As some of you may or may not know, 2016 came in STRONG for me, (which explains my limited blog posting, I apologize for my negligence). I've been trying to work on all aspects of my life. Literally all aspects. (So excuse me while this blog post will be all over the place, I have some catching up to do)
From as small as growing out my eyebrows, to as big as going back to school...
Living a healthy & fit lifestyle, new role & responsibilities at work...
to as simple & important as actively seeing my friends & family that matter most, as often as possible.
Just overall a brand-spanking-new goal driven year for me. Just trying to adjust and balance all of it as diligently as I could. I never wanted to be the girl that just works & works out. Or the girl too busy for everyone else because I was working on myself. But I also didn't want to be the girl that did nothing to progress or better her life. So I'm just balancing my social with my professional, with my personal... with my spiritual... Basically becoming a well rounded adult and the best version of myself possible.
One of the prominent changes I made this year which I always start the year off doing is setting fitness & financial goals. I make a vision board with my sisters & we all decide what it is that we want from the year.
One thing was different this year:
1) I wrote very specific goals
2) I immediately started working on the necessary steps to get where I wanted
Four months into the year... and this girl is still pushing hard. It gets difficult sometimes, Some days I wonder if it's all worth it. Some days I wake up completely exhausted and with no desire to continue any of these paths. Then I remind myself or someone around me reminds me everything I'm working towards. These aren't short term goals, these are things that require patience and time. These are things that won't happen overnight and some are continuous and will last my entire lifetime. I won't always get the results I'm seeking in every single thing, but I will be closer to what I desire.
I also have to remind myself that not everyone is going to be on my team... that not everyone will be a cheerleader & supportive. That some people will doubt my dedication, that some won't believe in me as much as I believe in myself. That some people have many issues within themselves & try to reflect that on your accomplishments.
But that I shouldn't focus on those people, that I should focus on the people that believe in me more so than I do myself, those people that are constantly pushing me to push my own limits.
Remind myself that I'm not only making these changes and improvements in my life for myself, but for every single person that stood by my side when I could barely get up.
That I'm becoming the best version of myself for myself... for you, friends...and for the future "you" that will get the best version of me...
