I don't believe I am a creature of habit, I don't mind buying a new shampoo or toothpaste, trying new foods are fun for me, and besides this is my year of Yes so I have to do new things all the time.

Day 16 has given me time to think about creating a new ritual for myself, something that will bring me joy. Maybe I should just go to bed at 9pm every night, I could see that bringing me joy(we all know that will never happen).

I have been trying to focus on my own happiness, worry about myself a little more. I think I wan to add just 5-10min of quiet time for myself. Paint my toes, just lay in bed with no phone or TV. Read a couple pages of a book, just give myself some me time.

All the details that will be in my life that thrill me.

Happiness -Being content alone. Independence. Exploring new activities. Finding new adventures or hobbies. Allowing myself to just be. Standing up for myself. Voicing my opinions. Living more in the moment.

Love -Strengthen my current relationship. Fall deeper in love. Less co-dependent. Allow myself to be secure. Love my spouse for who he is entirely. Love myself. Forgiving heart. Softer heart.

Friendship -make new friendships. Nurture those friendships. Listen more. Enjoy moments with just friends.

Health -Less sweets. Food as fuel. Take care of my body. Make time for me. Get sleep. Rest when I need rest. Have mental health days. Eat more veggies & fruit. Pay attention to my anxiety. Find the triggers. Learn to deal with my condition better. Allow myself to hurt.

Day 2.

Create your Theme.

It could be many words or just one. But what is your theme, what will get you excited to live and strive in 2017? Mike Dooley instructed us for Day 2 to find this within ourselves. I could honestly think of one word. Happy.

Battling high functioning anxiety everyday is exhausting. I honestly just wish I could wake up, let go, and live...just be happy. I have come to terms with that will never be me, but every day I will strive to find my happiness.

My theme, Happy. Courageous. Humble & Kind.

I will strive to allow myself to be just that, myself. Finding happiness in different moments rather with friends and family, within my personal life, or even in those moments of solitude. I will strive to be happy.

I will strive to be courageous. I want to be brave, explore, take chances and risks all while being happy.

I will strive to humble. I will soften my heart to understand others, hear others more than I hear myself.

I will strive to be kind. I consider myself kind, but I want to be kind in other aspects like maybe lay off nagging my boyfriend EVERYDAY, and reduce down to maybe 2-3x a week haha, just made myself laugh. In all seriousness just be more thoughtful of others. Just have a different mentality for other humans.

DAY 1: TODAY write down at least 5 general areas of your life that you want to create change in and develop over the next year.

Keeping your goals for change general is powerful because it gives the Universe power to orchestrate the details and figure out "how" your goals can manifest in the best way possible.

1.Happiness - to focus on putting my own happiness first.

2. Love - strengthen my current relationship, fall deeper in love.

3.Friendship - improve and make new and stronger friendships.

4. Health - Focus on fitness and being better to my body

5.Creativity - Give more to school.

Near the end of December and I am ready to start 2017.

As of Jan 1, 2017, I will be embarking on "Love Your Life 30-Day Project"  Everyday I will be emailed a new activity which will be designed to help me move closer to living my dreams. I will be documenting every day, RIGHT HERE on Tumblr!
