave wine alternatives!)
There are other goals of course- I want a creative hobby (I’m going to try embroidery!), to find some balance, get back to blogging and “influencing” (I kinda of hate that word but that’s another story!), to sleep schedules and more- maybe it’s not “new year, new me”, but it’s a better and more happy me.
What are your thoughts on resolutions and what are yours? I would love to know!
