blue monday...

This morning, on the Today Show, it was reported that today, January 6th, is the most depressing day of the year. The holidays are officially over, people are back at work, credit card bills are beginning to come in, and you've probably already cheated on your New Years resolutions.

Well... You have a choice. You can be down in the dumps OR you can turn that frown upside down and embrace this beautiful Monday. Last year is in the past. Yesterday is in the past! Today is a new day, party people!

Don't buy into today being the most depressing day of the year. It doesn't have to be for YOU!

Saw this little gem on a friends Instagram this morning. Rock on, Monday!

wait... what month is it?

Surprise! JULY IS HERE. We are half way through 2013.  I believe in goal setting all year long but for you resolution writers this reminder is for you!

Where do you stand with those goals you set for yourself back in January? Pull them out. You did write them down, yes? Take a peak.

Here is where I am with some of the goals I've set for myself in 2013...

goal: I've saved $15K

status: I've banked over $10K already! 

goal: Brett and I have a surprise for our families this Christmas (pssst... it's a baby!)

status: It may have happened sooner but I'll take it! We're 6 months pregnant and due in November. We actually get to deliver a tiny little human to our families in Ohio this Christmas!

goal: I run my 5th, 6th, and 7th marathons

status: I set a personal best on my 5th back in January. With baby on board I've hung up my kicks for the time being. I'm keeping active and staying healthy so that I can achieve my new goal of running my 6th marathon within 9 months of giving birth.

Goals will change and things will come up. Totally normal. Its OK to revisit your goals. Ensure they still make sense for you and align with what you want for yourself. Don't beat yourself up over not achieving them yet. Just get out there and commit to taking action on your goals!

If you didn't write them down and you haven't accomplished any of the things you wanted to accomplish this year might I suggest you try writing them down now? Then share, share, share! Whisper them out into the Universe and start living your dream life.
