2020 GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS

We're quarter into the new decade and here I am, just now blogging my 2020 goals. You know what they say though - better late then never. I should add "more positive thinking" to my list since I've got such a good start on it already.

I tried making new year resolutions before - that didn't help. I tried not making them - that didn't help either. I'm back to trying again, but now it's a little different. Looking back, I realize I haven't been making my resolutions with the intent of keeping them. Floating in that invincible "new year, new me" vibe, I thought everything was possible; until it wasn't. Until it took time, and energy, and willpower to change anything. That's when it starts to go downhill and the wait for the new year to start over begins. Man, that willpower though, gotta work on that.

Here are top five goals for 2020:

BEING INTENTIONALLY PRESENT
This one will be a challenge for sure. Putting my phone down more and picking it up less. I don't want to end up with with an empty and unfulfilled life with only myself to blame. I want to see and experience more things outside of the screen. I want to find that childhood eagerness and zest for life and revive it.

COMMUNICATE MORE
I've become terribly bad with keeping up communications with people. Friendships and relationships are work, hard work. Any relationship can whither without constant watering, and while some I didn't mind losing in the past, others I didn't realize I lost until it was too late.

OVERCOME FEAR OF FAILURE
Let me tell you how surprised I was when I noticed how much I struggle with the fear of failure. I got to the point where I would rather not do something then do it and fail. "Done is better then perfect" is my new life motto and I can't wait to overcome this.

SELF DISCIPLINE
I know I have willpower in me, but I can't remember the last thing I was so willing to change for. Until now, that is, and that's a better me. I am working on creating a 5 and a 10 year plan, and there are some very inspiring goals on there!

DOCUMENT LIFE MORE
Pictures, journaling, sketching - I want to do so much more of it! Reminiscing the past pulls the heartstrings and I'm so here for it. Happy or sad, I'll take it all.
