​I’m someone who loves this time of year. The newness of the beginning of the year and the excitement and hope for what is to come. I’m all about setting goals and making plans. especially this year. 

One of my favorite parts of the beginning of the year is setting my word of the year. I’ve been thinking about it over the last week or so and I finally came to a decision and have chosen the word for 2021. I think this word is going to be the perfect choice for my year. 

This year my word is 

AUTHENTIC

This past year was an incredibly difficult year for me it was a year of stretching myself and changing my relationships with people. I realized that I didn’t want to keep living the life that I had been living. That too often I was being who people thought I should be and not who I really was and wanted to be. 

This past year was an incredibly difficult year for me it was a year of stretching myself and changing my relationships with people. I realized that I didn’t want to keep living the life that I had been living. That too often I was being who people thought I should be and not who I really was and wanted to be. 

It hasn’t been easy and it’s meant setting boundaries and changing how I’ve interacted with people in my life but although not easy I have felt so much better about myself when I started being more honest and more myself. Especially with other people. 

How I plan to Live more authentic in 2021:

My Family: By being more honest in my relationships. Telling people how I feel and what is really going on with me instead of holding things in and only saying things that I think other people want to hear.

This has been something I’ve been working on at the end of 2020 with mixed results. Some relationships have improved and some have fallen apart. Now that I’m setting boundaries it’s caused some push back and struggles but I know it’s healthier for me and will be worth it in the long run.

My Blog/Social Media: To show up online like me and be more open and honest with my audience. To not hide who I really am but instead stop living in fear of what people will think of me but take the risk to be the real me.

Myself: To continue my journey to be more authentic by continuing with therapy and reading more books to learn about myself and help me grow.

Motherhood: I want to be a more authentic mother. Having a daughter who is 14 I’m realizing even more that my years with her living in my home is limited and I want to enjoy it more. I also want to set a good example for her as I can. So that she can be the best woman she can be in a few years.

To do that I need to be my most authentic self as an example. She needs to see me putting myself first and being strong for myself. This means being my most honest and authentic self.

I will be setting a few goals for the year that I hope to achieve as well as setting monthly goals that will move me forward on my path to my goals. I will be blogging more about that this week.
