As many have already espoused, you do not need a fresh year to set intentions, goals, and resolutions for yourself; you can do so anytime. I do believe that. But there something I can't resist about the post-holiday quiet of January, combined with new planners/calendars and my birthday coming up in a few weeks. It's a natural time for me to reflect, pick my guiding words for 2015, and visualize what I want out of the coming year. These are some of the ideas, intentions, and dreams I'd like to bring into my life.
***
In 2015:
Be brave, speak from the heart, ask questions, listen.
Connect with the earth. Spend time outdoors, in nature, hiking, walking.
Write in my journal daily, or as close to daily as possible.
Enjoy my own company; embrace solitude.
Take a vacation to the lake house.
Focus only on what really matters.
Go on adventures together.
Take pictures, make videos.
Continue to streamline life, home and my wardrobe.
Nourish myself, physically and spiritually.
Write write write write write.
Try new things; embrace the beginner's mindset.
Read damn good books.
Channel Emma—poised, elegant, creative, strong-minded, strong beliefs.
Live, travel, adventure, bless, and don't be sorry.
Practice kitchen meditation.
Stretch, get grounded, and grow.
Get another cat. Male, black, Bombay breed preferably, to be named Theodore.
Create the kind of home I envision.
Make lots of things.
Take a trip to Utah's national parks.
Feed myself with good, clean, life-supporting food.
Think about growing as a family.
One of my goals for 2015 is to journal daily. I'm using Elise Blaha's habit tracker and have so far kept up with it. It's still early in the year, of course, but I feel like I'm already in the habit of doing it. It's been very cathartic and I'm kinda falling in love with my journal again.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your goal, Julia! I saw your tracker on IG - you're doing great! I'm not doing it quite daily yet, but I plan to keep trying. It is definitely something I've been missing over the past few years.
