Why it is NOT too late to make your 2013 goals!
1) Goals are much more about little steps than they are about big successes. Many people think that if they don't start right at January 1st or do something successfully every week during that they have failed. This is just not true! Small steps and victories are the best way to gain self confidence when it comes to goal setting!
2) Goals give you a reason to do something fun or something good for yourself! Many nights I sit around wondering what to do with my evening. When I have goals I can spend time working towards them instead of wasting hours of facebook. At the end of the year, even if I didn't finish my goal, I definitely made steps in the right direction & probably had lots of fun doing it!

What is on your 2013 list?
All for now,
Love your goals!!! So many of them ring true to me too, and are ones I have had in the past, especially the houseplant thing and making cleaners! I have been doing a lot of making cleaners and household items, and I am planning to post more on my blog in 2013, so we can work on our goals together!
ReplyDeleteThat's so fun! I got this great set of bottles and a little cleaner "cookbook" and I have read them a lot but haven't started making them yet. I am excited to though! :) Excited to see yours posted? :)
ReplyDeleteI love your goals! Thanks for the link, friend :) Question....what is upcycling? I guess I could google it, huh? Happy Day! xoxo
ReplyDeleteHey SUZE! :) Thank you! Upcycling is taking something old or not used and turning it into something pretty or more useful! I currently turn old buttons and clip on earrings into rings, earrings and brooches. I love it! I want to start doing it with bigger stuff like old furniture and housewares! :)
