Happy New Year to my fabulous JoyLovesFashion readers!

I just want to take this time to thank you for supporting my blog. I plan to make this year (my 7th year blogging) the best ever for JoyLovesFashion and I can’t wait to show you what I have up my sleeves for 2016 : )

With this new year, it’s about being the best you possible. Nothing negative that happened in 2015 matters. You have a clean slate to be anything you want. Take my advice:

1. Make a list of everything you didn’t like about yourself in 2015. Be as honest as possible.

2. Using the 2015 list as a reference, make a list of how you will be in 2016. I find that it’s best to turn the negative of 2015 completely around. For example, if you felt you were “lazy” in 2015, write “hard working” on the 2016 list.

3. Now comes the fun and powerful part. Realize that with this new year, nothing from 2015 matters. You are a brand new you. Say your brand new 2016 list out loud and really feel yourself claiming your new way of being. Say your new list with conviction and pride. As you are saying the list out loud, this actually turns into your affirmations for 2016.

4. Repeat your new 2016 list every morning and night, preferably in front of a mirror so you can see yourself as you’re saying it. Our mind and words are so powerful. What we say becomes real if we say it enough and if we put power into our words.

Wishing you the most amazing year!
