How To :: Set Your Most Bad*** Resolutions that Don't Suck

/

You want resolutions that don't suck in 2016, am I right? I mean I could sugar coat it and say, yes, your dreams of exercising daily, eating only "good" foods, and resisting the snooze button will finally be actualized this year. But I would be lying. And nobody likes a liar. What I can tell you is how you can set goals which will actually stick in under 10 steps. If you're too busy or tired to sit down and map it all out, there's an option for me to do it all for you - heck yeah you read that right. Without further ado (because who has time for that right now) ...

7 Tips to Resolution Success

1. Start from where you are right now ::

Listen. If you don't exercise regularly, you're not going to set and stick to the resolution of working out everyday. Nope. You won't. If you recognize where you are starting from, you will be able to set realistic goals which will get you to your idealized self. Be mindful of where you are with respect to where you want to go, and be honest with yourself. If it doesn't align with your values, it won't feel good or last, so be mindful of your own wants and needs and not those of your best friend or favorite celebrity.

2. Freaking Visualize ::

Imagine yourself in the future. What are you doing? What emotions are you feeling? What do you look like? Write down your ideal scenario.

3. Break it Down & Specify ::

The best thing you can do is take that ideal scenario, and narrow it down to a few goals to start. Taking one at a time or a couple at a time will see far greater results than creating a parallel universe for yourself and getting lost in the process. If you need help on setting goals, check out this blog post. The gist of the post is goals need to be SMART: specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely.

4. Write it, Write it, Write it ::

Write down your resolutions with a positive tone, with words or pictures, and keep them in a place you see often. For example: On your refrigerator, a visual with green vegetables and the words, I will eat more greens.

5. Develop a Plan ::

Set long-term & short-term goals with realistic timelines that don't make you sweat at the thought but rather glow with excitement.

6. Think Obstacles ::

Don't fear road blocks. Plan for them. Expect setbacks with an open mind, and recognize it wouldn't be life without them. You have the option to give or not give them power.

7. Make it Happen & Reward Yo'self ::

Assess your progress, being willing to adjust if life gets in the way or your priorities change. Reevaluate frequently, and keep them up to date with the ever-evolving you! Don't forget to celebrate your victories with items or experiences that make you feel like a sexy bad***.

Never Stop Dreaming || 1.26.15

|| Even When You're Feeling Low, Dream. ||

I really love this quote. It reminds me how wild my imagination goes when I'm feeling down. Sometimes I dream about love, sometimes my future career, and sometimes art, but my mind always circles around and around with ideas -- even if I am feeling too down to do anything. That's okay though. Sometimes, the dream is what matters most. Because on the days where I feel good, that's when I'm so glad that I had those dreams, because I finally have the energy to put them to action. So, even when you're feeling low, dream. Whatever happens, never stop dreaming and imagining and hoping for the best outcome life has to offer, because it will be there one day.

How was your weekend? Anything exciting happen? What are you looking forward to this week?

||GRATITUDE||

I am grateful for imagination.

I am grateful for my bed and it's coziness.

I am grateful for the understanding and compassionate people I surround myself with.

I am grateful for life and love.

Always Come Back to Your Truth || 1.12.15

||TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF||

Funny, I just copied the post format from two days before winter break. Amazing how time can fly as I sit on my bed/couch/office in my home away from home. Back to the daily grind of business, nutrition, and school and the overwhelming necessity of naps. A chilly day for the world has me burrowing under blankets, trying to stay warm and optimistic. I'm going to plan a few self care moments over the course of the next four months. Any suggestions?

Remember that you do truly remain when all else fails. Everything crumbling around you does not mean you must crumble as well. Stand tall and be the strength, light, and wisdom needed to carry forward. Maintain hope and balance. Above all else, honor yourself and come back to your truth, always sharing your continuous love and support. You can do this. I can do this. We can do this. Let the wild rumpus start!

How was your weekend? Anything exciting happen? What are you looking forward to this week?

||GRATITUDE||

I am grateful for acceptance.

I am grateful for kindness.

I am grateful for understanding.

I am grateful for guidance and the wisdom of others.
