Get Started!

​​​Happy New Year Everyone! 2018 is finally here and it’s time to get started! Get started? You may be asking, “Get started on what?” I’ve made a personal resolution/goal/promise to myself to make sure I am taking time for ME in the best possible ways in 2018.
 
Some people look at making New Year’s resolutions as cliché or lame but I think it is important to layout your goals for the coming year no matter what you call them. Positive intentions can be written down in a journal or posted on a vision board. However you decide to do it make it a habit to declare and affirm those things you plan to accomplish this year.
 
My personal resolution is to take better care of myself this year. You know the saying “you can’t pour from an empty cup”? To be the best wife, mother, friend, student, and mentor I am capable of being I have to remember not to forget about myself. My physical health, my mental health and my spiritual health is just as important as taking care of everyone else.
 
So that’s it. That’s my resolution. I’ve set it. I’ve written the specifics down in a place where I see them daily (it’s harder to ignore and forget this way). When I get off track (it happens to the best of us) I’ll look at my list and remind myself how important it is to take care of ME. Whether you decide to call it a resolution, a goal, a promise to yourself, or simply a positive intention set it, write it down and commit to it! It’s time to get started!!
