New Year's Resolution 2020

2019, where did you go?! 2020 is hot on your tail! A new decade is quickly approaching and not only am I reflecting on this past year, but I’m also reflecting on the past ten. A new year (and a new decade) always offers the opportunity to look back, reset, and push forward with new goals and outlooks.

Over the past few years, I’ve worked really hard on myself. I have cycled through jobs, I went to therapy, I got my finances in order, I paid off my student loan, I traveled, I moved out on my own and eventually in with Andrew, I started evaluating my own learned thoughts and actions, I opened myself up, and I started to strive for a healthier and happier life. And over the past few years, I’ve chronicled my resolutions in blog posts: 2019 - The Year of Self-Worth, 2018 - The Year of Experiences, and 2017 - The Year for Me. Some years have been more successful than others, but I’ve tried my best to better myself with each new year.

When I started to think about what I envisioned for myself in 2020, I couldn’t help but think about where I fell short over the last couple of years and the goals I didn’t reach for as much as I wish I did. There are certain areas of my life where I got lazy and complacent, and some of my personal goals have fallen in that category. So that’s why I’ve decided 2020 will be The Year of Ambition. It’s time to start focusing on my dreams and striving to achieve them to the best of my ability. I want to write more, I want to travel more, I want to read more, and I want to feel ambitious in my pursuit of success. I have such big dreams for myself and my future and I want to know that I did everything in my power to fulfill them.

2019 brought me so many wonderful memories and moments, and I can happily reflect back on what this last year brought me. But I have a great feeling about 2020. I feel like this next year will be mine for the taking!

What are your resolutions for 2020?
