2017

1. iPhone social media detox (for 3 months!)
Be more social, consume less media. Towards the end of 2016 I found myself mindlessly scrolling IG and Facebook or checking Snapchat even while in a conversation with my friends instead of listening. Deleting social apps off my phone, although difficult after initially going through swiping withdrawal, has allowed me to be much more present around people I love.

2. Meditate daily
I have a daily event with my fellow coworkers that reminds us to step away from our desks for a mere 15 minutes and meditate. Also the Headspace app is the perfect way as a beginner to get into meditation. Currently on a 20 day streak!

3. Work out 1 hour a week
Something is better than nothing! Also, so I don't feel discouraged when I only work out once.

4. Meet 3 new people
(When going out to a bar.) Welp 2017 is here and I'm still single, but I recently got out of a relationship that started by me gathering the courage to approach guys at a bar instead of waiting around for them to talk to me. Why not?! I literally have nothing to lose

5. No buying clothes/home goods (also for 3 months)
I'm trying to save money for a new car and after a flurry of spending activity in December, so no buying unnecessary 'clutter' items. However, I can spend on food and experiences.

Looking back, 2016 was a year of ups and downs, but I'm so excited and optimistic for the future!
