Happy New Year! I haven’t posted in the new year not because it wasn’t on my mind, but because I was just trying to get my ish together. Everyone suggests the new year brings all of these fabulous things, and we all of a sudden become new people. Where it may be the start of a new year (and in this case; a fresh new decade), we are still the same people on December 31, 2019, 11:59 pm as we are on January 1, 2020. There’s nothing magical that happens. We all don’t develop a case of new year amnesia. 

It’s up to use to make those miracle changes happen by putting our thoughts into action.

The truth is: we want to keep moving forward and learn from the lessons of the previous year. We are just trying to survive and thrive in the upcoming year. That may be a bit straightforward, but it’s the truth.

The start of the year presented many challenges for me. Still, my main goal was to stay consistent with my practice of working out, eating mostly healthy, and doing my bible study.  

You may think I sound a bit cynical, but I’m not.

 I’m happy to embrace what 2020 is throwing my way. I’m excited to share those experiences with all of you.

I’ve been working on my 2020 bucket list, thinking of my goals, creating my “awesome in 2020 playlist,” and working to move in a forward direction. I’m excited to see what this year will bring.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about with the playlist, watch this video or just read on. I challenge everyone to come up with a new playlist that makes you feel good for the new year. Listen to this playlist when you’re feeling your best or feeling the tiniest bit down. I want this playlist to move and motivate you to be the best version of yourself. Does that mean the lyrics have to be top-notch and inspirational? Nope! I hope you would fill your playlist with songs that make you want to dance and just lighten your mood.

This playlist will make a difference. It’s a tool I use to help me in every situation. If you want to take a look at my playlist for some inspiration, it won’t hurt. We could inspire each other’s list.  

This could be a helpful tool to turn your day around.  I hope you’ll find it useful, you’ll add to it throughout the year, and use it to achieve success in the future.

Happy New Year!
