This year...

Oh, hey there. Look who fell off the blogging bandwagon. Yet again!

Guys, life has been a handful lately. I'm talking reevaluating life, questioning relationships, rediscovering priorities, etcetera and so forth. Tomorrow marks exactly 6 months until I turn 30, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't probably having a helluva time coming to terms with that. Not so much the number or the age itself, but more of what comes along with it.

Am I happy with where I am now? What are my goals? Should I be further along than I already am? Why don't I have my shit figured out? Should I be wanting kids soon? Why can't I get a damn budget in order? Should I move to Colorado? (Seriously.) When will I finally fully love myself?

I probably think about three of these things at least once every day. It's big-question stuff. Stuff that can't necessarily be answered, at least not right away. Stuff that I'd like to address a bit more this year, instead of just pushing it off to the side (because let's be honest, it's so much easier to do that).

So, where do I start?

Well first.. when I took a look at last years goals, I realized I didn't quite do a stand-up job at sticking with them. So some I am going to renew, and some I have changed and added, and will probably keep adding to. Life is all about the process, not the destination... right? Right.

So for 2015:

1. Blog more. (Again.)
I had this as number one on my list last year as well, and all I can say is that I have re-added it for this year and I will do my damn best to stick to it!

2. Read more.
I'm really, really good at starting books and then never finishing them. At any given time, I'm probably about a quarter of the way through 3 or 4 different books, some of which get finished and some of which never do. (There's of course always the random book that I devour within a week, on top of that.) But this year, I am determined to make reading a part of my weekly, if not daily, routine. It helps that I started a mini-book club with a few friends, and also joined another one through my yoga studio.

3. Refocus on healthy habits.
When life gets stressy, I have a bad habit of falling completely off the bandwagon. Nutrition and healthy living is something I am undoubtedly passionate about, but also something that I admittedly struggle with - especially when life gets a bit rough. I've been really focusing on me lately - emotionally, spiritually, physically - and this has helped kickstart a renewed sense of vitality and love for myself. I simply want to continue on that path!

4. Refocus on Gingerbean.
This has been a long time coming. Things are fairly settled with the winery at this point, which gives me much more time to focus on my massage and health coaching business. I really want (and honestly, need) to develop my practice a bit more.. I have dubbed 2015 as the year to do so!

5. Complete my Yoga Teacher Training
More on this soon.. but I have been wanting to do this for quite some time now. My fave studio just released details about their new YTT program this coming fall/winter, and I am cautiously optimistic that I may be able to swing it. Which brings me to..

6. Get better with money.
Long and short of it is I'm really in the weeds, financially. Both Scot and I got ourselves into a bit of a mess, and it's kind of hell getting out of it. So budgeting and sticking with it is actually a top priority, above all right now. And if I can get that in order.. well, #5 might actually happen.

So these are really more like goals, than resolutions. I'm also planning on starting a sugar detox over the next week or so, so I guess that's a "resolution", but I'm not really resolving anything. Just trying my hand at something.

So what say you, fine folks? Any goals or resolutions of your own for 2015?

Resolutions..? I am Ron Burgandy..?

Oh, eff it. I started writing this whole post on non-resolutions and how I don't believe in them, but you know what? I actually have a crap ton of resolutions for the upcoming year. Well, maybe more of a mix of resolutions and goals, really. Goal-utions? Reso-goals? Whatever.

Anyway, I figure the best way to possibly complete said goalutions would be to list them out - makes it more permanent and accountable, you know? And plus, I love me some lists.

1. Blog more.

Well, that's been a goal for what, a year and a half now?

2. Help out more around the house.

Let me put this out there: I have an extremely amazing, generous, and patient husband. Who does a crap ton around the house. I mean.. he's just so good at sweeping and the dishes and cleaning the cat box, you know? Who am I to get in the way of that?

Alas, he actually wants to be the one to go back to school/training this year (since it's been me twice now).. so I should probably figure out how exactly to use a vacuum. (Don't laugh.)

3. Purge.

I already did this before we moved over the summer, but I need to do another round. We just have so. much. ish. And I have so. many. jeans. Gotta cut the cord!

4. Get my health coaching in order.

I have a lot of ideas for this, but am having trouble implementing them. But, I am determined. And I am woman. Hear me (and my chia seeds) roar.

5. Organize my Pinterest.

Yes. I'm being serious. My pins and boards are all over the place and I really want to use that site for good.. but right now it's the equivalent of my room on its messiest day. Except for my wedding boards. Those are golden.

6. Take a break from social media.

So.. yes. This sort of goes against number 5. But I mostly mean Facebook - I check it too much, primarily out of boredom. I could definitely cut it back a bit.

7. Be happy with my myself, as I am.

That's part of the beauty of being both a health coach and human. This is still something I'm working on.

So what are your goalutions? How good are you at keeping them?
