Well hello, 2017. Thank you for joining us. Please sit and stay awhile, at least longer than 2016 did. I have such grandiose plans for you. Let me fill you in on the expectations I have for this year.
Two words: wellness & resilience.
Wellness:
2017 is the year of wellness. It’s going to be more than going to the gym and eating well. The wellness I want to develop is one that focuses on the mind and spirit. Focusing more on if I am taking deep breathes instead of checking to see if I have any new messages. Reading more books instead of getting caught up in multiple Netflix series. Planning more time to grow my spiritual relationship with Jesus. Allowing myself to spend more time at home when I want and allowing myself to spend more time with friends when I want. More importantly listening to what I think I need.
Resilience:
2017 is the year of resilience. My whole entire world is going to be shaken this year. I am graduating from college. I am going to go to big girl job interviews. I am going to get a big girl job. I am going to move out on my own. Full on adulthood is soon going to be my new reality. Through all of these changes I need to be resilient in striving for wellness. It is going to be a huge task, yet 2017 will be so much better if I am able to practice resilience even when things keep knocking me down. I want this year of change to be something I am able to look back on and be proud of my ability to see the good even when things may not seem so great.
Elsie’s Element is going to follow the journey of wellness and resilience this year. Blog posts will range from reviewing new books to how to take the pain out of traveling. I would love for you to join me this 2017.
Do you have any words that define your 2017?
