For many around the globe, January represents a fresh start and a new chapter. While you can certainly make a goal for yourself any time of the year, now seems to be the time when people do it the most. Today I want to talk about something called a Vision Board. It is an easy activity and daily practice to help you stay focused and achieve your goals for the year ahead!If you’ve read the book The Secret or seen…
Happy New Year! It is that time again where we collectively think about what we’d like to accomplish in the year ahead of us. As I’ve said in the past, I don’t really do the “new year’s resolution” / very specific goals thing anymore. Rather, I try to come up with a few words or themes to focus on throughout the year. This has worked well for me in the last few years so I am continuing again in 2022….
Happy New Year! Guys – we did it. 2020 is over! And while I realize that the new year does not flip a switch in world events, I will say that I feel optimistic and hopeful about what this year has in store. Part of me is genuinely hopeful that Covid will be less of a concern by this year’s end. I think (and hope) that the vaccines being administered will be successful and that with vaccination and continued adherence…
It is truly hard to believe that 2020 is soon coming to an end. I think that we can all agree that this year has been unlike any other that we have experienced. I’ve told this story a few times but I continue to tell it because it is a perfect example of the lack of control that we have when it comes to outside forces. Two weeks before the pandemic struck in the United States, I had one of…
January has begun and it is the month of aspired change, hope, and of course – goals! Whether you make a goal in January or any other time of the year, we all know that sometimes it isn’t easy to stick to a goal you have set for yourself. Today I want to talk about what I believe is the driving force behind not just achieving the goals you set for yourself, but overall improving the quality of your life:…
We are now in the final days of 2019. Many of us are looking forward to the clean slate of a new year. 2019 was a decent year for me, there were ups and downs like any other year but ultimately I feel as though I grew a bit this year. This particular new year will be bringing me face to face with major life decisions I’ve been intentionally saving off for 2020, and so for that reason, I am…
With the new year right around the corner, there is no better time than now to dust off some of the dreams and aspirations that have taken up residence in a deeply buried spot of your heart and mind. I’m not talking about ordinary new year’s resolutions but rather, the kind of things you dream about doing but have been putting off year after year after year. Earlier this year I turned 26. I’m now in a new age group…
As I am writing this it is October. Only three months remain before we embark upon 2020. I have recently realized that this season of Fall is the perfect time to begin thinking about the goals you would like to achieve in the coming year. 2019 was the first year of my life that I made a New Year’s Resolution that I consistently worked on throughout the entire year. I learned that when you focus on goals that are realistic and obtainable…
“Remember the days you prayed for what you have now…” There will always be *something* we want in life that we are working towards. Whether it is material things such as a vehicle, computer, house, etc or life goals such as finding love, having a child, obtaining a degree or publishing your own work — there will always be SOMETHING we are hoping to achieve. It’s a good thing — goals keep us going. However, with certain goals taking years to achieve, life can…
It’s September 1st and to me, that means it is *officially* ok to start celebrating fall! Although I do enjoy summer time, this year has been a crazy one! Between many humid days and a dangerous outbreak in our area of mosquitos with EEE (which resulted in limited outdoor fun) I am more than ready for fall! Although the real fall weather is still a few weeks away I see no harm in planning ahead 😉 I look forward to…
