New year same me

I know we all don't want to hear it but....

2021 MIGHT be similar to 2020. There I said it. 

It's time to accept a new sort-of normal. The security we once felt leaving our home just isn't there anymore. The people, places & activities we once took for granted are now cemented in our hearts. The pain & suffering that many people felt will not be forgotten. There is still the weight of the unknown. The questions. The anxiety. The hope.

It's time to start rebuilding.....to create something new.

I truly believe life is what you make it & I intend to squeeze what I can out of it!!

In the past year I have . . . 
. . . deepened the unbreakable bond with my family members
. . . spent countless hours outdoors
. . . soaked up smiles, tears, laughter & air hugs
. . . improved my daily health 
. . . appreciated what surrounds me each & every day
. . . connected with new & old friends in ways I never thought possible
  & most importantly learned to really listen to myself

Instead of making resolutions I want to remain intentional.

For me this means. . .  thinking / imagining how I want my day to go.
What are the things I want to remember to do each day?
What intentions do I have for each part of my day?
How does this relate to my relationships with others around me?

I came up with an easy way to keep these thoughts in the forefront. Being a visual person I knew I needed something I could SEE daily. Growing up I remember my grandmother taping important quotes, articles or notes all around the house. Each time I found one, I would read it to myself & imagined what she wanted out of it's daily reminder. 

The printable below is how I intend to make myself remember my intentions. I filled in my top 3 intentions for several spaces in my life: bathroom (morning/evening routine), kitchen (where most family time is spent) & my desk at work. The example below (on right) is for my desk. Simple reminders for the best version of myself. 

If this is something you're interested in trying for yourself I have included a free download below!
