Happy New Year, friends! Does anyone else feel like 2018 flew by? I honestly feel like it was just August and September and now we’re already into the new year. We did A LOT of travel last year and I feel like that contributed to life flying by, and to be honest, I’m excited for the slower pace of the new year and taking a little break from being out of town so much. I was so hellbent on traveling last year and thinking that it would somehow make me this worldly global person, and the truth is that I really get kind of homesick when I travel. I miss my dogs, my routine, and for some reason my anxiety is always at an all time high when we’re out of town. Not to sound like a hermit, but I am excited to just Netflix and jade roll for the next few weeks.
Every new year gives us an opportunity to start fresh and set new goals, and this year I just want to take things slower and be more intentional with my time, travel, relationships, and commitments. I think 2018 was the first year my blog and social media really allowed me a lot of opportunities and I will be the first to admit I was really excited and just said YES YES YES to way more than I should have. I have learned so many lessons this past year and just want to be more thoughtful with my time and energy.
This past year I’ve also had to deal with a lot of anxiety, feeling depressed and changes. I know anxiety and depression is no stranger around here and I’ve talked about it a lot, but for some reason towards the end of 2018 I’ve been more and more anxious over the dumbest stuff and I am so ready to kick that crap to the curb. Yes, I take daily meds for this and have forever, but even then there are always still ebbs and flows with my mood. I think a lot of that anxiety stems from overcommitment and trying to do to many things at one time, so this all ties back to me being more thoughtful with my time in the new year.
I am also excited to be completely redecorating our house … y’all, it’s time! We haven’t done any decorating in a few years and I just had a realization a few weeks ago that I am tired of living in a house that I don’t like, so I’m going to change that. We won’t be buying a new house any time soon, so why not improve the house we currently live in? I’m no interior decorator and to be honest, the thought of decorating makes me want to crawl in a hole (hence why it hasn’t been done in years), but I’m so over seeing all of these people with perfect houses on instagram and me sitting there thinking that I hate my house and the decor. I’m excited to share before and after pictures with you all over the next couple of months as I slowly redecorate each room in our little house.
So anyways, there’s my little New Year, New Me update- LOL. As always, I am so grateful to each and every one of you who still comes here to read and see what I post. I love you all and wish you a prosperous New Year as well!
As always, thanks for your honesty and real ness . ( is that a word?) Love following along with you! Here’s to a New Year with only the best yesses.
i think its so great that you have anxiety but still manage to travel and experience new places/things. Sometimes I would get so nervous it would force me to stay home or cancel plans. I plan on challenging this in 2019 and I’m glad nothing is stopping you!!
Love this post, Megan! Your transparency is refreshing and encouraging. Hoping your redecorating goes well and helps you love your space!
I try to keep up with kind of a notebook of goals and thoughts over the year, so I can reflect when beginning a new one. One of mine was being more intentional and encouraging in my relationships. I tend to notice a pattern- when I’m investing in my friendships and marriage more, my anxiety seems to ease a bit. Hoping the same for you!! Happy new year! Your readers love ya 🙂
Loving that these are goals and not resolutions. The word and idea of a goal is so much more attainable to me. Can’t wait to see your updates in your home it always inspires me to make improvements. I am hoping to get my home more organized this year.
I always have extra anxiety at the holidays. Way to much hype for a 24 hour day. I went to New York City and pretended like it was a normal day. The my anxiety exploded last week and had no desire for the new year. Now that I am back to my regular schedule and a little extra meds I am doing better. I also have seasonal affective disease so January and February suck!
