When the new year rolled around I was thinking about what I needed to change & what I needed to add. You hear all the time that resolutions don't happen. We know. We suck. But this year I really wanted to embrace the fresh start and figure out how I could make it work. I know a lot of people that start with monthly goals rather than diving right in and trying to make a goal to reach by December 31st. I mean, come on. Thats so far away. So, thats my plan! Each month.
I can do this. I can do this.
I can do this. I can do this.
Instead of being specific and failing. I'm going to EXPECT mistakes and allow them. Say what? Yes. Allow them. I am the QUEEN of making a mistake and quitting. So maybe, just maybe, this year can be full of mistakes and victories.
January Goals:
(& if i screw it up. which I might. try and try again)
Physically
-Work out more than 2 days a week
(yeah-thats easy. but some weeks 2 is going to be HARD)
-Drink 1/2 my body weight in water (AKA:get a cute new cup to carry around-heyyy)
Spiritually
STUDY the bible. Not just read over it and say check. done. I can read these words.
Go to church. No excuses. Our church is FABULOUS. When we move that will be one thing I miss most!! I can't make this up. Thats our church!
Emotionally
Read more.
I'm so glad I'm following some of you who share what you're reading. I need a good book I can get lost in!!
Write more.
Hey blog Hey.
Pamper more.
This won't be hard. But then again-it will since were trying to save. But I'll continue to use the excuse that getting my nails/toes done helps me to be more productive! I'm sure science proves it. ;)
Relationally
Send more love notes to my people far away.
I loooove me some snail mail. & the fact that our world has us living forever away-its the perfect opportunity
Date my hubby.
One of my favorite things to do. I want to plan for this. If I let it, photography will take every last second of my weekends and I can't let that happen. Gotta plan to hang out with that chunk I get to call my hubby! (I'd love to hear your ideas!)
Financially
(Scheduled for January 25th for 9 weeks. SO PUMPED!)
Save more. Spend less.
I always budget. I love it so much. Its therapeutic for me! But, for some reason I always give us TOO much in each category causing us to spend it since we have it. Trying to nix that.
What are your hopes for January?
I think these are alllll great goals lady. I like how you split them up.
ReplyDeletegreat goals girl! good luck with reading, that's my favourite one :) and pampering yourself too. i rarely do anything like that, but i do have a bath most nights as it helps relax me and i refuse to give that up haha. and then i go get a pedicure every couple of months :)
ReplyDeleteAH! We did the Dave Ramsey class right before we got married and LOVED it. I fell off the train but have gone gung ho again for 2016! Let me know if you find a bible study you love! I've done a couple but I'm looking for something new! :) Good luck!!
ReplyDeleteI freaking can't believe that's your church!!! JEALOUS. Hope you're doing well girlfriend! Say hi to Josh for me!
ReplyDeletePS - yes. Photography CAN become your life. It's scary, ha! I have to dedicate only like TWO nights a week to editing/consults or else it will take over my life. #notokay
Great post! One of my goals this year is to drink more water and to read more, too! All of these goals are so good, and you are going to rock them!!
