It’s a new year, a new day, and a new 30-day yoga challenge by Yoga With Adriene is here. I’ve tried to complete Adriene’s challenges several times over the years but last year was my first time actually succeeding. Blogging about it each day REALY helped me hold myself accountable, so we’re doing that again. Welcome to the new challenge, y’all! (I’m amped.) Oh, I got a little crafty and created several graphics to accompany the posts — juu liiike it? The illustration is based off of lerarelart’s on 123rf.com.

I spent the entire day binge-watching “Foundation” on Apple TV. I could’ve worked on a pattern or cleaned up my messy apartment but all I felt like doing was nothing. Yea, now I’m about to go to bed and aim to be productive tomorrow. Oh, hopefully, y’all don’t mind that I haven’t been talking about yoga much. I’m still doing the challenge, not as diligently as I had set out to, but I’m doing it. I guess I’m just not that into the daily challenge this year.

One of my goals for the year is to be okay with not hitting every mark. Sometimes, I get so wrapped up in the plans that I set to meet my goals that, when things don’t go as planned, I feel like a failure. Life is unpredictable and I need to be okay with that. It doesn’t matter what route I take as long as I get to where I need to be. Right? Right.
