19 for 2019
happy new year! if you read my previous post, then you know i am a fan of Gretchen Rubin’s book The Happiness Project. i don’t listen to her podcast regularly, but was lucky enough to catch an episode where she mentioned that rather than create resolutions, she makes a list of things to accomplish by the end of the year. i do have a few daily habits i want to incorporate this year, but i thought i would try out the list method this year too :)
19 in 2019
1. go to the beach at least once a month :) I live close so I definitely need to take advantage of it.
2. take a new course or earn a certification in something.
3. go to the Grand Canyon – we were going to go last month but it ended up being freezing the weekend we picked.
4. see Lady Gaga. she has a residency in Vegas, i have no excuses.
5. collaborate on a project with a friend.
6. learn how to make the perfect apple pie.
7. see a psychic! it sounds fun. kind of spooky. but mostly fun.
8. clean out my closet so that it’s more minimalistic.
9. eliminate the harmful chemicals in my cleaning supplies, kitchen, and pantry.
10. try a new fitness class.
11. spend a weekend in San Francisco.
12. ride in a hot air balloon.
13. i started this project towards the end of last year, but I really want to finish creating digital back-ups of all of my printed photos and important documents.
14. this is sooo nerdy but i want to learn something about each president (and hopefully be able to list them all off the top of my head) by the end of the year - i’m clearly still inspired by my trip to DC haha
15. learn how to cook like two meals. i can’t cook a thing - except for soup and salad. so it’s time.
16. do something last minute – i know this sounds dumb but I am the biggest planner EVER so i want to challenge myself to just wing it more.
17. go back to Big Sur :) or Joshua tree.
18. find a new food that i like - i am the pickiest eater ever so i will probably not accomplish this until the last weekend of December.
19. so i was listening to a podcast the other day and the person talking mentioned the phrase “this or better” and it stuck with me. so i’m leaving #19 blank except to say “this or better” because you have to be open to whatever may come your way that you haven’t even thought of (*also my family would kill me if i said rescue another pet so i’m playing it safe)
so that’s my list :) do you make resolutions each year? would you ever do a “19 in 2019” list? either way, happy new year + I hope this is your favorite year yet x
