JANUARY 2021 GOALS

Happy New Year and hello 2021! This year is going to be amazing and I am thrilled to welcome abundance, prosperity, new opportunities/ adventures and love into my life. I know that most of us are happy that 2020 is over because we have turned over a new leaf and I couldn’t be more excited for what’s in store for us this year. There is definitely a new wave of energy that I haven’t felt before. Usually when a new year comes around, I feel like most of us are still waking up from the holiday slump and struggling to fight the winter blues. For some reason, however, I feel awake and ready to tackle this year with full force.

Instead of writing new years resolutions, I have decided to write monthly goals for myself and I think this will be my third year doing it, so it has become part of my routine. I love being able to reflect on my previous month’s goal and I enjoy focusing on the goals that I want to achieve within the current month because not only does it hold me accountable but writing them down serves as my first step in putting them into action.

Before I jump into writing down what I want to achieve for January, let’s revisit what I wanted to achieve last December. My first goal was to finish my book and I don’t think I’ve actually completed that since it’s not 100% done. I am actually working on two different writing projects so I’m a bit torn in which direction I want to go, but I think I will find clarity in that area this month. I wanted to wrap up my fourth season of my podcast The City Confessions, which I have done, so if you are looking for something new to listen to, head over to my website and you can binge my latest episodes!

I also wanted to plan a staycation and I’m happy that I was able to not only do one, but two! I stayed at The Langham and also The William Vale, so both were great experiences to satisfy the explorer in me. Last but not least, I wanted to bake some holiday cookies or get a gingerbread house and I was able to do something to that extent. I made these no bake oatmeal bites and had some delicious cookies from Nourish so I feel satisfied in my approach to that goal.

JANUARY 2021 GOALS

1. Get Clear on my Writing Direction: This year I will publish a book. I am putting this out into the universe and I am going to manifest this into reality. The question is which route I will take, so I want to get clear on my writing direction so I can work towards the necessary steps to making this happen.
2. Have a Plan for Podcast: The fifth season of  The City Confessions will go live this month on January 25 with a solo episode featuring me. I need to plan out my guests for February as well as the scheduled recordings so I can be on track with my schedule.
3. Read one book: I have been off my reading game for a while and I am making it an effort to get back on it by picking up one book for January.
4. Do something fun for my birthday: My birthday is on January 27 and I know that there isn’t a lot of options in terms of celebrations but I still want to make sure I do something fun because who doesn’t want to have fun on their birthdays? Maybe I can spend a weekend somewhere or find something creative in the city. I don’t need or want anything big but I do want to be surrounded by the people that I love.

As I am writing out my goals, I want to reiterate my excitement for this month. I believe starting the year right with a positive mindset is important as it affects the tone for the following months and eventually the rest of the year!
