5 New Years Goals for Twenty Nineteen
The one thing I am a big believer for is that you don’t have to wait until a new year begins to start completing your goals or striving for them. I am always making goals based on where I am presently and where I want to go or where I need to be.
I wanted to share some goals and intentions I have for the new year and explain why they mean so much to me and our journey here for the #shikachicafam
1. Improving my wellness
This is something that I have talking about more and more openly on my Instagram as well as on the blog, wellness. Healthy mind, healthy body and you are able to achieve just about anything. I would like to go into the new year being more aware of my mental and physical health and being more proactive with it. I would love to meditate once a day for 10- 15 mins, workout 4 times a week to not only help my weight goal but also my endometriosis, and lastly I would like to eat more vegetables and lower my sugar ( this means fewer pops and juices and more water).
Now a goal needs to be measurable so you can be held accountable and also understand if I am on track. Here are how I will make it measurable:
- I will workout 4 times a week for 40mins to an hour
- I will have 2 liters of water a day
- I will only have a pop once a week
- I will meditate in the morning before I start my day so I am held accountable
- I will talk to someone once a month about how I feel ( this can be in my support system)
- I will have a vegetable with 2 out of 3 meals I have
- I will lose 10-15 pounds in the next three months and maintain it through a healthy and balanced lifestyle
2. Save more
I think one of the biggest lessons I learned in the past year is that 60% of the stuff I do have I do not need. Going into the new year I want to save more money and/or spend it where it can bring my value in the long run. I would love to work towards a more minimalistic lifestyle. Here is how I will measurably succeed my goals:
- I will remove my storage in 6 months, sell, keep or get rid of the stuff I own in storage
- I will save 30% of what I make for emergencies and other investments
- Get rid of 3 garbage bags of clothes every season
- I will only go out with friends 3 times a month ( coffee or lunch)
- I will make my lunch every day at home and have once a week eat out
- I will make a spending allowance per month ( I was thinking 100$ for things I don’t need but want per month)
3. Connect with my online tribe more
One of my biggest challenges and accomplishments I look forward to the new year and connecting with you all even further through different ways. I am so excited to launch various projects for this month to teach, connect and help the content creating community. Now I can not talk about the main project year however, I will tell you how I will do that with the things I can chat about it:
- I want to help 30-50 people with my social media mentoring program
- Help 200 people with the Instagram mentoring program
- Successfully launch Spring 2019 BlogIt tour
- Meet up with more of you in person
- Make a traveler content creating meet and greet
- Create different content daily to connect with you all
4. Try Something New
Human beginnings feel uncomfortable and usually do not like change. However, I think change is important for you to grow as an individual. So for the new year, I think to myself, what will I do that I have never done before that will help me grow as a person. Here are some measurable goals:
- Learn how to be a good swimmer
- Go to southeast Asia for the first time and traveling there for at least a month
- Travel to 3 different continents in 2019
- Create content every single day
- Road trip for a week somewhere
- Go to a week spiritual and mediational retreat
5. Spend more time with important people in my life
I think one of the hardest things to balance is spending time with your loved ones in your life. I noticed there was so much going on last year and I loved every bit of it. I think what would make it better is trying to spend time with loved ones more. I would love to go for walks with my partner, turn off my phone for an hour and just enjoy someone’s company. I love social media however sometimes you can appreciate it, even more, when you take some time away from it every now and then. Here are my measurable goals on how I will achieve it:
- Spend time with my partner 1 hour a day without being on my phone
- See my family once a month
- Message my closest friends at least 2 times a month
Hope these goals have inspired you and think about measurable goals while you get ready for another amazing chapter in your life, 2019. Happy new year!
