"5 Years Later..."
...
I always imagine that being said in the tone from SpongeBob.
Any other 90's kids relate with that?
Anyhow!
Not sure why everyone is saying that January has felt like it's lasted 5 years.
Personally January has flown by for me!
...
I've definitely felt rushed with getting my "New Year's Goals" in this first month.
BUT, I have made progress.
...
Here are the "goals" I set for myself, and the progress I've experienced so far!
Move Somewhere Wonderful
Finger's crossed, guys, but I think Erik and I have finally found a cute apartment we both approve of.
It even has a garage for Erik's extensive collection of outdoor crap!
*Correction*
Not crap, very valuable fine kayak specimens ;)
...
Plan A Beautiful Wedding
Wow, let me just start by saying that wedding planning is in no way glamorous.
There are way more things that go into it than you could ever imagine! Despite the difficulty, I have managed to plan everything except a handful of things.
Plus, I finally found my dress ;)
Be My Own Boss
This was more of a "by the end of year" goal, but at least I've taken steps.
I had a wonderful meeting with my PR girl, Adrienne, and I feel good about where the blog and fashion line are going!
...
Travel Somewhere New
This has been my goal for the past several years, and I've done a darn good job of keeping at it!
I've seen a new state almost every year, and I still plan on it this year.
After all, one of my ultimate goals is to see every state and several countries!
More Meditating
I've nailed this one you guys!
Whether it's in the morning shower or right before bed, I have successfully cleared my mind and relaxed for 10-15 mins a day.
Whoot!
...
Daily Gratitude Journaling
Maybe it hasn't been DAILY, but it has definitely been a few times a week.
Which is fine by me, so I'm changing it to weekly journaling!
Yes, I am allowed to change that ;)
Read More Books
While I read several really great books last year, my thirst for knowledge needs to be quenched on a bigger scale!
So, I hit up Barnes & Noble and bought some goodies.
I also ordered my dear friend's first book, "Finding Grace", which I already dove into!
...
Drink More Water
I've hardly been someone who drinks enough water.
I recently read that you need to drink half your body's weight + 15 ounces PER DAY.
That's nuts.
So, I bought myself some seriously cute water bottles from Marshalls, and so far have been hitting around 55oz!
...
I'd love to hear how January has gone for you, and what steps you've taken to get to where you want to be.
Leave a comment below!

Wishing you progress and clarity in the month to come!

XOXO, Bedazzled Britt
