Goals for My 30s

I thoroughly believe in the power of a written goal and love looking back on previous years to see how much I’ve grown. So as I enter into this next decade, I’ve decided to write down a handful of goals I have for my 30s.

• Listen more, speak less :: I really want to focus on listening more and speaking less in my 30s. I’m quite opinionated, but that doesn’t mean I need to always share my opinions. In this next decade I want to become a better listener.
• Focus on quality over quantity :: In every aspect of life – friends, purchases, food, etc.
• Take more videos :: Growing up my parents always made home videos. I really want to start creating more YouTube videos or videos in general to commemorate each season of our life. A girlfriend of mine shared a vlog from one of her trips to Thailand from 3 years ago and it made me so sad to realize I don’t have many {if any} videos from our year in Thailand. I want to be able to look back at various seasons and watch them!
• Become fluent in French :: I’m proud of how much French I’ve learned the past 2 years, but still am a long way from being fluent. In my 30s I’m determined to become fluent!
• Print more pictures :: I love taking photos. But I hardly ever print them. I had intended to make a photobook of 2020, but when our year became more house-bound, I stopped keeping up with it. I haven’t even made Cayson’s first year of life book. I really want to create more picture books.
• Become a morning person :: Everyone said I would become a morning person when we have kids. Well, Cayson likes sleeping in almost as much as I do. Who knows, maybe Baby C will make me a morning person?

• Visit at least 10 new countries :: I truly believe few traveling is one of the most rewarding, view-shaping experiences. I love how it pushes us out of our comfort zones, introduces us to new cultures and helps give us a better idea of how omnipotent our God is. I want to continue exploring and introducing my boys to the world!
• Focus on nutrition :: 2020 taught us to cook at home or eat at home more often. But that doesn’t mean our meals were more nutritious. I want to start focusing more on WHAT I put into my body in my 30s.
• Exercise more :: Anyone else go through phases of working out consistently and then I’ll go weeks {or months?} without thinking of about working out. In my 30s I want to be better about practicing yoga and building up my strength.
• Start reading more :: Before Cayson I loved to read. And while I’ve read a book here and there since he was born, I just haven’t made reading a priority. I really want to get back to reading more often.
• Declutter :: In the past couple of years I’ve gotten much more organized, but in my 30s I want to clear the clutter even more and stay tidier.
