Hey there, beautiful people! Can you believe it? We're at the finish line of 2023, and what a wild ride it's been! As we get ready to dive into the sparkling seas of 2024, let's have a little heart-to-heart about New Year's resolutions. Whether you're a resolution rookie or a goal-setting guru, this chat is for you! 🎉
The Big Question: To Resolve or Not to Resolve?
Let's start with a question: Do you usually make New Year's resolutions? If you do, how often do you stick to them? Be honest! No judgment here, we've all been there – super motivated in January, and by February, what resolution? 🙈
The Health & Fitness Tango
Every year, 'Get Healthy' and 'Get Fit' top the resolution charts. Sound familiar? But this time, let's shake things up a bit. How about we focus on small, sustainable changes rather than drastic transformations? Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day, and your dream bod won't be either. But hey, every step counts!
1. Start Small
Let's say you want to eat healthier. Maybe start by swapping out one snack for a healthier option. Love chips? How about trying some hummus with carrot sticks instead? Small changes are easier to stick with and can lead to big results over time. 🥕
2. Find a Workout Buddy
Everything's better with friends, right? Grab a buddy and make fitness fun. Whether it's a brisk walk in the park, a yoga class, or a dance-off in your living room – it's all about moving and grooving! 💃
3. Track Your Progress
Nothing fancy, just a simple tracker to jot down your daily activities. Seeing your progress can be super motivating. And on days when you're not feeling it, your log will remind you of how far you've come.
Vision Boards: Visualize to Materialize
Have you ever made a vision board? If not, you're in for a treat! A vision board is a powerful tool to help manifest your dreams and keep your eyes on the prize. It's like a Pinterest board, but IRL!
1. Gather Your Supplies
You'll need a board (a corkboard or poster board will do), magazines, printouts, stickers, markers – anything that inspires you. Think of it as an arts and crafts session where you get to map out your future. 🎨
2. Think and Reflect
What do you want to achieve in 2024? Better health, a new hobby, travel, career growth? Put it all on your board. This is your dream space – no dream is too big or too small.
3. Place It Where You'll See It
Your bedroom, your office, your kitchen – wherever you spend a lot of time. Let your vision board be a daily reminder of what you're working towards.
Making Resolutions Stick
Alright, we've all been guilty of abandoning our resolutions at some point. So, how do we make them stick this time around?
1. Be Realistic
Setting achievable goals is key. Climbing Mount Everest sounds cool, but maybe start with hiking a local trail first? 🏔️
2. Break It Down
Big goals can be overwhelming. Break them down into smaller, manageable tasks. Want to write a book? Start by writing a page a day.
3. Celebrate Small Wins
Got through a week of healthy eating? Celebrated a month of your new hobby? Pat yourself on the back! These milestones matter. 🎉
A Little Nudge for 2024
As we bid adieu to 2023, let's take a moment to appreciate our journey. The ups, the downs, the in-betweens – they've all shaped us. And now, we're stepping into 2024 wiser, stronger, and ready to conquer our dreams.
So, what's your vision for 2024? Are you ready to make it your best year yet? Let's do this together! And remember, no matter what your goals are, approach them with kindness towards yourself. You're doing amazing, sweetie!
Cheers to a fabulous New Year! 🥂
With love and sparkle,
Shari
Looking forward to 2024 and all the fashion expert advice you have to offer!!!
