Have you changed your lifestyle yet?

By all means necessary, 2016 taught everyone a valuable lesson...

 
 

When 2016 grabbed me, there was one thing that kept me from remaining stagnant and propelled my momentum forward without even knowing it.

My vision board. When life takes hold of you it can overcome your mind with soo many thoughts and make you caught up in the chase. Brain fog is real!!
My vision board reminded me of what it was that I wanted to do with my life in the next 1 to 5 years.. especially at a time where I wanted to do absolutely nothing at all.

If I would have simply made a “resolution” to make changes towards my life, I would still be in the same place I was before. Maybe even regressed…

I changed my lifestyle. I gave myself a vision.
 
 

I made a promise to myself and structured my life in a way that I could hold myself accountable for obtaining my goals. 

One lifestyle change that I’ve managed to successfully incorporate is going for what I want. For a long time I allowed fear of the unknown to keep me from doing things that I wanted to try. When I let go of the fear associated with failing, I welcomed the experience with open arms and less anxiety. Granted, I still have moments of self-doubt.. which is where a group of fabulous friends come into play!

Now fear and anxiety are seen as boats simply passing me by.

Below are 6 lifestyle changes that I have already incorporated, or plan to incorporate into my routine this year:

1.        Incorporate exercise into my daily routine.

2.       Daily bible reading/devotional

3.        Continuing to strive for my goals in spite of Fear that may try to linger.

4.      Be truly open to communication and providing positive vibes wherever I go.

5.        Continue planning and lying down a financial foundation for myself.

6.      Continued self-care: hobbies, friends, traveling, etc.

I will add or change the priority of these items as time goes on…

What lifestyle changes will you commit to in the new season?

 
 
 

Be Beautiful.
