Saying goodbye to people, places, experiences or even a year
is always hard, especially when we grow into routines of the day to day. But
with the start of a new year taking the time out to reflect on some of the
highlights and lowlights of the year is an essential way to start fresh.
Accomplishments …
Personal Growth: This
year I learned a lot about myself and what makes “ME” happy. I stopped trying to do things that pleased others and
focused on what I enjoy most. Often we tend to put others first and put our
dreams to the back burner but I learned that I can balance my goals and still
maintain healthy relationships with others without taking away from things that
I like doing. When I was able to do this I got a better understanding of what I
truly want out of life.
Educational Growth: As
a grad student, working full time, I struggle day to day to make time for self
care, family, a social life and television(lol); all while maintaining good
grades. But I can proudly say that I am doing it and getting it done. Being a
student requires a lot of sacrifices but one thing that I learned is to not
sacrifice is my “Happiness”. Finding
a balance to make time for my educational goals is not only important to me now
but it is important to my future self because it is laying down a foundation
for me for a better future.
Blogging: This
year I finally started my blog and I could not be any happier with it. Blogging
has been something that I have wanted to do for years now but I always held
myself back from pursuing it. I use to think that in order to be a blogger you
would need a lot money, clothes, friends, etc. However, I find it to be the
exact opposite, blogging is so much more. Since I have started this journey I
found out that all you truly need is inspiration. What I love most about
blogging is that it inspires me to be creative and I can only hope that the
content that I create will inspire others too.
Goals for 2017 …
Without putting to
much pressure on the future, a few goals that I would like to accomplish are…
-
Continue my personal and educational growth.
-
Nurture my adventurous side and travel
more.
-
Exercise and focus more on healthy lifestyle
habits.
