My goals for 2019 | Buckley, WA Family Photographer

New Year Resolutions

Every year people all over the world set New Year Resolutions. They usually lie in the realm of weight lose, cutting out a habit that we don’t like that we have or financial goals. But what ever our goals are it seems like they don’t last too long. I have in the past put the weight lose goal on the top of my list and made it a point to go to the gym 5 days a week and lose 1 pound a week. I tried to do this by cutting out carbs and minimizing my calorie intake. Well that never worked and I got lazy and temptation was too great to diet that hard.

This year I have decided to go a different route in hopes that I can go a whole year of staying consistent. How am I going to do that you ask? This year my main goal is to show up. I am committed to just doing the things that I value in life. If you make the time you will get things done. Just show up! Make a plan and stick to it.

Health

  • Showing up to the gym or working out at home. 30 minutes a day is what I want to do 7 days a week. Wether its yoga or cardio, lifting or HIIT.

  • Scheduling Self care and not canceling! I want to do massages once a month, finding a skincare routine and sticking to it. Getting pretty more often for me, hard to do when you a. work at home and b. have a toddler.

Family

  • I am going to show up for my family by not being plugged into Social Media as much and using it mainly for business and a little personal. I want to not check it 2-3 times an hour.

  • Taking time to shut down the TV and spend more time focusing on my daughter and teaching her numbers, colors, sharing snuggles and playing! So heart fulfilling.

  • I am going to show up for my husband by planning date nights and alone time. We are so busy with work and kids that we don’t get the time we deserve to spend with each other one on one. Planning 1-2 date nights a month is my goal. That will all be possible because of two outstanding grandmas that support us by watching her when we ask! Thank you!!

Business

  • Lastly I am going to show up for my followers, clients and business in general. I want to serve my clients and followers with rich content that they want to see and share more of myself with you all. As an introvert opening up to many is harder than one on one interaction so I am working on that.

  • I am going to schedule time for work. Being self employed is hard because you don’t have a set schedule to clock in and out unless you make it and stick to it. Hopefully by doing this I will have more time to spend on all the things stated above!

So those are my goals and I would love to hear what your goals are. Let me know your strategies to staying on track. Share with me what your biggest goal is and lets keep each other accountable!

I wish you a happy new year and the strength and focus to stick to your goals the whole year long!
