So… I’ve never been the kind of person that thinks about or shares new year’s resolutions, but 2020 is going to be different. It feels different. And F it, I’m not only going to think about my resolutions, but share them with the WORLD (eek!).
I could set these crazy goals like climbing Mount Kilimanjaro or meeting the Dalai Lama (things I really REALLY want to do), and yes these are on my bucket list, but let’s be real, they are difficult to achieve in a single year. So instead I’ve compiled a list of three realistic AND aspirational resolutions.
Patique Interiors
I feel like I birthed two babies in 2019, my beautiful 9 month old son Ilkay, who is the sun and the moon of my life. And my even younger baby Patique Interiors in September 2019. Patique has been in the making for over a decade and even though I qualified as an interior designer over three years ago, I’ve never had the time to properly set up my interior design studio. Yes, I’ve been doing projects throughout the years, but 2020 has to be different.
2020 is the year of blogging and sharing. The year of exciting interior design projects. The year of Dubai. And I can’t wait to share it all with you!
Health and Well-being
It’s time to finally shed that baby weight in 2020 and feel physically strong again. I cannot wait to get back in the gym (and also, I cannot believe I actually want to go to the gym lol). I found these Instagram videos and apps that have incredible workout plans that suit my first-time-mum and setting-up-your-own-business lifestyle.
A few examples I’m dying to try out: Alexandra Cane’s thehappybodyplan, Casey Batchelor’s yogablitz and Tammy Hembrow’s Tammyhembrowfitness.
My inner circle
Every passing year I realise how much quicker time goes. One year ago I was newly wed, in my second trimester pregnant, working full time as a managing consultant and living in Wimbledon London. How life has changed in twelve months!
This year is the year of family holidays, taking the time to breathe and spend quality time with family and friends. I’m thinking of date nights, a spa day every month, travelling back home to Belgium and the UK, exploring Turkey (where my parents emigrated from) and Jamaica (my husband’s family homeland), less time in front of the TV and on my phone, more time reading books and generally just being in the moment. More yoga, mindfulness and meditation.
Here’s to 2020. To a new beginning, a new chapter and a new mindset. Let’s do this!
