2015. The Year to Start Doing

January is the month of 'new beginnings'. People either love making resolutions or they are cynical and make fun of them. I used to make a bunch of resolutions and then would get so upset when I didn't reach them all. As I've grown I've changed my approach and thought about the one or two things I really want to achieve each year. This year many bloggers have chosen a word to define their year and I've seen amazing choices for 2015.

Believe. Thrive. Simplify. Grow. Learn.

All of these choices make for a wonderful year and I applaud those that have already decided their goals. This year, I'm taking longer to define ALL of my goals, because I'm still trying to figure out WHAT exactly I want to work on and achieve. For whatever reason, I'm all over the place this year. I made a quick list back in December, but haven't really found myself committing to them.

I like using this space to hold myself accountable, but I hate failing. If I don't outwardly acknowledge what I want to achieve, I won't fall flat on my face in front of y'all. Not the best outlook, I know, but I want to be sure I have everything in a row before I share my big plans.

However, I'm not just going to let myself completely off the hook. Below are the five things I want to achieve this year.

Fitness goal [will share this once I figure it out.]

Simplify [in life and in our home.]

Four Learning Books [I love to read for fun, but want to LEARN this year.]

1 new big girl recipe [my recipe repertoire needs to be pumped up.]

Grace [for myself and for others.]

DO [Do more! Do less! Do yoga! Do that race! Do take that challenge!]

2015 is the year of DO, for me.

What are your goals for the year?

  1. This is a great word for the year! Your list of resolutions is very inspiring...I love the one about grace and the one about learning! With school sometimes, I feel like my brain is too full to learn anything outside of my classes, and I hate that! I would definitely like to take more time this year for learning about small/manageable things!

  15. This is the first year I don't have a long list of goals, I always include things on there that are just setting myself up for failure haha. I want to enjoy this year, read a couple books (I usually list 5-10, never happens) and just focus on my relationships with God, my husband, family & friends. Cheers to 2015 <3

  16. I love that you are taking your time to define your goals! I felt like I rushed through mine and didn't really spend the time on them to make them useful. Great goals too girl! Good luck!

  18. I love your list! I want to remember to read some nonfiction this year too- I love a good novel, but I'd like to read topical things that interest me as well! :)

  21. Simplify in the home sounds wonderful! I started cleaning stuff out today and already threw a ton of stuff in the trash and have a box started for Goodwill!
    I need to read more too. ;)

  22. I like your approach! I tend to focus on a small number of things and then let whatever else may be come naturally. I'm also super indecisive, so I'm prone to changing my goals anyway. Actually, one of my goals for the year is to be more decisive haha I like your word "Do!" I think I can take that and roll with it :) Happy New Year!

  23. Great goals! I feel like fitness goals are always the hardest to decide on and they are one of the easiest to track, but no one likes failing at them. For recipe inspiration I love Pinterest (obviously) but also Cooking Light Magazine!!!
