It’s a new year! New opportunities! Have you seen? This means 365 opportunities open to you!  

Of course! OF COURSE everyday is a new opportunity to better myself and take a small step to achieve my goals! That’s exactly what I’m doing. I started a journal yesterday to help hold myself accountable for my actions daily that support my goals, hopes, dreams, and wishes. This blog holds me accountable as well! I cannot very well write and post about things I’m doing to support my art if I am not actually doing them. 

I will be documenting daily what I’ve done to support the goals I have set for myself. I believe this will be so important in my pursuit of achievement because everyday I will be recognizing the victories I had. Everything from, “I chose to skip the cake today.” to “I got a book deal!” will be included. I am choosing to revel in the tiniest of accomplishments! 

2019 is my reset button! Gone is the stress of planning a wedding and honeymoon! No more beating myself up over my unhealthy habits or conversations I think should’ve gone differently. 

I’m not naive- I know I’ll still have anxieties and disappointments and setbacks. I know I’ll have bad days where I won’t want to do anything. I’m certain I will have to push through days where I eat the wrong thing, say something stupid, or have zero creative inspiration  

Recently, I read something about self-care. People tend to think self-care is all about bubble baths, relaxation, personal time, and coffee...and sometimes it is! However, sometimes self-care is about self-discipline and doing things even if I don’t want to. 

Cheers to the new year! Whats your resolution or goals for the new year?
