2014 was an incredible year – there were more highs than lows and I pushed myself to new limits that I never have before. I trusted my instincts and took risks, I traveled across the world to Thailand, I started a new job at my favorite network (HBO), I ran my first half marathon, I completed the ‘catch’ in trapeze school, I continued to build on my blog and more.
2015 hasn’t started off as exactly as I hoped; unfortunately I tore my ACL in a skiing accident. Obviously this isn’t the way anyone wants to start the year but I’m doing my best to remain positive and hope that the rest of 2015 will only get better.
Instead of making resolutions, I used the Stop, Start, Continue activity…it’s easy and helps you recognize the things you want to improve on. So for now here’s a start:
In 2015 I want to
STOP
Judging myself so harshly
Assuming people know what I want or what I’m thinking
Comparing my successes to others
Feeling guilty if I say “No”
Pressing snooze 346436 times
Over-thinking or nitpicking the little things
Turning the little things into BIG things
Trying to please everyone
Start
Giving the benefit of the doubt
Doing something nice for myself everyday
Doing something nice for someone else everyday
Taking initiative (at my job, in my life, and my relationships)
Holding myself accountable
Waking up early
Keeping to a workout routine
Making time for myself
Reading more
Getting clear on my goals and start small (like writing 3 times a week for the blog)
Continue
Being positive
Trusting my instincts
Working hard
Pushing myself to new limits
Taking risks
Building on the blog
Traveling
Having fun
Doing things I’ve never done before
Appreciating what I have in my life
Learning more (about myself, at my job, and just in general)
What will you stop, start and continue in the New Year!
