Ins and Outs of 2024

In a beautiful world that has come to hooray the hustle, I find my sweet-loving soul rebelliously dancing to the contrary — for this season, busy has no place, busy cannot lasso my time. It is down by the river, sunbathing on silky rocks.

Happy New Year's Eve Eve, sweet friends! 🎊

I don't know if you've seen this trend, but I am loving seeing everyone's ins and outs for 2024.

As someone who is taking a softer approach and forgoing the traditional way of setting goals and resolutions, creating these lists was a really fun and stress free way of setting intentions for 2024. This coming year, I'm stepping away from the busy, the hustle, and slowly dancing into the soft, the feminine, the intentional, and the romance of life.

Here are my ins and outs of 2024..

 A few details...

• Wednesday date nights - I am single, but I want to hold this space open for date nights when I meet my person. In the mean time, I will use this time to journal, pray, and manifest meeting my husband.
• Daily glow ups - Doing something each day to take care of myself. This can be getting ready for the day, curling my hair, self care showers, extra skincare, doing my nails, etc. Each day I want to look presentable (able to leave the house) and be ready for whatever life has for me that day. I'm thinking a light makeup look and putting on real clothes.
• A2A Gives Back - Staring in January, 15% of monthly membership revenue will be spent on supplies or monetary donations to local charities, including: homeless shelters, animal shelters, children's advocacy centers, domestic violence prevention centers, women's shelters, and more. God blessed me with a platform, and I want to find more ways to give back in 2024.
• Notion calendar & trackers - I am going into 2024 without a daily planner. 😱 It just isn't the vibe for me this year, and I wanted to simplify. Instead I will be using my digital calendar in Notion, a to-do list notebook, and I want to keep up with my Fit Girl Club Notion tracker for health and wellness.
• Food guilt & diet trends - My focus when it comes to food this year is to simply lower the amount of processed foods I eat. Demonizing food groups does a lot of harm, as it causes under-eating and stress (I know this from personal experience).
• "Too expensive" & "I can't afford..." - I am removing these words from my vocabulary. It's time to heal our relationships with money and manifest the wealth we dream of.
• Taking advice from men - Before you get mad at me, let me explain! 😅 Men are great, I love men.. but, in 2024 I don't want to listen to their advice when it comes to business and health. Why? Because 98% of the time, their advice does not apply to women or at least, it doesn't apply to women who are wanting to live in, heal, or embrace their feminine energy. Women are not consistent creatures like men are (think of the 4 phases of our cycle), and in 2024 I don't want to hustle or wake up at 5am or do a high intensity workout 6 days a week or do a cold plunge or burn myself out from working harder and harder.. it's just not the vibe (for me) in 2024. If you're there and ready to girl boss in 2024.. I will be here cheering you on!
• Being bothered - One of my favorite things I practiced this year was a "not bothered" attitude/mindset. It is so freeing not letting people or small things bother you. You don't have to react or respond to every little thing that is annoying or something you disagree with. If someone says something to get a reaction out of you, just think "not bothered" and don't respond.. trust me, it's fun!
• Listening to cheap opinions - Years ago I heard someone say "don't let the people in the cheap seats have an expensive opinion of your life." This can be hard and takes some practice, but it's so worth it. Remember.. if someone gives an unwanted opinion, we're not bothered.
