2020 Intentions

How do you guys feel about new years resolutions?

Personally I’ve never been a huge fan, I feel like it’s a-lot. Lots of pressure on ourselves when really we already have a-lot going on, why do we need to set unrealistic expectations for ourselves? I’ve seen this online a ton today (I’m writing this 1/1/2020) and It’s really resonated with me. “New year same me!”. I actually really love this. New year? yes. Fresh start? yes! Still me – the hardworking, badass, strong, intelligent woman I’ve always been. Yes, I change and grow as I think everyone should but just because It’s a new year doesn’t mean you should throw everything out the window that already makes you great and chase something else. Instead build off of that. In light of the new year I’ve put together a list of intentions and goals I’m setting for myself, and maybe you’ll feel inspired to try something new too. This last year for me was about pushing through a lot of crap and trying to come out on the other end, and I’m hoping 2020 will be a little more about living presently and being creative. Here’s my list:

-Create more: For me this means a lot of things. For starters creating a space for myself in this crazy life of being a new mom. Creating time for myself and the things that I don’t necessarily need to do but want to do and that will ultimately make me happier. So for me that’s creating art, writing, and spending more time creating things for the business I’m growing.

–Less TV more books: This one I’ve been working at for awhile. Reading is so relaxing and I have such a long list of books I’m dying to get into so this year I’m hoping to start checking a few off that list.

-Build meaningful connections: I have really connected with a few amazing people this year who have been in my life for a long time but it wasn’t until now that we really truly got to know each-other, and it’s so amazing. So continuing that as well as building some local connections with artists, and small business owners in hopes of doing some local in person markets this year with my small shop Heart Eyes Clothing Co. (find us on instagram @hearteyesclothingco). It seems so scary going out and connecting with people and being vulnerable enough to share something I made, but I know if I let it stop me I’ll miss out on so much.

-Move yo body: For me this isn’t about hitting the gym 7 days a week and changing my body or weight. It’s about literally just moving a little bit each day, getting some fresh air and being more present. It’s about appreciating the body I have and all it’s strengths.

-Forget what people think: Okay this one is easier said than done, and I know we all get that voice of self doubt in our heads, wondering what other people think about us but its time to leave that behind. I’ve let what other people think about me, my body, mind, business hold me back so much for so long, and It’s really time to focus on what I think about those things instead.

What are your intentions, goals or wishes for this new year? I’d love to hear! You can also follow along with me on instagram @Gina_fullam

Hope you all have an amazing first week of the new year!
