Happy New year Darlings!
So excited to have made it into the New Year. Had about enough of the gloomy news and energy of 2016. Ringing in the New Year with my family, those who traveled back at least, the excitement and energy around me right now is so electrifying it's almost magical and I'm so in love with it all.

Something about the New year and the celebrations makes me feel like I can do anything and I'm more than ready to face everything. But, first, those resolutions. I am tired of seeing people, my former self included, make impossible New Year resolutions and, sometime in the middle of January, give up on those resolutions.

Why not give up on the whole resolution thing and set some serious goals that are backed by plans that you can actually see through? So for 2017, I have decided against my normal method of making New Year resolutions and then building my goals around those resolutions. This year, I have decided to set my goals from the start and tackle them through the year. That way, I'm sure that I'm starting the year on a solid note and not wasting any time.

Instead of setting general goals, I decided to divide them into different categories to enable me have a better picture of what I want to achieve and be more focused on each goals. To do this, I divided my life into the various parts that I wanted to work on(personal, professional, spiritual, financial, etc), then I wrote my desired goals for each of those parts, and then I sorted those goals into the order I wanted to accomplish them along with dates where possible.

I further broke the year into twelve(for each month of the year), for monthly reviews to keep me on top of my goals and my performance, and a further four quarters for quarterly reviews of my progress. All of these is to make them easily achievable for me and make me hold myself accountable.

I hope this inspires you to set some goals in a way that they will be easier for you to achieve. I encourage you to take some time to make plans and set goals that will add joy to your life. 2017 is ours. Let's go get this!!
Have a great week!💋
