New Year, Still Me
2017 has truly been a whirlwind year for me personally, professionally, and spiritually. Bae and I celebrated a year of our love. I tackled a previously unattainableĀ academic hurdle. Best of all, I learned to process all that around me in a healthy and sustainable way.
So what do I carry out of this hallmark year into 2018? Here I share with you...
Personal Relationships
No human is perfect, and yet that is what makes us uniquely beautiful. This is supremely important to remember and cultivate in all relationships of the year to come. Take time to see things from others perspectives. If you do not understand, ASK. Notice and appreciate the differences we all share and how these thoughts and experiences bind us. When you learn and nurture things about the ones you love youāll be surprised how it benefits you two-fold.Ā
Professional EndeavorsĀ
Whether youāre in a corporate environmentĀ or work for yourself, there are a few fail-safe ways to add success and dimension to your career in 2018. For starters, find and hone your personal brand. This can be as superficial or deep as your career warrants. How do you want to be viewed by your colleagues, potential employers, or clients?Ā Planoly Ā has a great set of fun and easy questions to get you going. Second, show up. This is physically and figuratively for both yourself and your employers. Do good work and market it. Donāt wait for someone to notice your shine, put it right in front of their eyes.
Spiritual Serenity
This year was definitely one for the books when it comes to personal serenity. I embarked on a deep dive into how I became the person I am today, my flaws, my strengths and what I truly want out of my days. Do you set aside time for personal growth each day? Make a small change in your day to allow yourself some self reflection. Journal, read something you gain inspiration from, sitĀ quietly and think on what made you happy today. Day by day it will become routine and you will find yourself more connected to your wishes and more relaxed in your experiences.
Happy new year loves!
