Happy first day of 2018! Hopefully you are having an amazing first day of the year! 2017 was a truly fantastic year, however I love a fresh start, so today I want to share with you all the goals I’ve had floating around my head the last month or so! Some of them might be a little odd…but hey, that will make it fun! 😉
1. Be a “User”// So I know to a lot of you this won’t make sense to a lot of you, but if you are like me then it might! I’m usually a saver. I’m not talking about money (which I am too and not changing!). I’m talking about saving of stuff. I’m not a hoarder, but the things I like the best, I tend to use the least. My favorite candle, I might never burn. My favorite perfume, I never wear. My favorite shirt, I never wear. So this year I plan to actually USE my favorite stuff. There is no day like the present, and if I’m always waiting then the perfect day may never come!
2. Clean and tidy up on the daily// I know I’m the last one in the world to read The Life Changing Joy of Tidying Up, but I plan to read it in 2018 and implement it so that way I’m not left cleaning up on my day off as often!
3. Read 40 books// In 2017 my goal was 35 books, so I’m increasing just slightly to 40 books! If you want to follow what I read you can follow me on Goodreads.
4. Grow spiritually// Every year it is a goal for me to grow more spiritually. I would never want to just stay stagnant in my faith. This year I would like to read my Bible more. I also have a really hard time reading non-fiction books. So I would like to increase my faith-based reading and read through them a bit faster than I have in the past.
5. Grow my Blog and Instagram// I’ve been blogging for just over a year now and I absolutely love all the people I have met and connected with! I started out blogging just to get a digital record of my life and for my family. If my blog never becomes much, I am okay with that, but I would love to see it grow and have more consistent readers. I would love to continue to improve the quality of my blog and instagram. My main goal for instagram is to get to 2,000 followers, which for some of you is nothing, but for me that would be a huge jump! I would love to get to 10,000 so I could swipe up, but I’m keeping the goal a little bit more obtainable. Also, this past year I collaborated with a company, and I would love to collab with at least one other company this year! If you want to help me in this goal, feel free to follow me on Instagram and Bloglovin!
6.Pay off College Debt// My husband and I have been working on this for a year, and our goal for it to be all paid off looks like (God willingly) will be at the end of July. This will be a huge blessing and a huge wait off our shoulders, and then we can start with saving for buying our own home!
So what are you trying to accomplish in 2018? Leave me a comment below and let me know! Also, check back tomorrow for my December book review! 😉
