STARTING OVER

First and foremost, I have no business starting a blog. Im not too big with being active on the few social media platforms I have and feel like I don’t have much to say, but the past few weeks I’ve been pushing myself to do new things and believe it or not, starting a blog has been on my list for years. I’m not too big of a writer, but I’ve always liked the idea of putting my thoughts on to paper (or computer, I guess) and just let my voice flow. I’ve journaled here and there, and I found that it was very therapeutic and refreshing to get all my thoughts out, leave them on paper, and be done. 

Since the beginning of the year, I’ve set goals for myself that would help me both physically and mentally. I wanted to read one book per month. Become more active. Drink more water. To finally be at peace with myself. And I gotta say, I started off 2020 pretty strong. I was going to the gym at least 3 times a week. Cut out sugar and fast food, was eating healthy for the most part. I was reading a couple chapters from a book every night. I was even writing down my own interpretations with certain sections of the book! (I was reading Gabby Bernstein’s “The Universe Has Your Back”- highly recommend btw). I was focusing on the good, feeling refreshed, and liked this new road id taken. Skip ahead to September 2020, I’m restarting my mindset once again.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve constantly been thinking about my future (don’t we all) and where I truly see myself in the next few years. I was just getting tired of saying ,”this is what I’m going to do” or “this is what I would want”. I realized I wasn’t putting any action behind those words. I was getting frustrated with myself and wasting time. I SERIOUSLY needed to make a change and start putting those “wants” into motion. My boyfriend gave me the idea of starting a vision board. Ive always just written down my goals without having a plan on how I was going to achieve them or any kind of detail, hence why I never really put forth much effort into attacking them. 

 

Now, with a vision board, you can visualize your goals and get excited about them. The most important part I learned was creating a plan on HOW you will reach that goal. I had to really think on the steps I need to take in order to make the goals on my vision board happen. And most importantly, how I was going to execute those steps.  I want the remainder of the year to go on as I started off 2020. Feeling motivated, refreshed, and ready to start making some more positive changes, physically and mentally. For the first time in along time, I feel ready to get these goals accomplished! Its time for me to put some action into what I’ve been saying and start creating the future I want.
