What to Expect in 2018

2017 stripped me, but 2018 will mold me.

Pressuring yourself to a list of expectations you wish to meet overnight is literally up for failure when creating goals for the new year; give it 6 weeks and we’re back to old habits. I mainly speak for myself and what I’ve observed in others.  Which is why for this new year the goals I made weren’t your average:

• ·       Eat healthy
• ·       Lose weight
• ·       Detox from social media

Those goals are valid if they’re important to you, but realistically for me, that won’t change. Nevertheless, one of the promises I made myself for the new year was to pour all passion into my craft, my website, and my writing.  

What to expect in 2018 is a list of goals I will accomplish this year and what you should see on my website. I can’t describe how excited I am to share new experiences, achieve all the possible “goals” we meme ourselves into wanting, and evolving into the woman I have always desired to become.

#CONTENT #CONTENT #CONTENT

My friend and I both said this jokingly before my trip to Mexico, but I’m being honest. My website and the image I work hard on projecting on my social media is based on the content I post. Obviously. However, working on being consistent is what I need to work on. I truly find joy on taking pictures, making montages of my travels, and writing my articles. I speak the truth when I tell people I want to make a career out of it but I am not consistent as I should be.

A friend made an observation and said if I wanted to make a career out of writing and using my website to showcase my work, I need to treat it like a business not a hobby. So I’m making it a goal to have more content and post more.

Traveling

No matter what time, day, or time of year it is, I am always in the mood to travel. As of late I have been focused on making budget plans, itineraries, and timelines of places I want to visit. So far I have knocked off visiting one of the 7 wonders of the world (stay tuned for that article) and currently planning my next adventure.

Personal Growth/ Self-Care

This is a goal I have yet to master. I have read countless articles, and have had countless of discussions on what it means to be alone, love yourself, and grow as a human being. Yet with all the information I have ever gathered, it was never enough to convince me.

Now that I am self-aware and serious about taking the steps to take care of myself, my inner peace, and wanting to evolve into a stronger human being I am making it an aggressive goal to overcome all insecurities and doubts.

I have been guilty of just letting life take control of me instead of being in control of it.

To be honest…I don’t mean to sound cliché when I say this but for the first time in a long time I can honestly say I am excited for the future. My mind feels clear, I know exactly where I’m going and what I want, and I know in good faith and control I will achieve all the things I want out of the year.

I can’t imagine how far and well accomplished my website would be if I gave it my all this year. Stay tuned my friends and get ready to see a lot of me this year, Cheers to 2018!!
