dear new years resolutions (or eras?),

What if instead of having a New Years resolution, we created our own New Years eras? Rather than challenging yourself to work out and eat healthy, it's your Self Care Era, or your year to succeed in your career is your Boss Girl Era.

Does anyone even keep their New Years resolutions? Or are they just affirmations that we tell ourselves at the beginning of each year to feel good about ourselves? And then by the end of the year we become disappointed because we never met our goal of working out everyday or eating healthy all the time.

Rather than entering 2023 with harsh goals and daily tasks that we never follow through with, why don't we set a mindset for the new year, and challenge ourselves to succeed in things that help us achieve the way we want to feel. We can refer to them as our 2023 "Eras".

For me, 2023 is going to be my Pursuit of Happiness Era. I want to enter the year with a mindset of independence and happiness in myself. So, instead of setting mundane resolutions going into this year, I'm tasking myself with engaging in one thing everyday that brings me happiness, by my self. Whether it be going for a long walk, buying myself a coffee, watching a movie, or learning a new hairstyle, I feel that being in the mindset of my "Pursuit of Happiness Era" is something that will be far more rewarding than overworking myself trying to attempt an unrealistic New Years resolution.

And, I want to help you form a 2023 Era too. Do you want this to be your year of career success, your academic-focused semester, or even your time to have more fun than ever? To help you determine what's important to you and create goals to help yourself succeed, I created a quiz that will determine your Era for the new year!

Cheers to 2023 and your new eras!

Lots of love,

Lolo
