Hello everyone!

2022 is just around the corner (thank God) and I want all of us to have very fun, happy, healthy and productive year.

So here are 10 ways we can reset and refresh for the new year:

1. Plan your year:

Start with a fresh notebook, something cute that you would love to write in all the time, and a pen.

First: design your life. What do you want your life to look like in 5 years, 10 years? What material things do you have? How much money are you making? Where are you living? How do you spend your free time? What are your hobbies? Where are you vacationing?

This video is amazing at helping you get started!

Also included in this is vision boarding especially if your a visual person. Make a collage of pictures of things you want to happen, put it as your phone/computer bg or do it on paper and put it where you will constantly see it.

2. Get your sleep schedule together

I am tired! All the time and it’s because my sleep schedule is trash lol. Definitely having a bedtime routine and sleep schedule will help with my mood levels and emotions.

Start by not using your phone in your bed because then you connect staying awake on the phone with your bed and then you’ll never sleep. Also, limit screen time after a certain time. Blue lights really aren’t conducive for sleep.

Start a night time routine. Make a sleep playlist, spray lavender spray on your pillow. Make sleeping interesting

3. Declutter

Leave everything that you don’t want following you into the new year behind. This includes clothes you haven’t worn all year, people you no longer want to associate with, texts, emails and apps you can’t be bothered with, old make up and honestly just things that don’t bring you joy (I’m in my Marie Condo era).

4. Self reflect

Going off of point one. Really ask yourself what you want from life and how you are going to get there. Recognize your coping mechanism and toxic traits, what can help you become a better you.

Therapy is great for this. I am a proponent for everyone going to therapy and working out everything with a neutral third party.

5. Start investing … in yourself

Look, I’m not about to tell you to start putting your money in the stock market because Lord knows I know nothing about stocks. But we should at least be putting any kind of money away for an emergency fund even if its $5 a month.

If you can put money in a retirement fund, the earlier you can, the better.

And not just money you need to invest. Time, emotion, etc.

Is there a business you want to start? Girl, it’s time to invest.

Beauty treatments you want? Invest

Designer items? Car? House? Relationship? Career? Experiences? It’s time to start investing in yourself

6. Show gratitude

I think it’s important to focus on the positive way more than the negative. I give myself at least 5-10 minutes a day to focus on the negativity of the day before moving on and pushing it out of my head.

I also think it’s important to write down or at least think about what I’m grateful for/what made me happy everyday.

7. Socialize

Make some time for the important people in your life. I’m not the best at texting my friends all the time. I’m a very low maintenance friend, but I do try to reach out every once and a while and keep the connection alive. We are social creatures, we are made to connect with other people.

And not just your friends, try to connect with as many people as you can. Network, be nice, you never know how that person could help you or change your life later.

8. Stop comparing yourself to others

I know this day in age, it seems like everyone is “successful” but the truth is we do not know what is going on behind closed doors or what that person had to do to get to where they are. Don’t compare yourself to others. Everyone’s timeline is different and it’s never too late.

Compare yourself to yourself. Ask yourself what you can do to become the best version of you and what you can do to have the life you want, not the life you see other people with.

9. Do more things you enjoy

If the year permits, I definitely want to travel more. Life is too short to not do things that will make me happy. I want to experience anything and everything I can, while I can still do it. That means making time and spending money on experiences.

10. Give yourself a break

Give yourself some grace. You are only human. You cannot do everything and you’re not a bad person for achieving everything in a certain timeline.

Be nice to yourself, say affirmations, build your confidence, get to know yourself, perhaps even date yourself …

And make sure you take care yourself, eat right, drink water, move your body. Don’t push yourself too hard

And remember to take a breath and live in the moment.
