Happy 2018! I hope your new year is off to a great. With a new year comes new goals, resolutions, dreams and so on. I have a lot of personal and professional goals that I am trying to achieve in 2018. I wanted to share them with you so that I can always circle back around to this post and see if I’m on track and check off my list as the months fly by.

FITNESS

On January 1, I decided that one of my biggest goals for the year was going to be focused on fitness and health. When I started my new job in November, it helped me to get up bright and early to get my workout in with no excuses. Since I now sit at a desk from 8:30- 5:30 it has been much easier to get going in the morning and I am motivated to move since I know I will be sitting for the majority of the day. I love waking up before the sun comes up and feel so much better if I’m very active in the mornings. I want to continue this routine throughout the whole year.

HEALTH

I am also currently doing a nutrition program with my friend and personal trainer, called Precision Nutrition which is focused more on habits than exactly what you are putting in your mouth, so far I am loving it and it has taught me to eat slower and me more mindful when making decisions. I will share more as I continue the program. And after doing Whole 30 last year I decided I want to incorporate their recipes and eat Whole 30, clean foods for the majority of the year. Don’t get me wrong, if I have an event or want to grab a glass of wine with my sisters or friends I will be all in, but more mindful when it comes to my nutrition choices.

PROFESSIONAL

As for my professional goals I want to continue to grow Boho Style File. If you follow me on Instagram Stories you probably noticed that I posted a poll for each of you to vote on what you want to see more of. I’m so thankful for your input and with your votes I have decided to focus more on Interiors, Beauty & Hair Tutorials (which will be a challenge but so much fun), Instagram Stories – so that you can see more real life, everyday moments and of course Fashion! I hope to have many more amazing brand partnerships and give each of you exactly what you want.

PERSONAL

 I plan to start going to church more on Sundays. I get so caught up in trying to get everything done on Sundays for the week ahead that a lot of times I miss church, this year I am going to be sure that I make time for church on Sundays.

Don’t compare myself to others. A lot of times its hard with blogging. I work a full time job and spend my nights and weekends working on my blog (which is a full time job in itself). So many bloggers just popped up in the last year and you see them buying their followers, getting big partnerships by cheating their way to the top and not putting the work into it. I have decided that this year I am not going to let it bother me and to just stay true to who I am and keep working hard and remembering why I started this little blog in the first place.

My last personal goal for the year is to cook more after work on the weekdays. Put away my phone and emails when sitting down for dinner with Ryan and being more present when I’m with friends and family.

Have you set goals for the new year? I would love to hear what you have planned for 2018, or if you have any advice or tips, please pass them along! Hopefully we can all stick to our goals together. Im excited to spend another year with each of you and looking forward to hearing what you want to see more of this year!
