One of my favorite things about the New Years is the freshness. It’s an entirely new year and the perfect time to reset life and habits. Now I’m not strict on what I can and can’t do. I’m well aware that it’s just another day, another week and just another year. So I give myself tons of grace in changing my habits and I love to revamp every 3 months to reevaluate how life’s going and what’s working or not working.
In January of every year there are a couple of things I like to do or implement. Just as a refresh and not so much as a resolution. Because it’s part of my life goals not just my new year goals. At the bottom of my list you can find my list of 20 ideas for new year goals to help you find ideas and things you’d like to focus on.

This year instead of a resolution I’ve decided to give the word of year a try. It’s more flexible and geared towards making choices and habits around that word. Or at least that’s how I interpret it. My word for this year is going to go with how I live my life or try to most days.
My word is: MINDFUL
I plan to be more mindful in everything I do. My time with my family. How I spend my days. With my goals below and life in general. If your wanting to start this too or are having a hard time then you should check out my blog where I stare tons of words you can use.
