Living in Alignment: New Year's Resolutions for a Balanced Life

Do you believe in New Year’s resolutions? 🎊 Late to the game with my New Year’s post -- mainly because this time of year is digital detox time for me; I’m literally still responding to “Happy New Year!” texts today, ha. 😂 But that goes perfectly with my biggest resolution for 2020: To get MORE done while working *less*. To listen to my body more when it says “Jessie, you’ve been staring at this screen too long” and swap my laptop for my paint set or a paperback book. To do more of the things that make me feel like I’m living in alignment, even if those are things that don’t make me money (which can be challenging when you own a business!). 🎨 2019 was a huge year for me in terms of growth, both personally (got engaged + upped my self-care!) and professionally (my best biz year by far!), but as humans we are always evolving and, hopefully, improving. 💪 A few (of the many) other ways I hope to improve and live more in alignment with my true self = ✨ No more giving up nights & weekends to work (#1 goal!) ✨ Sign up for more projects with @bestfriendsanimalsociety + @newyorkcares ✨ Read a paperback for 15 minutes before bed (currently reading “Idiot” by @lauraclery, so funny!) ✨ Swap my nightly junk food binge with a healthy tea ritual ✨ Yoga at least 3x/week (instead of 3x/month) ✨ More biz growth through *collaborations* (fun & effective!) ✨ Focus more on intention-based trips (like creative retreats & impact trips vs simply exploring) ✨ Be more generous with my time 👇 By the way, I totally get what people mean when they say they don’t believe in New Year’s resolutions. We shouldn’t wait for the new year to make change; however, there is something about opening a new planner and hanging a blank calendar on the wall that makes you feel like you can tweak your story and put something more inspiring on those blank pages. #BeyondTheGuidebook #DontWonderWhatIf ___ * * * #Newyearnewyou #newyearnewyou2020 #newyearsresolutions #newyearsresolution2020 #personaldevelopmentgoals #mypersonaljourney #letsdothis💪
