I know we've only known each other for about a week, but I've got big plans for our future together.
You and me 2016, we're going to make this year the year of being
U N A P O L O G E T I C
Today I'm linking up with Be Bold in 2016 to speak my intention for the year to come, and share the word on which I plan to base my goals.
In 2016, I am committing myself to living more unapologetically and to being myself 110% of the time, at full volume, and full speed ahead.
- Speak up more at work when a co-worker makes me feel less experienced & remind myself that I am doing a great job and deserve as much respect and confidence as anyone else
- Resist the urge to smile and shuffle away when a man "compliments" me in a way that makes me feel uncomfortable. Remind myself that I am entitled to feeling my emotions and I don't owe anyone a sweet or soft response just because I'm a woman.
- Introduce my blog on my personal social media channels. Truth be told the thought of baring my soul and past and innermost thoughts to my high school graduating class and that distant relative on Facebook scares the hell out of me. But I am proud of the work I do. I will stand by my words and continue to spread my message.
- Stop forcing activities on myself that I don't particularly enjoy just because they're considered "part of the college experience". Yes, I am 20 years old. I am at a four year university. That doesn't mean I am bound to attend football games and frat parties.
- Stress less about things that "might" upset others and smile more about being the boss of my action
- Think less about the space I take up, and if my body looks flattering to those around me. Think more about the conversations I'm putting forth and the company I'm taking in from those around me.
- Remember, above all else, that my life is mine to create. I can go anywhere. I can be anything. And I never have to apologize for any step I may take along the way to continue pursuing exactly who I want to be.
Your TURN!
