Happy first Monday of 2019! I'm super excited to officially be kicking off my monthly wellness challenges today with January's challenge: Dry January. Before you scoff at the idea of no drinking for an entire month, keep reading because it might look a little different than what you think.
Here's how this is going to work: Every month in 2019 I'll be posting a wellness challenge that I'll be completing along with you...
Today's post is basically my content to do list for 2019 shared publicly, LOL. I mentioned yesterday that I would be creating more regular series to keep my blog more organized and my sanity in check, and I spent a lot of time over my holiday break thinking about how this would look. I scoured your answers from my survey and picked series that made me feel excited and that aligned with the types of content you requested.
Happy 2019! It feels both exciting and weird to be working again after taking so much time off. To be honest, I've never been great at relaxing, and always itch to get back to work after about five days, and this time was no different. So instead of just relaxing, I spent a lot of time thinking about how I want this year to look on Lemon Stripes.
Looking back on my posts from 2018 for this post made me cry. It's been a year of major personal growth, and when I look at photos from earlier in the year, I actually can't believe how far I've come. I've focused most of the year on dealing with my anxiety head-on. The progress that I've made since I started therapy in March has been unreal, and spending the time and money on it has been the best decision I've made all year.
