How to achieve your resolutions + printable


How many times have you found yourself at the end of the year writing new resolutions and wondering what happened with the ones you wrote last year?. If you are one of the few that actually accomplishes more than 50% of the goals you set yourself then CONGRATULATIONS! 

But the majority of us feel like we haven't done most of the things we wanted to do, and why is that?
  • Maybe you wrote down some unrealistic goals, like quitting your job and making $100.000 from your blog. Let's be serious, that's not going to happen. Goals need to be realistic, measurable and with a deadline. Saying that you want to lose 1 kg. or 2 pounds per month is more attainable.
  • You had too many goals. Focus on just a few rather than going crazy with lots.
  • You didn't write them down, or if you did you forgot about them the next week. A solution for this is to print a piece of paper (like the one I'm giving to you) with specific goals, an action plan with deadlines and put it in a visible place.
  • You wrote resolutions just for the heck of it. If they don't "speak" to you they won't motivate you. State a goal like it's your life mission for that year. 
The list could go on and on, but this post is not about that, on the contrary, I want to help you plan and monitor your goals.

Merry Christmas to you

Our only decorations, which came in a beautiful letter my mom sent me from Venezuela, she is the best!

Hello lovely reader!

I just wanted to say Merry Christmas to you, or happy holidays or happy festivus, or whatever thing that you celebrate.

These are our first holidays away from our families, and even though me and my husband are kind of nostalgic we still have the spirit and joy of Christmas.

If you are like us and you are spending the holidays and new years away from home, then I have a tip for you: DO SOMETHING! there is nothing worse than being depressed on the holidays, go out and do something, if you have friends invite them over for a dinner, try to find a place to do some charity work and volunteer, or if you have money go out on a shopping spree, like a friend of the family that spent the new years eve shopping at Walmart, ok that's kind of crazy. The point is to get distracted from the nostalgic times, otherwise it's instacrying.

That is it for now, go on, be happy and enjoy your holidays :)
