2015 taught me the power of positivity and gratefulness. I finished a complete year of my grateful diary, the simple act of writing down a page full of things I'm grateful for everyday. I have 2 journals full of reminders about all the great things happening in my life and those around me. I've worked hard to face any challenge this year with a grateful attitude and a positive mindset. These tricks have helped me thru the rough patches and looking back over the year I am amazed at how much this simple act has improved my life. As I enter into 2016 I'm looking forward to continuing this daily dose of happiness and have my journals all ready to roll starting fresh tomorrow morning.
2015 taught me the importance of patience and networking. One year into my job and I've learned the importance of slowing down, being patient and letting things work themselves out whenever possible. Mind you, I never said I enjoyed this fact...but I'm working on it! A positive mindset, a calm approach to minor emergencies, a solid foundation of knowledgeable colleagues and a daily dose of deep breathing and patience has done me well this past year. As I move into 2016, I'm committing to becoming a better leader, taking courses to continue along my educational pathway.
2015 reminded me about the importance of health and wellness. My health is about the best it has ever been, 2016 brings a new challenge, improving the quality of food I consume, a tricky but possible feat. Continuing to work hard to be the best version of myself I can be has proven the last few years not only to make my life better, but the lives of the people around me as well. I hope to continue to inspire and motivate others to step up to the challenge and adapt a healthy lifestyle. I wouldn't be the woman I am today if it wasn't for all of the amazing people who have helped me over the last 4 years.
2015 has become the year of rising to the challenge. Working hard to improve my health, my fitness, my education, my parenting and my leadership skills has been the focus of the year...all areas offering a variety of different obstacles and challenges along the way. One of the biggest challenges of the year has been my commitment to running. Thanks to Natalie, calling my bluff and joining me in my far fetched dream of running a Disney Half marathon, I think that today, this last day of 2015, I can finally say I'm a runner. Thanks to her dedication, patience and support, I have surpassed any goals I would have ever set for myself, committed to training for our Disney Challenge and am so thankful to have found such a great running partner and friend. As we move into 2016, I look forward to our February event and no surprise to anyone who knows us...why not tack on a few other big dreams to round out 2016! I'm so thankful for the all the amazing supporters who help make my fitness focused lifestyle an enjoyable and successful one and can't wait to see what 2016 does to shape my mind and my body.
I'm thankful for all 2015 has offered me and I'm looking forward to the challenges and teachings 2016 has in store for me too! As the year changes, don't forget to take some time to reflect on what is important to you...the simple act of thinking about it (and even better writing it down) sets you on a path to success!
Wishing you a Happy New Year and the ability to make 2016 the best one yet!
