My personal theme this year is "Liftoff Year". I laid groundwork in 2019 with my “Year of Establishing Adulthood” via habit building and seeking positive relationships and now I want to explode onto the scene with personal growth. I want to dig in and approach the year with high energy to really take off.

My takeaways from my 2019 theme included the need for more measurable goals to track progress and achievement throughout the year. My theme is intentionally high level and not specific in order to capture many facets and direct my mindset over the course of the year; but within that I need small and achievable goals to make sure I am moving in the right direction.
