I’m not a New Year’s resolution person- I have never been. I have realized recently though, that if I want to accomplish anything in my life I need to start setting goals and milestones to get there. The media always talks about the “word of the year”. For me, I’m trying to set a word, not for the year, but for this season of my life-
Living with Intention.
These four intentions for February may seem silly or small. However, each has been chosen with care to help me move constantly forward and upward.
1: Read New Books.
When it comes to literature, I always am drawn to the classics and I don’t mind rereading my favourite volumes again and again- the pages seem like old friends. I am setting the intention to read NEW books. Books that I haven’t read before and ones that are written in this decade. Do you have any suggestions for me? I’ll have a list of the ones I’m enjoying coming soon.
2: Grow Professionally.
Having recently graduated, I’m in the job market. I don’t want my learning to stop with receiving that one piece of paper though. I have a list of certificates to work towards to make me foremost in my field.
3: Try Color in Wardrobe.
At some point a few (or several) months back, I started wearing black non-stop- not just black but the same uniform day in and day out. I went from full on maximalism to straight up minimalism. I need to get out of the rut and incorporate some lighter shades again.
4: Do more DIY.
I used to craft and create all the time. It’s always been an integral part of me. I want to start more home projects now that I have my own residence. Send me all the decor pins you have!
What are your current goals? Are you living with intention?
I would love to try doing more DIYs!

It can time consuming but SO worth it. I’ll have to share the ones I do this month in March. Hugs!
Girl, I have the same goals. I am trying to live more intentionally this year and am finding that it is much harder than it sounds.

It is a daily, even moment by moment struggle! I wish you the best of luck with your goals. Hugs!
I love these goals, and these are all things that I can improve on too! Reading different books, and adding more color to my wardrobe are on the top of my list!

I love this list! This is so simple, yet so effective! I have been slowly trying to add more color to my wardrobe this year! I also need to get back on the reading train!

It’s an easy train to fall off of. I don’t know why color is so hard to do! Good luck with both babe.

Growing professionally is so hard I think because it’s one where you can’t control everything about it…..
Yay for trying color! Color is my love language!
Author
I love it on others! I feel so odd when I see it on me….
I have never really been a new years resolution either, but this year somewhat came to the same realization as you. I think it’s great that you are setting goals based on the season you are in now. Great perspective.

YES! Every day is a new day- which is more important than one specific day once a year. Thanks for stopping by love!
My goal for this year is to blog more frequently and have set myself to have new posts every two days (ambitious I know). I’m also looking to do more DIYs too!
Author
That is so ambitious but completely doable! I am slowly doing more DIY (officially baking my own bread once a week vs buying it!), but I’d love to start doing posts on it too!
I love these!! These are awesome goals babe, I have been trying to add more color into my wardrobe too!
