7 secrets to keep our 2018 New Year's Resolutions!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

2018 is finally here! The time of hopes and dreams, where many of us start meditating and writing down our new year’s resolutions. Many of us know that we start with excitement and ready to go, but the truth is that three weeks later some of us (including me) go back to where we started or tend to miss it one day and then over and over again until…POOF! Your resolution just disappeared. Meaning that once again you’ve failed and you are back to where you started. Has this ever happened to you? Why do you think this happens? The big question is: What are we going to do about it?!

These are some tips to be consistent:

Your resolutions must be realistic!
The resolutions must be about you not about what your friends or family would want for you.
Many of our resolutions are about changing things about our habits or behaviors. We think that when we complete our resolutions our lives will magically change, but the truth is that sometimes it doesn’t, so keep that in mind -if not you may get discouraged and change your behavior again.
Have a new year’s resolution buddy. Someone that has more or less the same goals that you have or maybe your husband or partner that will be there for you to cheer you on.
FOCUS on what is in front of you, the present.
Take small steps. Don’t focus on doing your 10 or 15 resolutions (which was basically what I did). Try to focus on a couple of them. This way you will have realistic goals.
Just have fun while you do them!

Below you have my 2018 New Year’s Resolutions:

1. Be consistent with my blog-Letters by Angelie and my lettering practices.

2. Open my online shop, which will feature art prints, stationery products, and embroidery.

3. Master Adobe Illustrator so that I can keep turning my sketches into vectors. By the way, the featured image above is one of my firsts! Hope you like it!

4. Keep having quality one-on-one time with my husband and travel with him. This year we celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary.

Tell me about your new year’s resolutions?! You can send me an e-mail, inbox or dm me on IG =)

Have a good year!
