Hey crybabies. This is my first post ever. I just wanted to chat with you guys really quickly. I wrote a quick little note for this year and hopefully, it will put you in a positive & happy mood. 

-

Did you know most people break their resolutions by Valentine's Day? I decided to make you a list so you won't be one of them. These tips will focus on your inner being, self-motivation, personal goals and just to be a better you this year.

*First things first: Review last year.

In order to move forward with yourself and improve, you first have to know where you've been. Look back on what you did wrong last year and also what you did right. Think of what you could have done differently in some circumstances to make it more positive. 

Write down a list of some things that worked right for you in 2018 on one side and a list of things that didn't on the other. When you see it in a piece of paper in front of you, it really helps you and allows you to make specific changes to start your year off knowing what you want to keep or change in your life. Visualizing and looking back is key to improving your new year.

*Put yourself first this year

I can't stress you enough how important this one is. You may think it's a super simple goal but you'd be surprised how many people don't put themselves first. Whether it's just canceling plans because you don't feel comfortable about certain people going or situations - or just remembering to take care of yourself during busy days with a simple face mask or bath time. Drink water, meditate, focus on eating right and exercising. 'You' time is extremely important. Even if it's just for 30 minutes. Spending time on yourself each day will make you a better person mentally, emotionally and physically. At the end of the day, you only have yourself. Take care of yourself!

*Have better goals

Why better? I mean well-thought-out, realistic and focused goals. Don't just say "I want to start a business/Instagram page/website/or other, this year." Be more in-depth. Tell yourself why you want to do it, will it make you happier, how you will get there, what you have to accomplish before doing it, etc. Make goals.

For example, if you want to start a company (keep in mind that starting a company is a topic and you should have actual goals under that topic) write down 10 goals under that topic. That's the way I look at it. Your list should look something like this.

This year I want to start my own company

1. Save up 'this amount' before starting ___

2. Brainstorm names and designs for my company

3. I want to start off by selling these items ____

4. Find a platform to host my website and sell my products/create website

5. Create an instagram/facebook/twitter/pinterest

6. Set up a launch date

7. I will try to get x amount of orders within the first week of launching

8. Host a giveaway or contest the first day of launching

and so on..... *keep in mind this is an example, you can do it with anything like starting a gym goal, moving to a new state, etc.

Writing down detailed goals is extremely powerful. 

Everything you think, say or feel becomes your reality. Every single thought that comes into your head has an impact on you and everything you write down has even a stronger impact. You can create your own desired reality by planning out realistic goals.

*Last but not least, stay positive and happy

I'm all about having high vibrations. Blast your favorite music, watch a movie/funny video that makes you happy or even play with your pet more! The higher the frequency of your energy/vibration, the lighter you feel in your physical, emotional, and mental state. You experience greater personal peace, love, joy, and clarity. Anything that brings you joy will increase your energy and raise your vibrations which leads you to succeed more - it's true. Your life flows with your vibrations and you will manifest whatever you desire with complete ease. Overall, your life will be extremely positive and happy and you'll feel that every obstacle coming your way will get accomplished easily :)

I hope you reach all of your goals this year and have an inspiring, fabulous year!
