What’re your goals in life? Achievements you want?

I got pregnant when I had no idea what I wanted to do, I want to feel grown into my own and like I’ve achieved other things besides raising kids. Which not shaming anyone if you have opposing feelings, I just want to do something for myself as well to not feel my years spent neglecting my individuality.

To travel and show my son the world (already put this goal into action and I take my son to a new country each year, he’s almost 4 years now and we visited 5 countries so far). To have enough financial stability to be able to make significant donations to animal sanctuaries and shelters. Not occasional tiny donations but significant ones to make a difference in those animals’ lives.

I had my kids when I was 32 and 35 so I'd already achieved most of the things I wanted like getting a bachelors, masters, got established in a career I enjoy, becoming a home owner, get married and do some travelling. Now I'm happy to coast for a bit, tbh! I've still got career aspirations - I'd like to get the next promotion in 1-2 years ideally.

I'm going back to college. I have put it off so long, but I'm not giving up that dream. I was so close to going back when my daughter (now 12) turned 6 and started kindergarten, but then I ended up getting pregnant again 🤦‍♀️and I put it off again. I'll probably take up dance classes too just because I always wanted to learn certain dance styles and never had the opportunity before. I'm also not giving up on my dream of seeing the world. I may not have enough money right now, but I'm staying hopeful. Honestly there's so much I wanted to do and I feel like I've let my life slip by without allowing myself to be me and enjoying my own interests. I'm trying to change that now even though I have little ones still. I don't have to hide who I am and "you can't pour from an empty cup" so you have to make sure you're giving to your self too and nourishing your soul.

Currently in level 2.5 of bachata and salsa. My goal is to this year complete level 3, and 3.5. Then next year I wanna start kizomba dance lessons which are on a Wednesday (my dance is currently on Tuesdays and Fridays) My daily goals are doing the #75softchallenge lots of water a 45m workout, 10k steps. Also doing the #1000hrsoutside challenge taking my boy out spending time w friends and family and just enjoying my city, and life overall. Giving them a fun childhood to remember. When I’ve finished all my dancing maybe I can teach 💁🏻‍♀️ Also learning Spanish in my spare time. So I can understand the music I’m dancing to
