I am super pumped for the new year and I hope everyone else is. I really stressed myself out this December when listing out my New Year's resolutions. In the process of writing out all of my resolutions I ended up finding a loophole that made this new year one that I know will be successful. I decided to take the pressure off of myself on New Year's and have a set of New Year's resolutions that I would complete by the end of 2014. I took my New Year's resolutions and turned them in to goals for 2014.
I immediately felt more confident about what the new year had to offer.
New Year's resolutions are such a big hit because you get a feeling of having a fresh start once the clock strikes midnight. I am sure I am not the only one who realizes that you don't need a new year to start goals. New Year's is just the time of year that gives you a little motivation boost to change some of the things that you didn't enjoy in the previous 12 months. I initially had myself so stressed out trying to make sure that the beginning of 2014 would be perfect. My new year would have been a miserable one because my expectations for myself were unattainable for the amount of time that I had to achieve them. By changing my perspective I was able to enter the new year on a positive note. I felt excited about how the outcome of the year would be. The most amazing part of taking away the pressure of a perfect New Year's Day is that I still have the motivation and energy to fulfill my goals that I had on January 1!
Overall my attitude has been the main thing that has changed this year and simply doing that has already created amazing opportunities for me. I plan to up my game and post on my blog at least once a week. I also want to create more podcasts and videos. Most importantly I want to pour my heart out in everything I do and to follow my passion of creating unique blogs, podcasts and videos to help others by sharing tips, tricks, stories and strategies that I discover! Happy New Year's everyone and I look forward to writing more often this year! I have so much to share and by taking all of the negative pressure off of myself I am able to pursue my dreams at a pace that is attainable.
