New Year, New Opportunities

​I’m back!
 
 
I am so glad to be back writing to you once again. I have taken time off to recharge, focus on what is important and reflect on what I want this year to look like. I hope you all enjoyed your holiday and are excited for the new year. 
 
If you have followed me for a while, you know I love a good season change. It provides an opportunity to reset, mentally and emotionally and create new routines, habits and goals. 
 
Last year I started a 21 in 21, which was 21 goals I had for the year. Surprisingly to me, I actually met most of those goals. Some of them included taking my vitamins daily (I rarely missed a day all year), going on a monthly date night with my husband (we went above and even went on a weekend getaway one month) and knocked off a few items that I have been procrastinating (getting a new travel ID driver’s license, servicing my vacuum cleaners and going on a mom-cation). Some that I was a bit less successful with were reading 12 books (I only got to 9) and walking/yoga 6 days a week (well let’s just say that was my least accomplished on my list….).
 
As I reflect on my year, I am proud of what I did. My business grew, I gained more clients, started an online course and conquered some really big fears. And while I did not accomplish everything I wanted; I am still happy with what I did. 
 
This year, I am going to do 22 in 22. I am going to add back to my list those that I was not entirely successful with (movement and reading) along with a few new ones (booking a cruise for my 10-year anniversary in 2023 and remodel guest bathroom).
 
In my business, I will be more intentional with regular emails as well as providing more quality content on my blog as well as social media. I will also be launching a course on anxiety, which will be full of practical, tactical tools to beginning utilizing with a holistic framework. 
 
Now, enough about me. As you reflect on 2021, what were some of your highs and big accomplishments? What are some things you would like to change in 2022? It doesn’t need to be big, little things can also add up to big changes. 
 
Here are three steps to help you achieve your heart’s desire in 2022. 
 
  1. Write it down. When we write down our dreams and goals, they become more real. Maybe you just write a list on your phone in the notes section or perhaps you create a vision board, whatever works for you, do it!
  2. Tell someone you trust. Most personalities (not all) tend to do better when there is external accountability of someone else knowing what you are working on. Even if they don’t check in with you about it, just knowing that someone else knows provides more motivation to achieve what was shared. 
  3. Review your goals regularly. I will admit, I have made new year’s goals as long as I can remember and often, I even write them down. But, more than one year I will admit that after the first few weeks of January, I never reviewed (or even remembered) what my goals for the year are. Zig Ziglar says “If we aim for nothing, we will hit it every time”. Now, I have a goals board in my office with visual reminders of my goals (thanks to the goals frame I made at the pinners conference ;)) as well as have them written down in my planner. 
 
Of course, there is more to be said about goal setting but these three tips provide a great foundation. I would love to hear what your goals are for the year so drop me a DM and share. See you soon friend!
