December already?

It's hard to believe that we have already come this far... it's already December (starting tomorrow), and that means that it is the time of year that I reassess my goals and set new ones for the new year. It is basically a time that I figure out if I am actually making progress on reaching my goals.

This past year has been easier than the two that preceded it, but that is just because I am adapting to this new role as an adult. Within the past two years, I have learned to budget, build a savings, be better organised, be neater, and be just generally more functional. And that all is the outcome of working on that list of goals that I mentioned.

I really don't understand how some people can go through life WITHOUT things like goals, yet many do. But I know for sure the benefits that I have received because I set goals, and I do find that it helps push me forward.

So for this coming year, my goals are getting bigger!

• HEALTH: I want to keep nourishing myself (and my man) so that we stay health and vibrant, even through things like a global pandemic. Looking into new supplements for things like energy (ginseng, for example), improved sleep (valerian root, reishi mushroom, skullcap...), and more strength/stamina to just get through the day (so that would be things like ashwagandha, St. John's Wort, sage and rose)

• FITNESS: I want to lift even more weights when I work out! Build some serious muscle and sculpt my body into what I know it has the potential to be. I want to work on building those stabilizing muscles to help improve my balance and the additional muscle should rev up my metabolism a fair bit

• NUTRITION: this year's goal is phytonutrients! My research is pointing me more and more towards a high-phytonutrient diet because of how beneficial it is for stroke recovery and general well-being, so that seems to be the way to go!

• CAREER: pushing for that promotion! And learning tons in the process. I love my job

• HOME: keep up the homestead with the love of my life! Healthy, nourishing cooking... clean and positive spaces... the whole vibe is just amazing lately! I want to grow and develop that

There are more, but I won't bore you with the details...

The point of me sharing this was to get all of YOU thinking about your own goals. What are you working on this coming year? Let's all work together and achieve more!
