Hi, ASEAN Hive Community! I am happy to share my New Year's resolution so here it is.
Back when I was single, I never made any New Year's Resolution but it was more on my travel goals for the next year. One consistent thing I made was to work more for my travel funds.
Now that I am a mother, my priorities are different now. As a new mom, I am so disorganized that I even neglected myself. No more self-care for the first two years of having two kids under two. I have to juggle my life as a mother and a housewife. I just wanted to do nothing and go to sleep. I feel so tired after giving birth to two babies. LOL! And I've been complaining a lot about doing the house chores and my insecurities.
In November 2023, I decided to buy a notebook to start my journal and bought some art materials and gadgets to start my creativity. I am happy to say that I have filled in my December monthly layout.

Sneak Peek of my Habit Tracker
I created this Habit Tracker in my journal so that I am accountable for doing things and checking everything. I included the few house chores I do every day. I am excited to fill in some colors.

I organized my things to welcome 2024. It is going to be busy in the next few months as I need to pack up some clothes again for the winter ski trip. Gosh, we just arrived from Paris a few days ago and I got anxious just doing a lot of laundry and folding the clothes.
As you can see my New Year's Resolution, it's more focused on the health side because I need to be physically ready for the winter ski trip. Also, my weight has been a dilemma for the past years after giving birth.
It's good to have a journal as I can write everything on paper. I am excited to design my journal every month as I am also planning to buy gouache paints, to pursue my creativity as part of my New Year's Resolution.
Consistency is the Key.
