It’s good to have goals for life, but don’t let your hefty goals weigh you down this year. It’s predicted that only 8% of New Year’s Resolutions are reached. I am all for goal setting and planning but think about what you are setting yourself up for in the new year.

Failure should be apart of every plan. No one gets it perfect the first time around. Allow for self-love and grace. Give yourself permission to fail, reconsider, and change course.  

Failing does not make you a failure.

Perhaps the new year is a time to re-examine your priorities. It could be time to shift your mindset into healthy, positive thinking. To start seeing yourself and the people around you as good, even when it’s hard.

If you are getting hung up on goals this year, keep it simple and achievable. Let yourself off the hook, and don’t place your self-worth on whether or not you can reach a goal. There is so much more to you then your ability to reach goals.

For me, the year of 2019 will represent a year of Trust.

Trusting in the plan for my life. That the tasks and dreams placed on my heart will take form. Not on mine time, but when the time is right. Trusting that I have what it takes to carry out those dreams. I will let go of the fear of failure that holds me back and fully embrace my gifts.

What does 2019 represent for you?

Is this the year of new beginnings? Finding a place of healing? Rebuilding of relationships?

Maybe it is letting go of fear that holds you back from your purpose in life.

A new year can represent many things. Whatever it represents for you make it a time of self-care and set yourself up for positive change in the coming year.
