“A dream written down with a date becomes a goal. A goal broken down into steps becomes a plan. A plan backed by action makes your dreams come true.” — Greg Reid

Let’s talk goals, resolutions and intentions for the year 2020. We all make them, most of the time we break them, but this year we are going to crush them.

I could talk about how to set realistic, attainable goals and the whole science behind it, but let’s not. Let’s just get down to the nitty gritty and get those 2020 goals out there and start acting on them.

• Get healthy…again (lose fat, gain muscle; lose the unhealthy Maria, gain the girl I know is inside her).
• Minimalism/simplify…remove things from the home and life that do not bring value to it. I need a calm and peaceful home to come to at the end of a stressful and overwhelming day at the office.
• Learn something…a new skill, a new language, ways to becoming the best version of myself in every sense of the word; just learn something.

Get Healthy

Even though getting healthy and being healthy is a life-long work in progress, it’s all worth it.
Plan of Action: (1) go back to kickboxing; (2) figure out the right eating plan for me; and (3) choose and train for a challenge I want to complete this year.

Minimalism/Simplify

This has been one of my goals for at least the last few years. This year I intend to create the home and most importantly the life I want and need.
Plan of Action: (1) do a monthly minimalism game for the entire year; and (2) evaluate and re-evaluate my life.

Learn Something

We learn something new every day, we just need to slow down enough to realize it.
Plan of Action: (1) learn a language; (2) learn a skill; and (3) learn how to be the person I dreamed about and have the life I know I deserve.

So you see, I have my work cut out for me, but I know in my heart of hearts that I’m finally ready…again…to work on myself and my life. I deserve it. The world deserves that from me.
