Vision Board Inspo

2020 was supposed to be a completely different year than it has been. Honestly it was going to be about professional and personal growth, travel, etc. etc. not this whole COVID pandemic and killer hornets and whatever other sucky thing has happened in 2020.

Since we can’t control the way 2020 is going to end, at least not until there is a cure or vaccine against the Coronavirus, we can attempt to make the best of the last 4 months in the year. This brings me to today’s blog challenge post prompt…current vision board inspirations!

First and foremost, remains my professional growth. I hadn’t updated my resume in the two and a half years I’ve been back in Miami, so I did that which made me extremely proud of myself. It isn’t to look for a new job or anything, I love what I do, but I did need to update it. Honestly – I did consider the idea of looking for a new job within the company because I didn’t want to get burnt out and I didn’t want to get to a point where I hate my job, but I realized I’m not there yet. I wouldn’t be opposed to applying if something amazing came up but I’m not actively looking.

Also having to somewhat do with work is the organization and redecoration of my “loft” back home. I have really tried to make sure that I make a place for myself where I am comfortable and since we’re working from home for the foreseeable future, somewhere that I can concentrate. It’s been extremely important to me to separate “sleeping” or “lounging” with work. I’ve been working three times as much as I did in the office, actually I’m working maybe one time as much because I’ve always been a workaholic…anyway, back to the point – it has been really important to separate everything so that I don’t fall into a depression or make my anxiety worse.

Another vision board inspiration is self-care. All of these clearly tie to each other, but honestly…self-care has become a huge thing for me. I can’t even begin to explain to you the obsession I’ve created with it, and not in the “I need to get a manicure/massage/workout/whatever” kind of way. My definition of self-care is in making sure my mental health, my actual health, my hair, my skin, my body, and everything else makes me happy. I have written numerous posts about the stuff I’ve bought at Sephora and Amazon that I’ve become obsessed with, especially skin and hair care, but it doesn’t stop there. Self-care is a HUGE theme for 2020, especially with COVID. Making sure that I stay healthy in all aspects of the word is extremely important (I’m also asthmatic so with COVID if I don’t take care of myself I could get really sick). My Pinterest board is 90% hair-inspo or skincare products, even some DIY ideas because I’ve recently discovered that making bracelets or doing tie dye is extremely therapeutic.

I was going to havre a half marathon in November, but it has been cancelled due to COVID (or converted to a virtual race, which I don’t want to do). That was another vision board “goal” for me. I wanted to properly train (for once) and PR (or set a personal record). In a way I am happy it was cancelled because I hadn’t started training and with heat in Miami it is really hard to want to go outside and run. Plus, we have officially started Hurricane season in Miami and the rain feels never ending.

Obviously, blogging, is another theme for my vision board of 2020. I restarted blogging after not doing it for two years and it’s been really refreshing. It’s funny because my family are constantly teasing me that I should become an influencer because they like my recommendations or suggestions, outfits, etc. I never really wanted or cared to become one, but I think I’ll use it as inspiration for this blog. Might as well.
