How do you prepare for the new year? Do you deep clean your house? Declutter? Set goals and intentions for the next year? Set up your new bullet journal?
Well, I must confess I don’t do much of the cleaning or decluttering, but I do try to set goals and intentions. Most of the time I fail, because I’m ADHD and I struggle with sticking to a goal. This year, I focused on a new goal each month. Some months I did great and other months not so much. My bullet journal helps me to track my goals and see how I’m doing from month to month.
Last week, I started taking a class on ADHD. In the class we discuss tips and strategies for helping us in our day to day lives. A lot of stuff isn’t immediately accessible to me, just because of the phase of life I’m currently in, however, I’m working on adjusting it to work for me.
With the new year coming up next week, I wanted to take some time to set my intentions for this blog. I originally started this blog because I wanted to share one stay at home mom’s experience as a mom with ADHD (and possibly Autism). I also wanted to just get back into writing, which is something I’ve always enjoyed but kind of put on the backburner for awhile.
So, my 2023 intentions for this blog are to just continue writing regularly. Share my experiences, the bad and the good, the hard and the easy. I want to share a real look into my life as a mom who struggles. The areas I’m choosing to focus on this year are: Family, self-compassion, writing, and physical well-being.
In January, my writing goal is to write four blog posts. So, be on the lookout for that! And if you don’t see one each week, feel free to message me and ask where it is, if you know me personally! Or message me on Instagram (@neurodivergent.homemaker).
Have a very happy New Year!
