Another year, another post.
The best part of the New Year is that it's the first of the month obviously and that it lands on a Monday. Not only is the beginning of a new year but also month and week! It just calls for a good year. Every year I usually make mental New Year goals for myself. However, this time around I would like to actually let you guys know.
Home-made meals || Unfortunately, 2021 was our downfall for eating out. We would spend roughly around $500-$700 a week. Yes, most of our money went towards, groceries and eating out. At the end of that year, we vowed to do better. In 2022, we did do better since I had to have home-made meals due to my pregnancy but there were times we would eat out. However, when I gave birth in Oct 2022 I did not cook until June 2023. Yeah, I know. My point is I would like to do better. I would like for my toddler to eat actual meals. Plus, it's hard to feed her when we go out to eat. Lately, I've been enjoying cooking dinner the only thing I hate is the lack of space we have. So, we’ll see how this goes. If you guys have any recipes send them my way, hehe.
Self Love || At the end of the year I noticed I lacked a lot of self-love. I noticed I didn't have any selfies or videos of anything really. My camera roll was nothing but cups and my daughter. I would like to change that and feel myself a little bit. However, in an unselfish way. My daughter will always be a priority and that will never change, I just have to add myself into the mix.
Make time for the things I love || This year I would love to give myself more time do to the things I love. That includes my blog, vlogging, and doing polymer clay. When I tell you, that I genuinely love those things. I truly do! They bring me so much joy.
Journaling || I realized journaling helps so much. I just wish to journal more than when I’m feeling “depressed.” Expressing myself in writing is therapeutic af.
Control my sugar || I know I can’t change everything overnight, but I do want to get into a better routine. A routine is a starter to control my sugar. While I transition into working out a routine/schedule. I can start cutting things out. My New Year goal is to cut out soda for now. I do have many more foods I want to cut out but slowly. I cut myself cold turkey last year and that hurt me mentally. I want to do it better this time.
With these 5 goals for the year, I hope to see positive change within myself. This year is the year of self-love and self-care. I hope you guys have an amazing year. I wish to hear about any resolutions you may have.
