5 Tips On Smashing Your New Year’s Resolutions

How many times have you prepared for a new year with your list of aspirations, you attended a fancy vision board party in hopes to excel in New year and before you could even make it to Martin L. King Day, you’ve lost a sense of direction towards your goals? IT CAN’T JUST BE ME?? I’m not sure about you but I was fed up with being stuck in the same position. Not sticking to my goals have stopped me from living the life I’ve always envision for myself. Here’s 5 tips that are helping me smash my New Year resolutions.

1.     BE CLEAR AND INTENTIONAL.
When thinking about all the goals that you want to accomplish, be specific with each goal. For me, I would be too general about my goals and it causes me to be all over the place! For example, if attending school is one of your goals, here’s how you would write that. In 2020, I plan on attending Grambling State University, where I will be majoring in Mass Communication! Being specific about your goals will help you get a step closer to achieving them.

2.     CONSISTENCY IS KEY
I know this is a “Easier Said Than Done” tip but it’s the truth! Consistency is the foundation of tackling a goal. Create yourself a routine or a schedule that will get you closer to your goal and chip away at it until the goal is accomplished. Remember, it’s not an overnight process but it’ll be worth it!

3.    LET YOUR CIRCLE HOLD YOU ACCOUNTABLE
This is one of my favorite tips because it’s a “2 for 1”! Let me explain! This tip is not only going to give you the support you need but it’s also going to force you to re-evaluate the people in your circle. The people within your circle care about what you’re working towards and want to help you in any way possible. Now, if you have someone in mind and you’re thinking to yourself, this person isn’t helpful and is very negative when I speak about my goals, remove them from your circle immediately! The journey is already difficult, it’s no need to carry around unnecessary weight.


4.    KEEP YOUR GOALS SOME WHERE YOU CAN SEE THEM
Before I truly understood the benefits of vision boards, I would laugh at people when they would invite me to their vision board parties. Yeah, I was one of those individuals. I have grown and realized that I am someone who must see my goals on a daily basis. One of my goals on my vision board is to read one book per month. I'm currently reading Becoming by Michelle Obama and let's just say this book is what I need to start my new year off right! Having that goal on your wall is a constant reminder of what you’re working towards and will keep you focus.

5.    CONFIDENCE IN YOUR YOURSELF, LEVEL INFINITY
This is the most important rule. You must believe in yourself when no one else sees your vision. These goals that you set out to accomplish; many folks might not understand it. Just remember that this is OK! Your vision wasn’t meant for others to understand. It is your responsibility to carry out the vision. Soon enough, others will see those ideas that they thought were impossible become your reality!

This year we’re doing things differently. We’re setting our goal, sticking to them and knocking them out of the park! You have everything you need in you to make this your reality. What are you waiting for?

    This was a really good read. No, you are not alone. I set goals for this year that didn’t surpass the first week. After reading this I don’t have to keep it that way, I’ll simply start them back. Eventually they will become habit and all I know. I will crave nothing less :)

Admittance is the First Step!

Admittance, according to Merriam and Webster, the act or process of admitting. Sometimes when you're in denial, its hard to come to terms with the idea of you having a problem. Where am I going with this you might ask? Well, I think I have a spending problem... lets be frank. The moment money touches my hand, I instantly have to spend it! It's like a raging fire in the palms of my hand and I have to get it out!! This subject is truly hard to write about being that I'm 31 years of age. At some point you're suppose to gain a sense of financial independence or responsibility whoever, this is nowhere near my situation. I'm blogging to the entire world with the chance of bring on a lot of judgment but I have to be honest with myself. As I repeatedly put myself in this financial holes, I can't help but think about why am I like this? Why am I not normal like everyone else, who's financially responsible. Growing up, being that I was the only girl, my parents ...

Them "20-Somethings"

Looking back on my 20's, I really didn't have a clue but you bet not tell me that! I was tough like a tiger and nothing could stop, so I thought. I really thought I had it all figured out!  Although I had dreams the size of Mount Everest, I still had a lot to learn about this journey called "LIFE"!  I'm sure a lot of you had conversations with your parents, where they warned you about how important having a plan is, how learning to be more organized is key, and stressing the important of continuing to college so that you'll be set for the real world, should be your top priority. They probably told you not to be "THAT GIRL". You know, the girl that's been in school for years, that changed her major at least 3 or 4 times and still doesn't know what she want's to do in life. Does this ring a bell? Well I've had a chance to get to know that girl and I connected with her on a more personal level. Since then, we've become really clo...
