Hello, 2016! It’s time for my annual new year’s resolution
post, which makes up approximately 25 percent of my total blog content each year.
I’m so proud.
Last year, I talked about making progress
in a few different aspects of my life, and as I reflect back on 2015, I’m
comfortable saying I was mildly successful. While there were some areas that I
feel lacked major attention (hello, dieting and exercising!), I think focusing on progress allowed me to
ease up on the extremity I normally place on myself when it comes to goals.
Typically, I follow a “go big or go home” ideology. My goals typically look
like, “Wake up every day at 5:00 a.m. for an hour-long intense meditation!” instead
of “Develop a morning routine that feels good and encourages productivity.” My
focus on progress allowed me to be
kinder to myself about the approaches I took toward self-enhancement.
In a similar vein, this year, I’m focusing on balance. The internal, emotional,
psychological kind. (Anyone who has seen me exit a car, carry more than two
bags of groceries, or walk across a room knows I don’t possess physical balance
whatsoever.) I’d like to live this year with a mindful -– yet guilt-free –- approach to my home life, personal life, work life, and health life, embracing
the opportunities I get in the moment to improve each one.
Cheers to the new year! And now, for no good reason, here’s
a few photos from the holiday season!

No, he didn't just stuff 100 Christmas cookies in his mouth. That's just natural chub. Jealous?]
