Make a physical list of the most important people to you and make sure that they’re giving as much to you as you are to them. So step one, clean up your friendships! Here’s how: Ultimately, you have to put yourself first because no one else will. If your “inner circle” is too big it prevents you from really being there in a meaningful way for each of them and it leaves little to no time for you. For me, I think focusing on giving your all to a few select people creates a more valuable relationship than trying to spread yourself thin across 10 or 20 people.

But it is unrealistic to be that for everyone. Today, I have two really great best friends and one best friend/sister that I consider my “inner circle.” These are the three people I talk to multiple times a week the three people who will be standing with me at my wedding the three people I would stop everything for and fly across the country for in a second if they needed me. It’s nothing against the person rather, it’s something I’ve done for myself and in order to stay positive. I certainly have had people in my life that I have somewhat cut ties with over the past few years for a variety of reasons. I’m sure there are people who have “let me go” (friendship wise) because they felt our relationship was one-sided. At a certain age (I would say 26+) you learn that you may have outgrown some of your friendships, or that some are simply one-sided and that’s okay. Take a moment to reevaluate your “surroundings” and to see that the people you invest time in are also giving something positive back to you in return. Our first step to a clean slate is to ensure that you’re surrounding yourself with people who enrich your life and don’t bring you down - both in real life and online. I’ll be sharing three ways to implement a clean slate into your world and to help make 2020 your best year yet starting today (the other two tips will follow on Wednesday and Friday). It’s never too late to start fresh.Īlthough we only have one more week left of our “cream-colored” month & “clean-slate” focus, I will do my best to make the most of it for you. Just the same, the cool thing about working towards a clean slate is it’s never too late to start over, or too late to try something new! Even if you find yourself in the darkest of moments, you can get up, move on and take a step forward from where you are. To be honest, my clean slate this month was kind of thrown off focus because I was sick for a whole week, which really conflicted with my creation plans. Let’s work together to focus on some of the things in our lives that we can’t see on the outside but that are still very important.īlue Beret || Boots || Similar Boots || Skirt (00-12) || Similar Skirt (S-XL) || Similar Skirt (14-24)īlue Coat (0-14) || Blue Coat (00-12 petite) || Similar Coat (0-12) || Similar Coat (0X-3X) To this end, I am debuting “FOCUS” - a theme-based personal growth plan.Įach month “FOCUS” will cover everything from self-love to financial planning, and everything in between. Hey cuties! Excited to share something NEW we will be doing along with Color of the Month this year! In addition to continuing to feature a color each month, I invite you to also join with me as together we “try on” tackling a specific area of our personal lives.
