The New Year is finally here! This year I’m looking forward to new opportunities and challenges. The things I want for this year are exactly the same as last year. The only difference is I’m working harder to perfect and solidify those goals. Check out my first post “What I want from 2017.”
In 2018, I want to be a better Paris. By this I mean continue setting goals for myself and reaching for them, but not putting myself down when certain things do not work out. The biggest lesson I learned last year is that it definitely is okay to fail, as long as you are willing to pick yourself up and keep pushing. At times I struggle with realizing that I am only human and I cannot be perfect no matter how much I try.
With that being said, my goal for 2018 is self-love and self-care. To me, self-love and self-care are not just about what people show on social media, like taking bubble baths and doing a face mask. Although those things are relaxing and make me feel good, they cannot help solve actual issues. Self-care/love is checking in with yourself to know if you’re actually okay and if you are not then figuring out the next steps to becoming okay. I honestly do not think this is a simple goal, but I feel like in combination with other plans I have for myself, it is important to keep this goal in mind each day.
To practice self-care and self-love in 2018 I will:
- Not look at other peoples journey as a guide for where I should be – I have my own journey to complete just because someone is succeeding faster does not mean I will not succeed at all.
- Take breaks from social media for a number of reasons.
- Reach out when I need help, stop leaving everything bottled up.
- Fall in love with me. I can not change who I am so I might as well love me.
- Follow the words “TREAT YO’SELF” when I can, just because I can.
- Keep track of my emotions and work on being positive.
- Take bubble baths, do face and hair mask – because it is important to feel good on the outside and within.
