Your writing actually really spoke to me when it came time to set resolutions and intentions, specifically the idea of living (hiding) in fantasies to avoid actually living. My top intention is "less fantasizing, more doing" -- this applies to my writing, friendships, dating, running, etc. Trying to have a year that reflects the simple idea that how you spend your days is how you spend your life, so doing the things you value regularly is very important!

I'm a big GOALS GIRLIE and consume all sorts of goal achievement and productivity content, but at the end of the day I am also a full-time working mom of two small kids -- so, this year I am really trying to embrace that my life as it is is FULL UP and I will NOT be taking on anything new. What I will be doing is tackling all my duties and responsibilities and pleasures with RELISH AND GUSTO. Relish translates into trying to adopt habits to remove friction and irritation (meal planning! grocery delivery! focused tidying sessions!). Relish means taking time to schedule out special time with each of my family members -- pay for babysitters, plan weekends away, doing the little annoying house projects or better yet pay someone else to do them! I have promises to keep and I intend to enjoy keeping them.
