Sometimes I feel like there is no point in making new years resolutions, in the first place why do you have to wait a whole year to make these resolutions? Why don’t I do this say monthly or even maybe daily/whenever is necessary? Secondly I feel like I always place such high demands on myself for the year that I end up not keeping most of them and then disappointing myself in the end, which never feels good!  So this year, i’m not going to beat myself up about anything, this is what i’d like to do, i’ll do my best but if I was not able to do it all, oh well. Life, after all, is about giving it your best shot! I am also setting more realistic goals for myself! I decided to give This Is Essential‘s blog post a read to help me out; 8 Categories to consider when goal setting.

Here’s what I’ve come up with!

Career

Take on Jobs I enjoy

Don’t allow yoursel to get de valued- KNOW YOUR WORTH & STICK TO IT

Relationships

Don’t be afraid to let go of  any type of relationships that are toxic to my soul.

Invest in people who invest in you

Money

Self

Learn to love myself and be happy with myself at every stage of my life
