We have said good bye to 2017 and have welcomed 2018 with open hearts! Maybe 2017 it was a great year for you or maybe it was the worst year of your life, either way 2017 is done! Now is time to start the New Year so now what? What is it going to be? Did you make any new year resolutions? What do you want to accomplish in the new year? So many questions are flowing around, what to do?
The New Year is time for new beginnings! A time to reroute the gps of our life towards the direction we want to take. A time to set new goals that are achievable and realistic. If you set unrealistic goals you will be sitting at 11:59pm on December 31, 2018 beating yourself up because you were not able to accomplish any of the goals you set January 1st. On the same note, do not set goals that are way to low or that do not require any effort because they are not going to have the impact you desire.
So as you are sitting today reading this blog 12 days into the year, think about what you want to do, what is it that your heart desires and start doing something towards it. Do not duel on what you didn't do last year, "begin... the rest is easy".
For me, this year I want to do something different. I have come up with the brilliant idea to set up monthly goals. I will think about something I want to do or accomplish during the month and I will work towards that goal. So here is my goal for January 2018:
1. Pay off my car.
I only owe $685.00 so my goal is to pay it off this month. Meaning that I will have extra cash for the month of February. I already know what I want to do with the money but you will have to wait until next month to know what I'm doing with it. Sorry!
(THE CAR WAS PAID OFF THE DAY I'M POSTING THIS BLOG, JANUARY 12, 2018. YESSSSS!!!)
2. I want to be more active.
For the month of January my goal is to do some type of physical activity for 10 days of the month.
(So far I've worked out once, so I have 9 more days to go. LOL!)
3. I want to upload more content on my YouTube channel.
I want to drive my channel to be a successful one. For the month of January I am going to upload two videos to my YouTube channel.My YouTube Channel
4. I want to post more on the blog.
This is a great way to express myself so I want to be able to at least do two blog post during this month.
I hope that by setting monthly goals I will be able to accomplish more of the things I want to do. And hopefully by the end of 2018 I can reflect on the wonderful year I created for myself.
