Since we are in our new year, that means it's a new year to challenge ourselves and to get out of our comfort zones. Instead of just setting new years resolutions that most people have a hard time sticking to by the end of the month. Why don’t you try to think of goals you want to achieve this year and think of things that will actually challenge you to be a better version of yourself than you are. The important part of goal planning and creating new challenges for yourself isn’t just about making millions of dollars, or to stress yourself out with a list of all these desires. The purpose of having goals and planning them out strategically is to help you to grow as a person, to get more educated, be ambitious, to help push you to put yourself in new situations, get out of your comfort zone, and just look at how you can have more of the joys you want in your life now because life is happening now. Listen to my big 3 takeaways and the key to hitting your goals this year that I discussed in this episode and lets get ready to crush our goals this year!

Think of a word that describes your theme for this new year. My word for 2020 was acceptance because i had to accept that I lost my job, had to postpone my wedding several times, accept I have gut and thyroid issues that I had to get professional help with, and learning to accept every single plan I made that I couldn’t have because of the pandemic, that word helped me cope after I did my own mourning and realized I needed to take massive action to be in the energy and mood I needed to be in, and to have the right mindset in creating this podcast to help be here and inspire all of you. By having a word as your theme for the year it can help keep you accountable when you feel at a loss and need something to go back to , to remind you what your goals are and what you want in this life, and what will help you to move forward from new challenges. My word for 2021 is Opportunity! I chose opportunity as my word because I’m going to create new opportunities for myself for my business to grow bigger, new opportunities to meet new people virtually through new guest interviews of this podcast, opportunities to connect to loved ones, opportunities to continue to work on reaching my optimal health, opportunities to continue my education in personal development, adventure opportunities, relationship opportunities to continue to learn how to be the best partner to my husband, and any lesson that comes my way. I will look at every lesson as an opportunity to listen, learn, apply, and then act. When you choose your word remember this is your life. What is important to me will not be important to you. So think of what is important to you and get excited for the new opportunities coming your way. 2021 is going to be a beautiful year so go with the flow, listen to what you need, do what you can control, take action, be kind to yourself, learn to relax, prioritize your health, and remember to Design Your Happiness!
