Hey guys! I originally wrote this post back in January, but for some reason it never posted! So here is my post back from the beginning of the year to keep you up to date with all of the crazy stuff going on in my life.
Hey guys! I hope you all have had an awesome time over the holiday season, and are having a great start to your new year. This time of year is always full of traditions, and I figured I could share one of mine with you guys. At the beginning of every year I come up with a list of things I am going to conquer in the next year. I personally like to set goals that I want to achieve this year, and every year I always have a theme. So this year I decided the theme would be all about health.
I know that seems vague, but within that theme I have super specific goals for certain aspects of my health. The different levels of health I'm going to focus on is: Physical, Mental, and Financial Health.
For my Physical Health the thing I wanted to conquer was getting healthy, getting a gym membership, and creating a workout schedule and routine. Luckily a lot of people have a new year's resolution to get fit, so a lot of companies will launch specials. I cant afford a lot of money towards a gym membership each month. I had some extra money I had saved up from Christmas to put down towards a gym membership. After looking through a bunch of local gym specials the one that fit best for my budget was Planet Fitness. So they had a deal where if you put $1 for the regular membership, and $6.06 for the Black Card Membership. Then you would pay the next couple months at regular price, and then on the third month that would charge you the $40.99 for either membership. So if its the same cost for the annual membership, why not get the better one? So I called my local Planet Fitness membership to make sure that was correct, and they confirmed it was. So I ended up going with the Black Card Membership. You get a ton of extra perks, and I get to bring a friend with me for free each time I go. Which will make me more motivated to go. I went ahead and included a link for you guys to go check it out. Although they aren't running any specials right now, from my personal experience they do run specials often. Plus in my area they are one of, if not, the cheapest option besides working out at home. You guys should check it out!

So next on my list was Mental Health. When it comes to my busy schedule it is easy for me to get, and stay stressed out. I'm one of those people that I always having to be busy doing something. Which is great because I'm more productive, and get more stuff done. However, I hardly ever take time to just relax. So for my mental health I decided I would go on four experiences this year. Luckily I had already planned a couple of these. I actually have definitely three experiences for this year. The others just depend if I can get off for work or not. Here is my list of events:
-John Mulaney Stand Up-Kid Gorgeous (Completed January 17, 2018)
-American Ninja Warrior- April 29 & 30, 2018 (Depending on if tickets are available!)
-Kesha & Mackelmore Concert-July 19, 2018 (Confirmed)
-Gen Con-August 2-5 (Confirmed)
-Fall Out Boy Concert- October 7, 2018 (Depending on if we can get tickets!)
For these experiences because I know about them and plan them ahead of time it makes it so much easier to actually set aside time for them. When I actually stop to take time, and go to these events I always have a great time. It gives my body and mind a nice reset. Then once the event is done it makes my mind more focused and makes me more productive at work. The biggest event I am looking forward to is Gen Con. Which you guys will hear more about the closer it gets to the actual event. If you guys want to check it out you can go to their website which is linked below!

The last part in the list of things I want to conquer in 2018 is my Financial Health. I know this sounds silly, but it really is an important thing that I want to accomplish. I think its super important to have great financial health, and that goes beyond just having a savings account. To conquer this I have created an updated budget for myself. With that I realized I spent a lot more money than what I originally thought I did. So along with making that updated budget I recently got a second job. I do school online so it makes it pretty flexible for me to be able to do that. I am in the process of getting a new car, so the extra money helps with this important goal of mine. If you guys want to see what tools I used to help me budget let me know, and I can make a post all about that.
I hope you guys have had a great start to the year already. Mine has been supper exciting and productive so far. Have a great rest of your night or day, and I will talk to you guys soon! :)
