Focus forward

I’m not huge in New Year’s resolutions because it’s never worked for me in the past.

I do like to do a focus forward of some things that I want to be more mindful of moving forward.

1. I WILL figure out my sourdough starter and begin making bread and all the doughs from scratch. It’s supposed to be more gut healthy and the thought of not spending $4 per loaf of bread sounds great. Plus being more self sustaining is a good feeling.

2. I’m not putting any pressure on working out so many times a week or whatever. I just want to move my body in some way more often.

3. Taking vitamins and overall health is something I want to focus on.

4. Reading more books this year and I’m actually going to be setting a goal for this one! Let’s hope I make time for reading with our crazy schedule 🥴

Should I start a #Lemon8Diary to document this and try to keep myself accountable?

As we embrace the new year, focusing forward means prioritizing personal well-being and mindful living. Instead of traditional New Year's resolutions, consider setting realistic and attainable goals that resonate with your lifestyle. One effective way to enrich your daily routine is by incorporating homemade foods like sourdough bread. Not only does making bread from scratch save money, but it also contributes to gut health and fosters a sense of accomplishment. Moving your body should not be a chore but a joyful activity; whether it's a walk, yoga, or dancing, the key is consistency rather than intensity. Moreover, taking vitamins can bridge nutritional gaps, leading to better overall health. Reading is another valuable investment in self-growth. Setting a reading challenge can enhance your knowledge and provide a much-needed escape from daily stressors. Finally, consider documenting your journey on platforms like Lemon8. By sharing your experiences, you not only hold yourself accountable but also inspire others to embark on their health journeys. Remember, the path to wellness is not a sprint but a gradual and fulfilling process.
