Welcome 2016 with Open Arms!

I had a fantastic 2015. And 2016 will be even better!

I have big dreams, big goals. I have places I want to go and things I want to do. I want to better myself as a person. I have decided on 3 words to focus on this year. 

DISCIPLINE

CONSISTENCY

COMPASSION

I was thinking long and hard about the words I want to focus on in order to meet my goals. These are the top 3 and I am going to post them on sticky notes all over the house so that they are constantly in my thoughts. 

Discipline- in my meditation and mindfulness practice. In my fitness routines. In taking care of myself. I want to develop this important skill so that I can be the best me that I can be!

Consistency- a word that often scares me! I am letting go of the constant label that I place on myself, that I am not a consistent person. I can be what I want to be, and this year I want to be consistent. 

Compassion- for myself, and for those around me. If I can feel compassion for complete strangers, I should be able to apply the same for myself and those I love the most. 

I have goals to grow my health and fitness business this year. I am going to make it a priority so that I can have the freedom of time to do what I want to do. I have 2 passions- helping people like me discover their fullest potential in health, and working with preschoolers. This year I want to use my job of helping others with their health and fitness goals to create a sustainable and passive income, so that I may work with preschoolers part time and take away the stress of having a full time job as a teacher. 

I have goals to update our home. We may be in this home through the next several years (maybe while the kids are still in school) but eventually we want to own a large piece of land with cows and chickens and fruit trees and bees. In order to be ready for our dream home, we need to take care of the home we are in, and be ahead of the game. In the past, we have made some mistakes with our home investing but this year we are smarter and we will work harder. 

I have goals to create a deeper sense of understanding within myself. To know my truest self from within. I want to develop a meditation and prayer practice. This year I am going to make it happen. 

Today's blog post is an important one. I am going to print it out and hang it on the wall in my office. I have big goals for my life and I am making the plans I need to get there.
