New Year’s Resolutions for 2017

Can you believe we have just a few more hours left before 2016 is over!  My how the year has flown! As I reflect back on this year I have so much to be grateful for, one, I am still here.  If you are also glad to still be here can I get an AMEN!  I want to take this moment to share with you some of my New Year’s Resolutions that I would consider to be actually attainable that you may want to adapt for your everyday life.

1. Love more fiercely – Do not be apologetic about loving yourself or others.
2. Do more things in the new year that bring you joy; I.e. plan activities that will bring you happiness – whether that means going bowling, kayaking, or going away for the weekend. Take the time to make the time to have fun.
3. Do more to maintain your peace of mind. If that means learning the art of saying no…you have got a few more hours’ lol to practice saying it.  Say it with me NO!
4. Learn and relearn if you have to how to be patient. Patience is in fact a virtue.  Remember, Rome was not built in one day.
5. Be kinder to yourself and to others even when angered.
6. Honor your needs – No more will you push your own feelings to the corner. There is no better time to honor your needs then in 2017.
7. Take a leap out on faith – This year to come may be filled with new opportunities for you that could come in the form of a new job, car, house, or etc. Be not afraid of such opportunities.
8. Take care of yourself – mind, body, and spirit. Pour into your mind, body, and spirit all that is wonderful, will bring you good health, and is positive.
9. No more unnecessary or over used “I am sorry.” Instead replace I am sorry with thank you. For instance if you are late to an event, thank the person if applicable for waiting for you, instead, of saying I am sorry.  Remember, it is all about elevating your perspective.
10. Listen as much as you advise.
11. Get organized – Do what you need to do to get your professional and personal life organized. Google how to get organized if you have to.
12. Make time to rest and to smell the flowers in life. Do not let your “go, go, go” life schedule let life pass you by.
13. Save money – There are so many methods out there that exist on the web that can assist you with this goal. Find one that works for you and be consistent.
14. Cut spending by learning to live within your means. Waste less, and save more.
15. With this New Year coming in you want to really work on finding a work life balance. To learn more about work life balance click here.
16. Self-Improvement – Do all that you can this year coming to make sure that you are a good partner, a good friend, a good employee, a good child, a good parent , a good relative, etc.
17. Make the resolve to make yourself uncomfortable in 2017 – Professionally, personally, and financially. Professionally put yourself out there especially to crowds you are not too familiar with.  Personally – ask yourself how I may be of service to myself and to the world around me.  Financially – learn how to make multiple streams of income.

As always I thank you for reading.  Happy New Year.

Until next time.  Take care and be true.
