Here is the cliché blog talking about the importance of setting goals and dedicating a year to reach them.  Let's talk about how making a list of goals that will improve yourself and your life   Taking a moment of quiet meditation to visualize 2018 will make you a healthier, more centered individual.  I’m not one for quiet medutation, I do however take a moment to jot down a few goals I have for 2018.  The only time I have for my own thoughts is at 11:23 pm when I’m trying to fall asleep.  It seems like the best time to have earth-changing ideas.  Since I can’t sleep, Ill share with you what I would like to accomplish in 2018.


Personal:

• Be more present in my day to day life/take time to enjoy the small, precious moments in life.
