Veggie forward and nutrient packed, this Vegetarian Nourish Bowl is sure to leave you energized and nourished from the inside out! 

Happy 2017 friends. It’s that time when everybody is out setting intentions and goals for the year ahead. Do you feel like you’ve missed the ship? Or are you already out there goal crushing?

With the craziness of the holidays and end of the year madness, I sent my “out of office” email autoresponder and spent time with the family, which is why you haven’t seen much of me the last couple of weeks. I hope you were able to do the same and get much needed R&R.

So I get all excited about the new year because I really enjoy the planning and goal setting process, sure you can do this anytime but the new calendar year means new planners and organization at it’s best! It’s that fresh start or reset button that most of us need.

And this year I’ve set a theme or intention that I’d like to focus on and will break my goals down each month to focus on the critical few things that matter and hopefully let me feel less scattered. Less is more!

My word for the year is PURPOSE. Living a life of purpose and one that isn’t distracted, over scheduled, and too tired. The last year has been a doozey across the board and I want to “get my life back” so to speak. I thought I’d share a little about how I’m planning on putting my attention to my word PURPOSE.

But before I start organizing my thoughts and goals for the new year, I take assessment of what happened last year. Did I meet the goals that I hoped to achieve? If so, what made me successful.

Was there anything in particular that worked or didn’t work. And the answers to these questions are so helpful in building new goals and intentions and set you up for more success. 

First I’ll start off with a category brainstorm. I list out my roles and what I want to accomplish and/or experience in each category for the year.

• Self-Care {health, fitness, nutrition}

• Relationships {faith, family, friends}

• Professional {business, career, finances}

And then it’s time to cross things off the list. Wait, what? Yes, cross off some of those dreams that you just wrote down.

We like to think that we can accomplish ALL THE THINGS ALL AT ONCE. But the truth is, to be super successful, you need to become laser focused. The act of picking your top priorities and crossing off the lesser things that are going to keep you too busy, too distracted and over scheduled is so vital to success.

This is the most important step in the goal setting process and one that I need to get better at this year. Indeed, it’s my intention to have PURPOSE.

So after the goal setting is done, I like to break it down into months, taking it one month at a time. Looking over my list and asking myself  “What do I need to do THIS MONTH, to bring me closer to my goal?’ and ‘What strategies do I need to implement to make these goals a reality?”

I’d love to know, do you go through a similar process for goal setting? Do you set an intention or mantra for the year? Oh, and if your goal is eating more veggies or meal prepping recipes for the week then add this Vegetarian Nourish Bowl to your list!!
