New Year, New Resolutions! Welcome to 2016

Happy New Year!

I love the start of a new year. I like having a chance to reflect on the previous year - on everything I've done, accomplished, and learned - and to look forward to all of the exciting things coming up and what I would like to focus on.

As someone who enjoys making lists - and checking things off of them, I love to write down my goals for the year. This year, I'm writing them down in my planner under the categories of personal goals, heart and spirit goals, financial goals, and work, career, or study goals.


Personal Goals

For my personal goals, I want to take care of my body by staying active and strong. I want to stay hydrated by drinking the recommended amount of water each day. I also want to stay organized and explore my creative side.


Heart and Spirit Goals

This year I really want to focus on what God has planned for my life. I want to build my relationship with Him and learn to rely on Him more.


Financial Goals

It's important to me to work hard and to be financially responsible. I learned that 20% of your income should go to savings, so this year I want to make a more conscious effort to save money.


Work, Career, or Study Goals

For my work goals, I want to continue to have experiences that benefit my professional development and build my resume. I also want to stay on top of all of my school assignments and work ahead.



I would love to know what your goals and resolutions are for 2016! Let me know in the comments below.
