2015 GOALS

Hey y'all!! Can you believe it's 2015?! Let me preface this post by saying I will be rambling for 99% of it, so if you can have patience with me... here I go ;)

I know people say this all the time but I honestly felt like 2014 was a blur. One minute we were ringing in the new year and the next it was Christmas. I have never had a year fly by so fast, and it made me realize 2015 I want to slow down, cherish moments and stop looking forward so much. That sounds strange since I"m writing a post about 2015 goals, but one of my main goals this year is to not plan and look ahead so much. Stop, focus on the moment and be thankful. In 2014 I turned 28 and at first I thought... ugh so.old. (I know, don't judge me, that's still very young) and then someone said, be thankful you're 28. Some people never live to see that age. SO TRUE! Why would I ever complain about being 28?! This year I want to focus on first and foremost my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am learning every moment of every day that without Him I can do nothing. Without the Lord I am nothing. Without his Grace and Love and Faithfulness where would I even be? To me, that is the most wonderful place to be in, looking to Him for all things in my life. 

Now you're probably wondering when the heck I'm going to write about my goals... ok ok. Here I go:

1. Study and focus on the Lord every day, even if it's for 5 minutes in the morning.

2. Be kind. Choose to show God's love towards people. Everyone has an off day, so I want to learn to cut people slack. (Unless you're that idiot driver who cuts me off... then no.) ;)

3. Focus on HEALTH (A whole different post). I don't want to look at health as skinny, or a # on the scale this year. I want to feel good. Feel healthy. Have energy. Exercise. Look at food as nutrition.

4. Workout as much as possible. I don't want to necessarily put a # per week on this because I don't feel like that's realistic. Every week or day will hold a different challenge, but I want to focus on working out as a somewhat priority in my life this year.

5. STOP PLANNING AHEAD! Now I know there is a degree of planning that is necessary as an adult, I get that. But I have a tendency to plan so much that when things don't go exactly how I think they should it throws me in a fit. No, seriously. I throw grown-up tantrums. It's a problem... ;) I want to just take each day as it comes. Enjoy every single moment. The good, the bad... everything. I know who holds my future and I want to rest in that.

6. Be more spontaneous. I have a tendency to stick to a schedule, go to bed around the same time and during the "work week" prefer staying "on schedule" I do find this to be important but I also want to be more open to randomly doing different things even if it's on a "work day" :)

7. Travel! I LOVE traveling and experiencing new and familiar places. I want to travel more even if it's a short weekend trip!

That's all for now. I'm sure there's bigger and smaller goals but for now this is good. I will update as the year goes on!! :) What are your big and small goals for 2015?!
