One of my favorite things that I do is to review my calendar.&nbsp; I write down all of the places I have traveled to and count the new places I&#8217;ve been.&nbsp; I typically set a goal of 5 new places.&nbsp; It keeps me excited to explore new things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, I list out my friends and record how many times I connected with them throughout the year.&nbsp; Every time I do this, I am surprised at one or two friends that I have seen more than I thought.&nbsp; I am also surprised that I hadn&#8217;t seen some friends as much as I expected.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It helps me to adjust my time commitments in the upcoming year.&nbsp; As I reflect on the events I attended, I think about how energized or depleted I felt afterwards.&nbsp; This is important considering we are all very busy and should spend our time wisely.&nbsp; I do not like participating in boring activities with people that drain my positivity, but&nbsp; I love spending time laughing, learning, and doing good with people that make me better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I quickly review the upcoming calendar and review my commitments.&nbsp; If it allows, I reach out to those friends that I would want to share the experience with and invite them to join me.&nbsp; It gives enough time for everyone to plan, and if they say yes, then it&#8217;s something I look more forward to doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, this upcoming year I am committing to a digital diet.&nbsp; I am going to take one day a month to work on my personal goals and not be distracted by technology.&nbsp; I am going to unplug and not be accessible so work on my personal development and self-care.&nbsp; I think this will initially be difficult, but as some of my friends who currently do this, it will be life changing.&nbsp; I&#8217;m so excited for this.<\/p>\n<p><\/p><p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was quiet around the holidays and such a good time to reflect on the year&#8217;s activities and plan for the next.&nbsp;
