Hello 2020 ✨

I didn’t get to post all my recap posts I had hoped to before 2019 ended, so I’ll spread them out through January instead.

 

This is my 5th year doing {onelittleword} and this year I’m focusing on WELLNESS.

2019 was rough and shitty. I lost a lot of my sense of self and had the hardest time pulling myself out — hell I still haven’t pulled myself completely out yet!

In 2020 I want to go back to my roots, to do any and everything that makes me feel like me, completely. I want to start standing up for myself more — cause tbh if you don’t make your boundaries clear, how will anyone else know what they are?

I want to work on being so confident in myself and knowing who I am that no one can ever make me question myself or have the ability to make me feel less than I am ever again. No matter who they are.

I want to work towards my 3 year plan, every single day.

I want to finish school and research things I love again — for fun.

I want to work on being more organized, being financially healthy, being on top of my bills and eliminating more debt. I want to purchase with purpose this year.

I plan to cook more and eat healthier; getting sick having it snatch my whole December sucked so much and I feel like I missed out on a lot of Christmas things.

I want to travel 3 times this year. To make up for the 3 years of being stuck in Texas (it’s literally draining my soul, not kidding).

I want to start creating more Disney content here and on my IG. Just because I don’t have access to the parks like I use to doesn’t mean I can’t still create Disney content! It’s just gonna force me to be more… creative.

Speaking of here, I also want to create a space about postpartum depression because I feel like it’s not being talked about enough and it was a big part of my 2019.

I’m hoping to do one big act of self care a month; I’m planning the first to be dying my hair again. Other examples are a day dedicated to food, getting a facial, getting a massage, going shopping — mindfully.

I’m also planning on learning Spanish as well as hoping to speak more Tagalog around Tums, that’s gonna be a harder habit to get into. But I absolutely want her to grow up learning the language as well. Being trilingual I think has made a big impact on my want for learning.

Smaller goals are do project pan — yes, really this time! And read 20 books. Last year I only read 6; this year I may go back to dedicating an hour a day to reading, like I use to. In addition to that write reviews like I use to!

I’m hoping for a more steady, successful and if anything HEALTHY 2020. We can’t control other people’s actions or how they treat us — but we can control how we feel and respond to them. With that in mind:

How someone treats you is a reflection of how they feel about themselves and has nothing to do with you.

I will try to keep that thought with me throughout the year to remind me that I know who I am, they don’t. So whatever they say about me isn’t true, just a deflection of how they feel about themselves.

I’m also starting a new blog and YouTube channel this year based around motherhood (minus the postpartum and mental part) and cooking. When I figure out where to host that blog, I’ll be sure to share it here or on Twitter and IG!

Wishing you all a happy, healthy and successful 2020 ✨.
