2021 Word of Intention: Progress

Last year, I stopped making New Year's resolutions and began practicing words of intention to live my year by. My word last year was focus. I wanted to live my year with the intention of slowing down, paying attention and focusing on my goals ahead. 2020 as a whole made that very difficult to achieve, but I'm glad that, while I may have lost sight in the middle of the year amidst everything that happened, I'm glad that in the third part of the year I was able to get back on track.

I even bought and 75% adhered to a planner to help reestablish a sense of focus, give me a grasp on time, and get me generally organized again; something very difficult for people with ADHD to manage.

For 2021, I decided that my word of intention would be progress. It's easy to make intentions and not go anywhere. I want to have 2021 be the year that I moved following after the year that I stood still.

This year, I will be putting more progress into the direction of my content creation, as well as my art creations. I have made goals not only for my blog and Instagram, but also for my Twitch and YouTube channels, and my Etsy store. I want to create and have those creations be presented to the world. I know that'll be hard as Mike and I try to expand our family and will have to navigate all of this at the same time. I feel more prepared from my past experiences and truly believe in myself that I can manage it all.

This quote is really going to be my mantra this year.
