2024 Goals ✨
Comment your goals! Let’s grow together 🥰
This year my focus is on improvement. In the past I’ve gotten over my head and tried to accomplish too many goals at once. I want to focus on wellness and improving myself for 2024.
I think it’s best to start small and slowly work your way up. If you jump all in at once it can be very overwhelming. I can be a perfectionist at times so starting small has helped me.
More about my goals:
1. 🏔️Hiking
- I want to start out by doing 2 hikes a month. I can do more if I want. I’ll be using AllTrails to plan my routes. On that app you can sort distance, scenic options, and how hard it’ll be.
2. 🧘♀️Meditate
- I’ll find a quiet place to sit focus and on my breathing. I start of by setting an intention for that practice whether thats patience or growth. Then inhale positive thoughts and exhale negative. Doing this helps clear my mind!
3. 📝Journal
- I’m going to work on journaling all my feelings every morning when I wake up.
- Each night in bed I’ll journal about my day. I’ve been pretty consistent with this over the past 4 years. It’s been cool being able to see how much I’ve improved and what I’ve done each day.
4. 📖Read
- I have a 20 minute commute to work in the morning so listening to audiobooks on Spotify has been the one way I can squeeze in a book! If I’m feel music instead (which is okay!) I’ll listen to part of my book while warming up on the treadmill at the gym. I usually start by 10 minutes of walking anyways.
5. 🥗Healthy Eating
- My mother in-law has her own herbal business which has inspired me to change how I eat. My husband loves plants too! My goal for this is adding more fruits and veggies to my diet. I shop at a farmers market where I then bring home and clean everything!
- I want to try to eat less processed foods. So making things from scratch! I’m not perfect at all. I’m taking everything bit by bit. I’m learning how to bake so I can take charge of my own sweet tooth.
6. 🙆♀️Movement
- I don’t know much about cycle syncing my workouts. It’s my goal to learn more about that and apply it to my life! More info on my journey of this will be posted!
7. ✍🏼Mood Tracking
- this one sounds simple but it’s super easy to forget. I’m just going to track my moods in a color coordinated chart.
8. 🎨Hobbies
-I have so many things I want to learn! Here’s a list:
Knitting, painting, longboarding, DIY, jewelry making, tarot reading, and poetry!
9. ♻️Recycle
- I’m slowly switching products in my home to reusable eco-friendly materials. So far my husband and I got reusable mop pads and cleaning supplies.
- I want to get into making my own shampoo and laundry detergent.
Let me know if I should add anything or tips!! If anyone knows stuff about cycle syncing, cooking, or eco-friendly products please share! I’d love to talk and educate myself. That’s why this app has pushed me to sharing about myself. We can all learn together!

As we embark on a new year, setting achievable goals is key to personal growth. Hiking is an excellent way to connect with nature and stay fit; aim for two hikes a month, which can boost your mood and reduce stress. Meditation, even for just ten minutes daily, cultivates mindfulness and enhances emotional well-being. Journaling allows you to reflect on your experiences and track your progress, which can be motivating. Incorporating audiobooks during your commute can turn travel time into learning moments while promoting literacy through engaging stories. Adopting a healthier diet by adding more fruits and vegetables can increase your energy and strengthen your immune system. Remember, slow transitions to fewer processed foods can create long-lasting habits. For movement, learning about cycle syncing may optimize your workouts and align them with your body's natural rhythms. Mood tracking, though simple, can significantly enhance self-awareness. Finally, exploring hobbies can provide a creative outlet and diversify your skills. By recycling and choosing eco-friendly products, you contribute to a sustainable lifestyle. The key takeaway is to keep your goals realistic and celebrate even the small achievements! Together, we can grow and learn in 2024.
