They say day one is the beginning of it all from the moment we are born. But January 1st is a new beginning for a new chapter , each year in our lives, new things will be recorded in our memories. From the moment its midnight the first word spoken is the beginning of that first sentence of that brand new chapter. I like to think the most important moment of a chapter is that first sentence it sets the whole chapter. I watch those new year kisses happen when the clock strikes twelve but I listen to the beginning silence after the joy what are the first words to start the new year. I stay up longer in the morning just thinking about what I want out of the new year and what I did already.

What will be your first words be when the clock strike midnight?

Fresh start , a new beginning in the sense. Three hundred sixty five days to achieve , make success happen or make a change. Start with plan to things happen, even if its small tiny steps for a month or two but add those big steps and see where you end up; you will be quite surprised with yourself. Even if you don't success at first go, keep going, push along as if you have nothing left like trying out a new exercise. There will be frustration, sweat and maybe a few tears but at very least you went for it and that can't be taken away from you. Whatever your beginning goal starts with look at the big picture , the ending credits ;where you exactly want to be. And start that's the biggest step for you.

what do you want to add to your credits?

Sometimes people say they want to lose weight as there new year resolution. That is a great goal to complete by the of end the year is losing weight. I used to do that but set myself for losing weight and exercising but things kept getting in my way was my excuse. Until I changed what losing weight to meant to me, I found things easier. I let go of all the pressure, I didn't strict myself to diet plan but changed to healthier choices, I started with exercises that made me feel good about myself like pilates. Even when I didn't workout on certain days , I went on walks or did a set of push ups and crunches. I want to feel good in my soul and heart then just setting a weight goal. Losing weight means to me is feeling lighter in my heart mind and soul then just pounds.

That's when I figured out to create meaningful slogans for the year instead of resolutions for the year.

The before week of new years , I think about few things. First :What is my word/ slogan going to be for the year? Secondly what do What I want to achieve this year the most? Lastly what kind plan or planner do I need ?

Last year my slogan was saying "Yes to things". And that opened doors, experiences and lessons. Some amazing trips to places I haven't been before and I still need to finish edits. My achievement of 2018 would be, I produced more work than I have in the past even through I am behind on edits, I showcased more work than before, New blog, New store and connected with some awesome individuals. I got out of my comfort zone without even knowing it.

This Year 2019 , I plan on going beyond, hitting more than just dreams but making them more a reality. In short terms "Impress myself". I heard a quote a few months ago and it has been in my head lately "Comfortability is the enemy of progress" What that means to me :Keep moving , keep doing and see what happens. And the only enemy of not achieving what you want in life is you, no obstacle to small or big will stop you if you don't let it, stop You. Above all else do things this year that make you happy, even if that's a simple bubble bath in silence. Take care of your body and open your mind, see where it all leads to. Be free, don't just sit still.

2018 was a interesting book for all of us, I think. Lots of changes that we still don't understand. We all lost so pretty amazing people that we can't to seem understand why they are gone. But they are watching us. There was also some beautiful moments babies coming into the world.Friends and families completing goals and making their footprints. We all learned some lessons about the world and gone through our toughest times but we are all here, Beautiful as Us.

Keeping moving and smiling along the way.
