10 Reasons to Set Goals

10 Reasons to Set Goals

Setting goals is vital for personal growth. I always say that if you are going to set goals, you also have to create a step-by-step plan to achieve that goal. I will write a future post on ways to accomplish your goals, but here we share 10 reasons to set goals for the new year!

1. Direction and Focus:

Setting goals gives you a clear sense of direction and helps you stay focused on what you want to achieve in the coming year.

2. Motivation and Inspiration:

Goals provide motivation and inspiration to take action and work towards your desired outcomes. They give you something to strive for and keep you driven.

3. Personal Growth and Development:

Setting goals can lead to personal growth and development. It pushes you out of your comfort zone, helps you learn and acquire new skills, and encourages self-improvement.

4. Increased Productivity:

When you set goals, you become more organized and prioritize your tasks. This boosts your productivity because you will have a clear roadmap to follow.

5. Sense of Achievement:

Completing your goals provides a sense of achievement and fulfillment. Celebrating these accomplishments boosts self-confidence and encourages you to set and achieve even bigger goals.

6. Better Time Management:

Goal setting forces you to manage your time effectively. It helps you prioritize important tasks and avoid wasting time on unproductive activities.

7. Overcoming Procrastination:

Setting goals helps overcome procrastination as you have a specific target to work towards. It provides a sense of urgency and encourages you to take action instead of putting things off.

8. Clarity and Decision Making:

When you have set goals, you gain clarity about what you want. You will make decisions that align with your goals.

9. Increased Accountability:

Goals create a sense of accountability as you have something to measure your progress against. Being accountable helps you stay committed to your goals and avoid distractions.

10. Greater Happiness and Fulfillment:

Setting and achieving goals can lead to greater happiness and fulfillment. It gives you a sense of purpose and direction, making you feel accomplished and satisfied when you see progress and reach milestones.

Top 15 Self-Care Essentials

Top 15 Self-Care Essentials

Our posts may contain affiliate links. I’ll receive a commission if you purchase through my link. There is no extra cost that you have to make.

Taking care of yourself is essential to feel your best. It is important for both your physical and mental health. Self-care can help you manage stress and increase energy. Self-care has a variety of meanings because it can mean indulging in a movie marathon and having ice cream. It can also mean enjoying a healthy meal, drinking tea, and taking an online yoga class. It really is knowing what your body and mind need at that moment. Let’s dive deeper into the top 15 self-care essentials!

Food/ Drinks:

1- Water-

Drinking water is the utmost important part of taking care of yourself. Water can change your mood to a better one. Signs you are not drinking enough water include headaches, tiredness, weakness, light-headedness, low blood pressure, high heart rate, and muscle cramps. What are you waiting for? Start drinking 8 cups of water today!

2- Coffee-

There is nothing better than having a classic cappuccino, coffee, or tea in the morning. It seriously can make your day.

3- Brownie Mix-

You might wonder why brownie mix is on the list of self-care essentials. We recommend having brownies, cupcakes, cookies, ice cream, and unhealthy snacks because it is good in proportion! Sometimes, we need to eat all the yummy desserts here and there.

Relaxation:

4- Candles-3 Wick Candles for Home Scented Soy Wax Jar Candles Gifts for Women Large Lavender Candle 14.5oz 75 Hours 2 Pack Lavender and Mokara

Lighting scented candles instantly can put you in a better mood! We also recommend candles from Bath and Body Works. My favorite scent is Black Cherry Merlot. 

5- Journal-

Writing in a journal can help bring yourself out of a low place and act as a therapist as you can vent about your emotions. This 150-page 6″ x 9″ blank softcover lined travel book is the perfect size for recording memories from your trips. You can use it as a diary or record other important information. The cover features an old-fashioned map and other vintage ephemera. 

6- Canvas for Painting-

Painting is a relaxing hobby that can get your mind off anything you are currently stressing about! This 5-pack of canvases are only $6.00 and are a perfect way to get started! We also recommend booking a paint and sip class!

7- Scrapbook-

Preserve your special memories for future generations and exercise your creativity by scrapbooking. You can print out your pictures in seconds if you go to CVS or order them online and pick them up later that day! This scrapbook has 16 solid color options and 40 pages to decorate!

8- Books-

Did you know we spend an absurd amount of time on our phones in today’s society? Can you imagine spending half of that time reading? How many books do you think you would be able to get through? Don’t like reading? No problem. You can listen to books!

9- Movies-

Who does not love staying in, wearing pajamas, and watching movies on a relaxing night? View my full list of movies I recommend on Amazon. 

Exercise:

10- Yoga Mat-

Stretching keeps your muscles strong, healthy, and flexible. The results of stretching every day are a feeling of increased muscle control and range of motion. A FBSport yoga mat is perfect for all of your at-home workouts, also. Exercising releases endorphins, and Chloe Ting’s workouts on YouTube will do just that! Her workouts will change your mood to a more positive one.

11- Yoga Headband-

Our yoga headbands are made for movement and are perfect for if you are going for a run or simply stretching.

We even make custom headbands. Custom Headbands make for a perfect way to promote your business!! We have no minimum purchase. Please email us at [email protected] your artwork, the color of the headband, and whether you would like 2″ wide headbands or 3.5″ wide headbands and we will send you a layout of what the headbands will look like. We will also send you a quote. We have bulk discounts. The more headbands you order, the less it will be per headband!

12- Yoga Pants-

The best yoga pants, in my opinion, are from Lululemon!

Skin Care:

13 -Facewash-

It is the best feeling in the world to put on a face mask or wash your face at the end of a long day or in the morning. Of course, we had to add facewash to the list.

14 -Lotion-

We recommend any lotion from the company Bath and Body Works.

15 -Perfume-

I swear by Victoria’s Secret Tease perfume. It is the best-smelling perfume that I use day in and out!’

BONUS: Our Monthly or Digital Planners!

Our planner is an AWESOME way to get organized!! View all of our planners!
