A FEW NEW YEAR GOALS

Note the use of 'goals' rather than resolutions. I'm the kind of person that's not necessarily big on resolutions - I feel like, if you really want to change something, you don't need there to be a new year to do so. With that being said, I always feel that a new year is a perfect opportunity for a clean slate and I like to look to the year ahead as a new chapter - one in which we don't need to change things, but as a chance to achieve something; hence, the use of 'goals' in my post title.

I feel like 2018 was a great year for me and, even though I didn't really achieve many of my 2018 goals, I'm happy with the outcome of the year and the person I became during the year. So, with this newfound positive outlook, here are a few of my 2019 goals.

1. Do more work experience.
2. 
   
3. Read more - at least a book per month.
4. 
   
5. Stick with my blog, and keep up with my content - no more disappearing for weeks at a time. 
6. 
   
7. Say 'yes' more - but also feel comfortable saying 'no' when I want to. 
8. 
   
9. Stop thinking about how things will affect other people, and think more about how they'll impact me - put myself first. 
10. 
    
11. Be more open with the people around me, and on my blog, for that matter. 
12. 
    
13. Stay away from Instagram Live. 

So, on that note: Happy New Year and I hope that this year brings you everything you hope - and, if you're setting yourself goals and resolutions, I hope they go well for you.
