A Fresh Start

2016 is gone and 2017 is here!!!

YAAHHHHHYYY!!!

Now that the excitement of bringing in the new year has died down and today is day 1 of 2017, what are some of the things have you experienced and learned in 2016 that you will take with you in 2017?

Everyday is a learning experience and we all go through something that has changed our thinking process. Each year has it's ups and downs. We've made mistakes, people have disappointed us, friendships/relationships have ended, and new one's have begun, etc, etc.

But with all of these experiences whether bad or good, we're suppose to take a valuable lesson from them. Because there's a lesson in everything we go through. So, what valuable lessons did you take from your experiences in 2016?

Here are 20 of the many valuable lessons that I've taken from 2016:

1. To be consistent in everything I do

2. To forgive myself when I make a mistake

3. To trust myself

4. To give 100% but to also practice self-care

5. To use and manage my time effectivley, do something everyday towards my goals

6. Knowing that saying "No" is not a bad thing

7. Stay true to self

8. Knowing that who I am is enough

9. To support those who genuinely support me

10. To not take people's opinions to heart because that's exactly what they are, opinions

11. To do what I feel is good for me, no matter who thinks it's not

12. To live in the moment, because every minute counts

13. To step back and take a deep breath when things seem overwhelming

14. To smile more, takes too much energy to frown

15. To laugh a lot, laughter is good for the soul

16. To understand more because people are who they are for a reason

17. To make myself my first priority because if I don't take care of myself, everything around me won't flourish

20. and last but not certainly the least, TO ALWAYS BE THE QUEEN I WAS CREATED TO BE! AND LOVE MYSELF UNCONDITIONALLY, APOLOGETICALLY AND FLAWLESSLY!
