Hello lovely,
Well, I know we don’t really know each other personally, and this post will hopefully be the beginning of a beautiful journey where we can get to know one another. I thought, what a great way for me to share with someone my 2017 New Years Resolutions, well more like goals.
Hope I motivate ya’ll to share some of your 2017 goals.
They are no in particular order so, here ya go:
01. Successfully Launching my Blog
I have been meaning to launch this little bad boy for a while now. I don’t know what has kept me from launching it, but I feel like my busy schedule might have something to do with it.
For the past four years, I have enjoyed reading blogs early in the morning with my warm cup of coffee (Its kind of became of morning ritual of mine) or when I need a little distraction.
Therefore, this year I thought, “Hey! I can do this, I can make my own blog, and have a little corner of the internet that is all mine.”
02. Saving up for an apartment
Okay, I currently live with roommates. However, after graduation I don’t know what my plans will be. I really want to save up for an apartment. I still don’t know if I want a place of my own or to rent with other roommates. I really don’t mind either.
I really like the city in which I am currently living and I plan to stay here for a while. Living on your own is expensive though, a goal of mine for 2017 is to save up enough money to find a place to live.
03. Leading a Healthy Lifestyle
Health is very important to me. Because I have dealt with a lot of health issues for the past two-three years I started to take the phrase, “you are what you eat” very seriously. One of my goals for 2017, is to be fit and healthy.
I plan to start simple, like working out two days out of the week and working my way up. One issue with working out that I dealt with in 2016 was inconsistency, that is why this year I want to be consistent with healthy eating and working out regularly.
04. Surrounding myself with positive people
This saying, ” Your vibe, attracts your tribe” (If you couldn’t tell already I love sayings and quotes hehe) Really sticks out to me because I really want to build mindful friendships.
This year instead of saying, “I miss you, I want to hang out but I can’t.” I really want to make more of an effort to spend time with friends and also find friends who have the same the same goals and aspirations as me. I feel like that is very important. To find people who have similar goals and similar work ethic or better work ethic, that way they motivate you to do better.
05. Traveling
In 2017 I hope to travel more. In 2016, I was blessed to go to Hawaii for the very first time with my very good friend. It felt amazing, prior to that I hadn’t really travel out of the state.
This year one of my biggest goals is to save up for a trip to San Francisco, California. Aside from International travel, I know there are so many local places within my state and within my city that I have yet to discover, so this year, I want to get out of my comfort zone and go somewhere new at least twice a month.
06. Organization
I have been drowning in papers. I honestly don’t know where they come from! Actually, maybe I do. I have ideas all the time and I like to write them down. Sometimes, I forget that I wrote something down and write it down again and therefore now I have a box full of unnecessary papers underneath my bed.
Therefore, this year it is a goal of mine to eliminate all of those papers and be paper free. Also, in terms of organization, I really want to work on organizing my email and keeping it that way throughout the year. In order for me to be healthy, organization and being clutter free is very important.
07. Reducing my debt
Hello Debt! Know that I have acknowledged that it is there, in 2017 I need to devise a plant to tackle down my student loans debt. Okay, well like many college students out there graduation not only comes with a diploma but also a lump sum of college loans.
School is expensive (Go figure!) My goal this year is to pay half of my student loans before I graduate college. I still have a semester to go, and I would really like to graduate without so much debt.
Those are my 2017 Goals. I need to devise a plan on how I plan to tackle these down and how I will work day to day to reach these goals! I would really love if you commented some of your new year’s resolution, or goals. Maybe I can gain some inspiration for more.
Love always, Yadi
