New Year’s Resolution: My Word for 2019.

January 2, 2019

/ fitnessgirl talkhealthinteriorsoffice

Happy New Year! If you’ve been around for a while you know instead of a New Year’s resolution, I like choosing a word of positivity to be the guiding force in my new year. (See 2018, 2017)

I think it’s the perfect way to set a tone for your upcoming year without a list of intimidating goals. I like to choose a word that can be incorporated into many aspects of my life and that will help me grow and mature as a person.

This year, I found a word that I think will play off of my 2018 progress and help me reach many goals.

Without further adieu my word is..

DISCIPLINE

So why did I choose discipline? Last year my word was Consistency and I think it was a great start for the changes I’m making in my life. As I’m getting older, I needed help staying more consistent in my routines, my work and in my life. I definitely achieved this goal of developing routines but this year I wanted to work on the discipline to stick to them, discipline to do what’s right for best self and discipline to be the best I can be. It’s kind of like a New Year’s reslotuion but also a simple way to better yourself throughout the year.

Here are a few ways I’m going to incorporate discipline into different aspects of my life.

Mind.

I want to use discipline to help me achieve more happiness, restfulness and less anxiety. I’m a big ‘Yes‘ person (if you can’t tell by my blog name ha!) and I find that I can get overwhelmed. I want to use discipline to say no more often. I also want to use discipline to help me create more routines at home giving me more time to relax and unwind with my family. I also want the discipline to spend more time with those who truly matter. I shed some toxic relationships in 2018 and I feel so fresh moving into the New Year. I want to continue this and spend all my possible free time in the best ways.

Body. 

In 2018, I definitely made strides towards a healthier, more balanced lifestyle. While I changed in many ways, I still need more discipline to fully reach my goals. I’m excited to build off the progress I started and better myself more this year. I also want to have more discipline in my eating habits. I learned so much about what my body needs for fuel, what foods are awful for my PCOS and what helps my body function but I wasn’t that great at sticking to these things all the time. I want the discipline to feed my body what it needs and stay away from what it doesn’t.

New Year's ResolutionNew Year's Resolution

Now that you know why I picked discipline, here are a few ways I plan on completing these goals:

  • I started BBG again this week! I’m so excited for round 2 of this workout. If you missed this journey last year, I have lots of posts about it under my ‘health‘ tab. I love BBG because it’s 3 x 28-minute workouts that you do a week. They are doable but achieve SO much. I started on Saturday and I’m still sore on Wednesday. It’s tough but the results are amazing. Since I travel for work so much and work from home other days, I like having a workout plan I can do at home.
  • We are starting Whole 30 tomorrow! I am very nervous about this and I don’t know how it will play out but I’m excited to try. I’ll have a full post on why we’re doing this, our plan and more.
  • I finally set up my little office! As you can see above, it’s not 100% ready but so, so close. I love having a desk area to keep me organized.
  • I also have been working on my little workout area. As you’ve probably seen I have this pink treadmill and I LOVE it. Having one at home makes working out so much easier. I also added this workout bench and a few other things, I will have a full post on this soon!
  • I also plan to stop doing so much during the weekend. I have learned that I need a lot of downtime and rest to stay sane, something that has definitely changed as I’ve gotten older.

A few other small, personal resolutions and goals for this year:

  • Be more organized and smart with my time.
  • Stay ahead of the game, plan more and do less.
  • Send out weekly emails again with blog updates and exclusive content – sign up here! 
  • Stop letting my closet get so messy during the week – WHY IS IT SO HARD TO HANG UP CLOTHES?!
  • Spend more time outside with the dogs.
  • Eat less dairy.
  • Go to bed earlier.
  • Post on my blog 3 x a week, even when I have a very busy week.
  • Pitch myself to more brands that I already love and hopefully bring you guys more partnerships, coupon codes and more.
  • Be better at staying on top of my DMs and comments.

As cheesy as it is, I love the idea that a new year brings! A fresh start, the feeling of hopefulness, the possibility of so many possibilities! I usually hate January, but I am going to embrace it this year. What is your new year’s resolution or goal? Do you pick a word to live by? I would love to hear it below! Thanks for all your support last year, I’m excited to see what this year holds. XO

Soaking up everyday is easy with this sweet boy. He’s pretty much all smiles as long as the attention is all on him. He really loves eating, babies and Doodle. He’s scooting and already trying to get into everything. Lucky for us, so far he pretty much just goes in circles. His first tooth popped through and he has a little bit of very blonde hair. ⁣
