2017 Goals. 2016 Reflections
2:37 PM
My 2016 "accomplishments" weren’t a part of my
plan to “set goals at the end of 2015” and accomplish them. I’ve always
wrote down monthly goals or To Do’s (particularly on Target dollar spot
stationary or other writing tidbits).
I came across a post on Instagram that asked,
“What did you accomplish in 2016”. For some reason it seemed like a hard
question. Initially I thought, “I didn’t accomplish anything”, but what
I'm learning is that small changes matter. I’m not perfect by a long shot. I am
human. Simply put, I’m a person who still has a lot of growing to do. I think
my biggest challenge is I am so hard on myself (especially when it comes to
accomplishing goals). In the past, I found myself getting frustrated
with the process rather than getting excited about the small steps and the
growth that comes along the way.
Constant reminder: Trust. My. Process.
So as I reflect on 2016, I’ve realized that I
learned a lot about myself and life. I also know what I can look forward to in 2017.

is okay to “feel how you feel”. I don’t have to change my thoughts or feelings
based off someone else or their desire to be pleased.
I
can say NO (without being a bad person)!
Take
care of me |Mentally, physically,
emotionally, spiritually
