Happy New Year, loves!

Wowow, I’m seriously in disbelief over how time literally FLEW us by. 2018 was yet another year of growth. I won’t start typing over what I learned last year and so forth, but I will perhaps provide some tips and tricks to make 2019 your best one yet.

To be honest, my 2018 wasn’t all glitter and gold. I literally stopped blogging for MONTHS bc I was worn out from school and basically exhausted myself from trying to find this “balance.” 

From school/work to working out and finding time to prepare healthy meals, I was wearing multiple hats I was unsure I was capable of. I was stressed out from juggling these group-intensive classes with some R coding on the side while struggling to keep up with the facade of what a grad student should be doing. I wasn’t that poster student getting invited to fancy events or the one with all these internships/experiences on my resume.

Despite all of my effort, it just did not seem like enough.

What really helped get through was staying true to my vision. It can be difficult sometimes to remember what your goals were from the beginning of the year, so I recommend doing monthly/weekly goals. They are not only memorable but achievable. SMART goals, they say? I know we discuss these all the time in class pertaining to a grander scheme of things, but I think it’s important to also dig deeper on our personal lives.

Amidst the holiday/new year chaos, I’ve created a similar tool to last year.

This year’s planner is duplicable each month, so you can truly execute your vision to life. I’ve also included a monthly mantra portion, so you can pick a little quote to be your inspo that month. 

Please let me know if you use this and tag me so I can cheer you on!!!

PS – My 2019 goals is to create MORE valuable content and to hopefully make my YouTube channel come to life. I’m still a bit camera shy, so we shall see. Happy goal-digging, loves!
