Hey y’all! So, I have always been the person to set yearly goals.. you can find mine here. But bucket lists are better, so I created one of those for summer, you can find that here! Anywayyyys, with June fast approaching and summer here, it made me think about the goals I set for myself at the beginning of the year: To create more time for myself and my blogging goals, to reach my fitness goals, to create a more simplified life, to stay present with the Lord, and to strive for success every day.
When you look at those goals, you probably think.. dang, those sound great! & they are. But they aren’t me. If someone would ask me what stage of life I am in right now.. I would say cray. I have a different schedule each week, always forget to hang up my clothes and do laundry, and all of the other things that I am “supposed” to be doing. I truly love working out, but finding the time lately has been so hard. Which yes, I know is just an excuse.
As for my other goals go, I struggle with giving/selling things, and this is a huge issue when you want to live “simplified”. Not really sure why I feel like this, but I just do. My thoughts are as follows, either “Oh, I went to X with X and had so much fun” or “I might want to wear it in the future, so I need to keep it”. Lately, I have been trying to tell myself the “it served its purpose” saying, and that works sometimes. I am going to pray about this some more, I think that will help.
Does anyone else deal with letting go of objects? I would love to hear what you do to push past it.
Back to today’s topic on why I am kicking these goals to the curb. Alright, here it is.. want to know why I am kicking them out?! Because I can. I can do what I want, when I want. When it comes to my quality of life, I can just do me and I can stop trying to be someone else. Before everyone gets all ‘are you okay’ on me.. I haven’t been trying to be someone else. But damn.. it is my time. My time to do what I want. And the first thing on my agenda is to kick these goals to the curb. And you guys.. it feels great!
I have tried for one and half years to use the Powersheets, but it just doesn’t work for me. And guess what?! That is perfectly okay! So, instead of sharing my how are my yearly goals going today, I wanted to keep it real. You cannot get more real with a blog post about how I am totally ditching my goals and keeping it real with gold earrings! Yass! 🙂 ps.. you can find my shoes, here!
Let’s just live, and let live. Make this the best season of life yet. Deal? Deal.
xxoo,
nicole
