WE SEE YOU 2020//NY MOTIVATION
Hey guys!
I just want to start off by saying...I am still shook it's actually 2020. I don't know if anyone else is because I keep getting the response like..."yea, its a new year..." and I am like "yea, but its actually 2020!" *everyone I literally come and contact to and have this convo with* "...yea..."
OKAY FINE DON'T BE SHOOK BECAUSE APPARENTLY YOU ALREADY KNEW THIS DAY WOULD COME
carrying on now.
Most of you guys that are seeing this, or reading this probably are coming from Instagram and you know this girl is all about goals. With that being said there is going to be some growth made within myself and my platform.
I am so excited for what this year has to offer. You guys have heard me say "You don't need a new year to see change." I am a big believer in starting new goals whenever you get that little bit of motivation you need to get going! So in other words all I am saying is, don't say "I'll start Monday." START NOW. However, a new year brings excitement. It feels like a completely clean slate and I am so ready to take on the year two thousand and twenty!!
MAKE THIS YEAR DIFFERENT FROM EVERY YEAR BEFORE
Honestly I want to make this seem more like a chitchat with you guys. I feel like this year I need to be more personable and to do that I have to explain where my growth is going to be, show some transparency and connect!
Let me just say that last year in starting this journey with my Instagram has helped my crawl out of my shell. I hated myself and the way I looked after gaining ninety pounds with pregnancy and honestly was so embarrassed to be showing my friends and family my weight loss because I felt guilty for gaining so much weight. Starting my Instagram page and receiving so much positive feedback, making so many new connections and being able to find other amazing girls out there who I can relate to has helped me so much. I am forever grateful for the chance 2019 gave me to pull Kayleen back to the surface.
2020 Bring it on
This is a new year full of opportunity as long as we choose to act on those given moments. Please read that again because this has been such a long life lesson for me that I am still working on. I let opportunities pass me by all the time. Why? Anxiety, laziness,Thinking there will be another one...ect. When that moment is given to me, I am going to take it.
If anything the years past have shown me how fast life goes and continues on. There is no more time to be wasted on not being me around everyone. This is huge for me. A big part of my life I felt like I had to contain certain parts of who I am with different people and honestly, you just get me.
Divide and Conquer
To be completely upfront with you, I had no motivation to set goals this year. This year felt so different and I couldn't figure out why. I felt like maybe this year needed to be one where I just let it happen and whatever comes will come. I wasn't sad, or feeling down, I just didn't feel like I usually do about new year resolutions and it took me by surprise. To be completely honest, this is the first year my husband and I have our sh** together and that was like putting us on a different planet. There was no chaos and weighted stress and so I pretty much was like "wait, what is this?" We have had so many years of moving, renovating, piling debt, weight loss, becoming parents and pretty much all the other life things that all of us get to go experience, but this year it all kind of leveled out. So, we are casually waiting for the next fast ball of "opportunity" and lessons learned to be thrown our way.
In confusion, sadness, happiness and any other emotion, I have found that setting goals gives me direction. When the new year starts it can feel so exciting and it can also feel like starting a new project. One of the best examples I can think of is organizing and deep cleaning a room. Every single time I get so overwhelmed and have no where to start. So I make piles, or in other words "goals."
As I am cleaning this room and setting up different piles I can see what I am working with. I have a clean clothes pile, dirty clothes pile, bathroom supplies pile, random toys I step on and need to go in Mavericks room pile. Now, relating this to goal setting I have my Mentality "pile" (if you will), Healthy pile, Spiritual pile, work pile and all the other piles I decide to make for myself. As your continue to clean the room, or work your way throughout the year you can see progress being made as you continue to work on each pile you have sorted out and organized for yourself. I know that when I have a huge project like organizing a bedroom, or tackling a new year, it is best for me to make a plan, sort out the different categories and work on each of them individually.
So just like every other year before, I wrote out my goals for 2020 into different categories. Some of them are small and some are big, the most important thing I have to remember is each of these goals are going to help me grow this year, they will challenge me and I can't wait to work each of them!
LET'S GET UP AND GET IT!
I Don't feel the need to share all of my goals, but I will share a few! I hope as I am on this new journey of 2020 and the choices I am making to better myself and challenge myself, you will follow along and join me!
I have a goal to drink a gallon of water a day. I am the worst at drinking water and I can say for the past 10 days I have either completed the gallon, or was just under consuming a gallon and I can see a huge difference already. I know how important it is to stay hydrated and each and every day, I haven't been the best example of that in the past, so here I am doing something about it.
This one is a tricky one. I want, TO WANT to eat healthier ALL THE TIME. I want to be that person who can sit next to those people eating Taco Bell *cough spencer cough* and want to eat something that is going to fuel my body. I have noticed that I have gotten into the mentality of treating myself and enjoying myself a little too comfortably and it has caused some unhealthy binge eating. This year I want to change my mentality on the way I view food. I feel like the last year and a half my eating habits have improved and my relationship with food has improved, but I want to do better and focus more on my nutrition.
The last goal I will share is I want to share this journey with more people. Knowing where I was at mentally before starting my Instagram page and feeling like I had no one to relate to was so hard for me. Becoming healthy, resurfacing the women you were before kids and combining it with the women you are after having a baby and navigating your way towards living an overall active and healthy lifestyle can be a battle, but when I found someone to connect with, saw those women I could relate to and followed their journey it helped me in so many different ways. I continue to follow so many powerful Men and Women who help motivate me in new goals. My only hope and dream is for me to be able to do the same for others.
MOTIVATE AND INSPIRE
You all know how important it is to me to help promote the opportunity each of us have to motivate and inspire others. Each of us has a gift to give and the ways that we choose to share them will help certain individuals at different times when they need them the most. I hope that I can be an encourager for those I come in contact with as they tackle this New Year. As you go on and achieve your goals, don't forget to celebrate others achievements too and cheer them on. This year can be so much different if we all come together and choose to motivate and inspire others.
Ya'll please just know how grateful I am for each and every one of you!
