My 2021 Goals

I’ve stuck with the same Core Desired Feelings for a few years now. Abundant, Aligned, Ease and Love have served me well. In 2020, I felt called to bring radiant confidence into my life as I baked and birthed our twins. As I sat down to think about what my 2021 goals are going to be I’ve landed on 3 Core Desired Feelings for this year which are Vibrant, Nurturing, and Emboldened.

These Core Desired Feelings specifically have to do with how I want to feel when it comes to my career, health, and home/family goals. If I focus first on these categories within my life I will have space and capacity to then accomplish goals in other areas of my life. I attach core desired feelings to each category so that as I set goals in each category, I look at how I want to feel in that area of my life and measure my goal against it.

For example: If I continue a morning routine of meditation and journaling I know I will feel calmer and then I’ll be able to go through my day with more EASE. EASE being the core desired feeling of the spiritual category of my life.

Without further ado, here are…

I usually post this blog on January 1st, 2021 but as I hope you can understand… life with twins means I just have to go with the flow a little bit more. It was also nice to take a little bit more time this month to go through my planning process and really examine which areas of my life I needed to come back to basic goals instead of always trying to dream big. Sometimes you just need to come back to simplicity.
