The Year I get my Sh*t together 🤣

2023 was the year I focused on finishing my degree and planning my dream wedding.

2024 is the start of a new chapter as I graduate in February and start back to work in March after taking six years off to be a stay-at-home mom.

There are many goals and habits I want to incorporate in this new year as my role changes:

1. Making healthier choices, including drinking more water, sticking to a bedtime routine, waking earlier, and exercising daily.

2. Continual learning.

Just because my degree is finished doesn't mean the learning stops. The only way to stay on top is to learn about new trends in your field continually.

3. Since our household income will increase drastically, I want to keep myself accountable by documenting our income and expenses. While I already budget each month, this is a year we will focus on paying off debt, saving, and taking our first family vacation.

... Read moreAs we step into 2024, many seek to enhance their lives by setting meaningful goals. New Year resolutions are a traditional way to prioritize health, learning, and financial stability. Setting achievable health goals can significantly impact your physical and mental well-being. Start by drinking more water, engaging in daily exercise, and sticking to a consistent sleep schedule. These small changes can lead to significant improvements in energy and mood. Furthermore, continual learning is crucial, especially after completing a degree. Staying updated with the latest trends in your field helps enhance career prospects and personal growth. Consider enrolling in online courses, attending workshops, or even reading extensively to remain informed and skilled. Financial accountability is essential, particularly when income changes. Budgeting each month while focusing on reducing debt and saving is vital for long-term stability. Create a clear financial plan, track your spending, and set clear saving goals to ensure you can afford those desired family vacations while securing your family's future. By implementing these resolutions, you can make 2024 a year of growth, achievement, and exciting new beginnings.

How to get your sh*t together
Good things don’t always come easy. Sometimes in life we are alone, we want to spend recklessly, we want to eat whatever and just do…whatever. But that doesn’t benefit you, me, he, or she. Embracing who you are and what you need are the fundamentals to a quality life style. Learn to help yourself.
