I’m sure there are lots more but this is as many as I could think of in the 20 minutes it took to write this post.

When I look at it like this, it’s an amazing year. I’m so pleased that I set specific goals + managed to achieve all of the above. I am so much happier + closer to where I dream of being this year than I have ever been before. I am braver, stronger, fitter + more in love with life.

How, you say, darling?

I practice what I preach, lovely one.

Every year I reflect on where I want to be.

Every month I go through key themes + write down goals.

Every week I review those goals + get myself on track.

I fall off the wagon from time to time, but I give myself a break + then get back on it.I make myself accountable by telling people in my online community + in mastermind groups what I set out to do.

I give myself the structure to reach for the stars but also the space to take a break + look at the beauty of the night sky.

If you want to achieve the same, why not gift yourself this library of happiness RIGHT NOW. I’ve just released my MAKE 2016 BLISSFUL workbook into the library so you can really start making things happen.

See you on the other side, beautiful.
