It's day 6 of the new year. From my blog stroll it seems that the new year is treating everyone very well so far. YAY! Of course January means evaluating current circumstances, goal setting and a fresh start. This post is no different from many that I read this week. I'm not making resolutions either but rather I'm making declarations (more empowering I think).
1. Blogging more - self explanatory. And not because I need to in order to be "popular" or accepted or any of the other cliched reasons. But do it because I like it. When the feeling hits me go with the flow.
2. Release the fear - I over think every move and I over plan in my head. Which can be limiting and controlling and in my case paralyzing. There comes a time when you need to pull a Nike and just do it. For me that time is now.
3. Speak in my voice - I'm not a rock the boat person. Now don't get me wrong I'm not a pushover or a chump either. But rather I like to find common ground and not cause/contribute to confrontation if it's not necessary. However as I get older and have officially entered my late 30's (happy belated 36th birthday to me thank you very much) I realize how exhausting a personality trait that is to have. You can't please everyone all of the time and it's our differences that make the world go round so embrace it. Am I right?
4. Embrace my randomness - speaking of embracing traits I'm random. Have random interest and I like that fact. When I first started this blog I felt a way that I did not define myself as a mommy blog, or a design blog, or a lifestyle blog. Seth Adores Jai does not fit snugly into any specific category. To be honest not only does my lack of frequent blog posting hurt me (HA!) but so does my uncategorization (is that a word? If not it is today!). Folks don't know what to do with me. And that's ok. I may never have 100 9 followers. I may never get an invite to the cool kids parties or frequent commenters and that is ok too. I still like you guys despite it all. Smiles and heart emoticons!! Besides my Google analytics lets me know that I have secret visitors on the regular so thanks shadow people for the traffic and the love!
5. Live in the moment - part of releasing the fear I suppose but I don't play nearly as hard as I work. Not even close. But I don't have 6 weeks of vacation banked for nothing! Bring on the fun my friends.
How's that for a fresh start?

I struggle with #2 #5 the most. This year, I've also set similar goals and I'm looking forward to what this year has to bring. Good luck to you!
