Ready for 2 0 1 6

Now that we're counting down the hours left in 2015 it's stereotypical of me to look back at this year and figure out what I can do better . There's not a lot that I would change about this year because I was blessed with so much more than I could have asked for . However, I've come to the conclusion that resolutions don't work and instead I should be setting goals for myself (realistic and not generic goals) 

2016 GOALS

love myself more 

I tend to forgot that I still have to love myself more . I've been neglecting loving myself because I feel like I need to love others before myself, but I've realized how can I love more if I don't love myself? I want to do the things that I love to do again. I've adjusted to believe that I'm "just a wife and mother" role and though that is a huge part of me it's not all of me. 

love my husband more

Every year, we struggle to find the balance between being friends and husband and wife . This year was especially hard because we had to shift our focus to our active toddler and I forgot to work on us.    I want to be able to go on more date nights with just us , confide more in him ( I tend to keep things to myself) and focus on him being my absolute best friend. 

love my child more

Haidyn is the center of our world, but there's so much more that I would love to do with her  and show her. I don't spend a lot of time already with her since I work and she goes to school, but I'd like to cherish the moments that I have with her, even more than I currently do. 

be present 

I want to take more time to be there for the people that need me the most and that have been there for me. I want to focus on what matters in life, which is the people I love and giving them my undivided attention and love. Money can't buy happiness. 

slow down 

I tend to believe that the faster I work the faster I will be done and that's never the case. I want to slow down this upcoming year and smell the roses if you will. I never enjoy the small things because I'm too busy focusing on the bigger picture.

worry less 

I'm a worry wart at it's finest. I can't help but worry about everything and anything that MIGHT happen. Those things usually never happen and I miss out on a great chance. 

seek more adventures /try new things

I like my safe zone and if something is out of the ordinary for me , I would rather just sit it out instead of trying something new. My husband is a thrill seeker that married a safe girl. Most times I feel awful because I won't even try it. Not anymore.

I'm ready 2016! 

Happy New Year Everyone!
