A New Year, a Fresh Start and Infinite Possibilities.

Happy New Year friends!

Truth be told, 2017 was an eventful year for me filled with many wonderful experiences but also some challenges. I can say that I was ready to close the chapter on 2017 and ready to start the chapter on 2018.

I’ve been thinking a lot about some of the resolutions that I want to make for 2018 as I’m sure you have been.

Here are my TOP 5

{ONE} Spend more QUALITY TIME with my family. I see my family at least a couple of times a week but I don’t feel that I’m 100% engaged when I’m with them. Reason being, my trusty iPhone is always by side. As much as I try, I can’t multitask. I can’t have a meaningful conversation and see what’s happening on Instagram at the same time.

{TWO} Focus on my HEALTH. I recently joined 9 Rounds which is an amazing 30 minute workout but I find that I can’t seem to go as often as I would like. For 2018, I would like to go at least 3 times a week. Exercise is good for the mind and body.

{THREE} Learn to COOK. I’ve made a list of top 10 things that I would like to learn to cook this year. As I learn a dish, I hope to share it with you.

{FOUR} Stay COMMITTED. I find that I have a lot of things that I would like to try and do but I don’t follow through. I’m starting a photography course in January after much “talk” as my hubby would put it and I’m very much looking forward to it.

{FIVE} BALANCE. I want to focus 2018 on finding a healthy balance of all the activities I enjoy.

Leave me a note with your resolutions for 2018. I would love to read your Top 5.

Let’s hold each other accountable for our goals and aspirations for 2018!

  1. Although I don’t make New Year’s resolutions, but believe in making things happen right away instead, I can totally relate to your resolutions. Putting that phone down for example is a great start to actually live life as it happens and not through a lense. I wish you a wonderful 2018 and lots of love!

  2. Hey Aliya,
    I love this list! I’m in the middle of writing my resolution post right now, and one of them is going to be use my phone less! Kind of scared, kind of excited! xx

    1. Isn’t it kind of scary to think of using our phones less but I think it’s time need to focus on ourselves. It’s going to be great.

  3. Happy new year! I am also planning on taking a photography course some time this year! Photography has become one of my passions and I’d love to learn more skills I can use for my blog.
