My 19 for 2019 List
Sweater: Zara (from fall) | TV: 65″ Samsung Frame
And here we are! Happy 2019! It’s probably obvious, but I took some time off from the blog so I can focus on my family. Keith was off and rather than stressing over posting, I made the executive decision to take a little break. Behind the scenes, I wanted to get my creative juices flowing, think about new ideas and work on content when I had a creative burst of energy, which honestly, happened quite often these past two weeks. I started drafting a ton of new posts, jotting down things that popped into my head and already, I feel pretty good entering the new year.
Rather than posting a list of resolutions, after listening to The Happier Podcast, I got inspired to post a list of 19 things, large and small, that I want to accomplish in 2019. The plan is to print this list out, so it serves as a reminder of the things that I want to do. Already, I started off the New Year with tackling my cluttered beauty closet. I had dozens of bottles of dry shampoo, hair spray, creams, lotions, potions and it got to a point where I didn’t even know what I had. I would open up the closet and immediately, shut it because it stressed me out. This went on for a full year and yesterday, I decided that I didn’t want to start the New Year with this mess that was weighing me down. So without further ado, here are 19 other goals to complete this year.
My 19 for 2019 List
- Try a Pilates Reformer Class.
- Get my Drivers License: I’ve taken the road test twice before and failed when it came to parallel parking.
- Get a Mammogram: Because my maternal grandmother passed away from breast cancer, it was suggested I start getting yearly mammograms.
- Learn how to invest money.
- Make a dentist appointment.
- Stop sleeping with the phone on my nightstand.
- Start and finish my gallery wall.
- Plan a romantic trip with Keith, just the two of us. Preferably a trip that involves a beach, sand and drinks with little umbrellas in them. It’s been way too long.
- Plan a family trip to a place we’ve never been.
- Take a wine class.
- Create physical photo albums from when Nate was born to now.
- Back up all of my digital photos onto a hard drive (on top of google photos and iCloud) and create at least one book.
- Try one new restaurant a month.
- Continue following the one-minute rule.
- Cook one new recipe a month.
- Volunteer.
- Spend more time with my parents.
- Take the initiative and plan at least one friends trip.
- Take a media class. Whether it’s public speaking or speaking to a camera, I want to get better at all of it.
And there you have it. What are some of yours? Please share!
PS: As a reminder, I normally post on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays but because this was a short week, I’ll be posting again tomorrow and Friday.
Wishing you all an amazing start to 2019!
