New Decade!

/

It’s 2020, a new decade. It’s hard to believe the hype over Y2k was 20 years ago. If you know me or have followed me for any amount of time, you know I love a new year. I love the reset of goals and intentions. I love the house returning from Christmas chaos to orderly calm. I love the overall freshness of a new year.

I have set goals for myself as long as I can remember. In the last three years, I have worked on my goal setting with the Cultivate What Matters Powersheet. This has been a game changer not just for goals but for my life. The act of self-reflection in all of the areas of my life has been more enlightening and powerful than I could ever imagine.

Each year I set a word for the year as a point of focus. This year my word is purpose. As I was moving through my Powersheets I realized that while I am happy in a lot of areas of my life, I seem to have lost the purpose, or why, for the things I’m doing. This year I want to keep the purpose of my life in the front of my mind.

More specifcially, here are my goals of 2020, in no particular order:

  • Finances: Spend (or don’t spend) money in a way that aligns with our families long-term goals

  • Self-Care: Focus on self-care to be the best version of myself I can be for my family

  • Cultivate Relationships: Keep friends at the front of my mind. Spend quality time with my family both together and one-on-one.

  • Be more creative, more often

  • Live a healthy lifestyle to be healthy, not just to look better

  • Connect with Ted more

  • Create a home full of love not full of “stuff”

  • Make my family a priority in my actions and decisions

I created a vision board for my year ahead and set it as the desktop on my (personal) computer. It has been great seeing it as a reminder whenever I long on.

I know goals and resolutions, if you choose to call them such, are very cliche but for me, they work. I am looking forward to many great things ahead for 2020. I hope your year is off to a great start. What are some goals you’ve set for yourself or do you prefer to just wing it ;-)
