My 2016 New Year Theme

I love to start my new year with a theme in mind. In 2014, my theme was Patience & Perseverance. In 2015, my theme was Flow. This year, I have two themes, one theme to guide my daily life and another to guide the big picture of my year.

Theme #1: Consistency

Consistency is so important. I strongly believe that small steps taken every day will get you far. I'd like to get consistent on my daily habits: writing morning pages, meditating, exercising, and reading at least 10 pages each day. These are my four foundational habits. Once I can lock these in, then I can start adding more habits to my routine. But these four are what I'd like to focus on first, to build my life from there.

Theme #2: Be Bold

Last year, I felt like I got a bit too comfortable at times. This year, I really want to push myself more to take risks and get uncomfortable. I want to step out of my comfort zone—to go out into the world more and interact with new people & new environments. Instead of working alone all of the time, I'd like to collaborate more, start volunteering, and plan more adventures. I want to push the boundaries of what I believe I can achieve, to continue to improve and innovate in my work and life.
