I made a simple list of goals at the beginning of 2014 that I kept to myself. In the past I’ve made my list of goals for the new year well in advance and ready to blog; long lists full of big ideas that usually end up somewhat accomplished but mostly half-assed. I love making lists – so much so that I can’t keep up with all of them. This year I wanted to be more realistic and so far? Well, I feel like I’m on the right track…
1. Be kind to yourself.
2. Do the things that scare you most.
3. Spend your time on people who spend their time on you.
4. Accept that things don’t always turn out the way you want them to.
5. Be confident in yourself.
This past month I’ve done these 5 things more than I ever have. I’ve been kind to myself by thinking positive thoughts and taking time to myself when I need it. I’ve done some pretty scary (to me) things lately too, and I did them with confidence. I’ve been spending my time on the people who spend time on me. And I’ve really been focusing on accepting when things just aren’t meant to be – an especially important lesson this week. I know that this is all kind of a vague post – and that can be really annoying. But it’s just a little something I wanted to write down and put out in the universe: I’m doing better, I’m getting better, I can do the things I thought I couldn’t do.
These are great goals; different from the norm. Though they seem cryptic, I feel like I can understand them. Hope all is well with you!- Jess L
Thank you, Jessica! I know they are a little bit cryptic, but you know how it goes – there are just those little details that you can't share on the wide open internet! It's always hard for me because I am an over-sharer! Haha. Everything is good though, thanks for always commenting! <3
Oh my gosh! These are all goals I want to write down and use myself! Such good ones to live by. You are a gem!
Aw, you are sweet! I feel like anyone can identify with these and I like that. It's simpler. 🙂
