One Little Word

Happy New Year Everyone!

 I am linking up with Ashley of Schroeder Shenanigans in 2nd  and Angie of Lucky Little Learners to share my One Little Word for 2016.

Yes, I am a little late in picking my one little word this year because I wanted to give myself time to make sure I picked the right word. I signed up with Ali Edwards and she suggested using your word for a few days to see if it would really work. So I did... and I finally found it!

I don't want my one word to be something that I only think about in January. I want it to be something that I think about constantly and use to grow!  I am excited to see where this one little word takes me!

I looked up the definition of breakthrough. There were two that I liked the most that I thought were fitting.

I thought this was pretty fitting for where I am in life right now. I feel like I am ready to leave behind obstacles that have brought me down over the last few years. I want this year to be a year of renewal where I start to feel better about myself, my heath, my marriage, my job... basically every aspect of my life.

I don't know how it happened but I've been on autopilot. Just going through the motions of life and not really taking time to enjoy the moments. I feel like this year, I am breaking through the fog that has built up around me that just keeps me going at a ho-hum pace. I want to breakthrough and truly live, being bold and courageous in all I undertake. Less neutral; More drive. Less negative; More joy. Less fog; More clarity.  I imagine sun rays shining down on me!

Yes!!! This is exactly what I want this year. A sudden, dramatic and important discovery of myself! It is such an empowering statement. And it speaks to so many parts of my life! My faith, my job, my business, my family and my health!  In all areas of my life I want to breakthrough the routines I've created. I want to be more bold and make new discoveries.  

Business Goals

With my business as a TpT seller, I want to start stepping out of my comfort zone and start working on new projects that I've been too fearful to try. I want to be able to take risks.  What do I want to try? Two things... I want to Periscope more... okay, really I should say start Periscoping . I only periscoped once and I think I had like 6 viewers! Ha. The fear of rejection is big... I tell you. But this year, I am going to suck it up and just try it! Second, I want to start a masterminds group. Ashley of Schroeder Shenanigans in 2nd and  Angie of Lucky Little Learners share a lot about finding a person that can be your blog bestie. I really want to find a person or a group that will help be a support. I think a masterminds group might be a great way to start. 

Health Goals

I know what I need to do to be healthy... I just need to stop putting things off. I want to break through the vicious cycle of giving up on myself. Going to the gym and clean eating isn't hard, it just takes dedication.  I just need to take care of myself and I know that a lot more positive effects will come from this. 

I was on Pinterest creating my On Little Word board and found this quote!

Somedays, I will need to tell myself this over and over. I'm sure. 

Personal Goals

Because these last few years have been a haze, I've not only neglected myself but those around me. This includes my hubby, my family, and my friends. But that needs to stop! I'm here to tell you all that I want to be more purposeful in the time I have with those I love. I want to breakthrough and make our bonds stronger. I want to make more time to spend quality time with them!  

Phew... it feels good to write this down and share with others! It makes it real. I am excited for the changes that are coming in 2016. I know that through dedication and hard work I'll be able to breakthrough my old ways, old habits and old thoughts to a better version of myself!  The quote below really summarizes how I feel. I know I haven't mentioned faith yet, but I do believe all graces come from God and I am confident in his goodness.
