i'm not publicly talking about my goals this year.
For the past week and a half or so, I've seen dozens of posts talking about people's goals and resolutions for the year. I've considered whether I wanted to talk about my goals or not. Last year, I didn't make a post about my goals, but I did make one two years ago.
I've always held my goals and aspirations pretty close to my chest. I feel like I'm the type of person to talk about their goals and achievements after I've achieved them verses talking about them too much while I'm working on them.
Those closest to me know some of my goals, but I honestly don't really feel comfortable talking about them online. The fact of the matter is, anyone can go on my blog. It's public for anyone to read, and while there's nothing wrong with that, I do consider the fact that not everyone who reads my blog might have my best intentions in mind.
I totally believe in energies, and the power of positive thinking and the law of attraction. Therefore, I feel that if I talk about all these plans and goals on here, and someone who reads it puts some negative vibes out into the universe, then I might have to work harder to reach my goals.
On top of that, I feel like there's this silent pressure the moment you publish something. If I told you all my goals, I feel like if I didn't hit them all, I would feel like a failure.
Now that's not to say that I didn't check in with my goals around New Years! I definitely made some goals for myself, and you know what? Maybe I'll check in with you guys at the end of the year and let you know how I did!
How do you guys feel about publicly talking about new years resolutions and goals? Did you create a post this year talking about your goals? Let me know!
Have a wonderful day/night! Sending you strength, positivity, and love.
I don't blame you! I wrote about my more mundane goals, but not the ones that are more personal and important to me. Hope you're off to a good start for 2020!! xx

That's a great idea too! Keep the ones that are more important, closer to your chest. Thanks so much for reading and commenting! My january isn't going that well, but I know it's only going to get better. Hope you enjoy the rest of your January :)xxx
I couldn't agree with you more! I think part of it for me, was I grew up in a small town so anytime you didn't do what you were suppose to, people instantly talked about you, and it just added more pressure. It is no ones business, why you haven't achieved something. I also think you can create goals and realize that down the road they no longer serve you. It is a personal journey and you have to do what is best for you. I wish you the happiest and most successful 2020 sweets where ever your dreams and hopes lay. <3
I'm so glad that this post resonated with you! I can imagine that being in a small town it would be difficult to share your goals with them, without everyone else knowing, and getting talked about if they don't work out or are outside of the norm. I hope you have an amazing 2020, January is almost over but it only goes up from here xx
I think it's worse to tell my goals to close people around me and easier to share them online. Probably because friends are more-likely to check in and remember, or instantly show a reaction which I may not approve of. But having said that, once you put something online it's set in stone and I'd like to think my goals may expand or extend as I continue to develop this year.
I guess for me, if I tell someone something, I have to be confident their views won't edit mine. Which is a pretty hard thing to do.

Thanks for reading and commenting Laura! I actually have never thought about it that way. While the opinions of those online don't really matter to me, the opinions of those I care about can sway my opinion if I was already doubting myself. There are some goals that I just keep to myself, so I can work on it without the judgments of anyone other than my own. Thanks so much for reading and commenting 🙂 xx
