20 GOALS FOR 2020 (+ A 2019 REFLECTION)
After recently completing a post in an Instagram challenge by Alo Yoga, I have realised how truly important social media is in keeping me accountable to my goals. As an ode to this, I thought it apt to write mine for 2020.
The year 2020 seems to come out of nowhere. Reflecting on 2019, so much happened, and I can’t even imagine where I’ll be this time next year. There is a weird thing when a new year starts, that you expect dramatic changes in your life. However, coming into 2020 – it was looking like nothing was going to change. On the last day of December, I quit the job I just started (and was not enjoying), in order to come into the new year with a more positive outlook. To my delight, it has worked. It’s looking like 2020 will be a year of changes – big and small, but all miraculous. A new decade, a new start.
That being said, I am so grateful for 2019. The year 2019 brought my 200-hour Vinyasa Yoga training and my 30-hour Yin training with Powerliving in Sydney, a trip to Bali, a lot of people yelling at me in retail causing the “no shit jobs” mantra that follows me in life. It brought new love, an engagement, a new place to call home in London. My mum got a dog, my brother got a bearded dragon. I went to India by myself for seven weeks for my 300-hour training with Gyan Yog, I did my first yoga retreat with Anantadrishti. Overall, 2019 was an amazing year.
For 2020, I want to achieve so much. All of my yoga training has brought so much direction and it demands public accountability. I don’t want to lose this momentum, this drive. I hope you all enjoy and please let me know your goals too. We can keep each other accountable, keep each other strong and keep each other motivated. I know I’ll do it if you do it too.
And so, without further ado, here are my 20 goals for 2020:
Be happy
Find time for asana, pranayama, and meditation daily
Put myself first
Read more books

Namaste,
Ax
