10 Choices to Make in the New Year to Lead a Happier and More Fulfilling Life

January 10, 2017 Adrianna Naomi
10 Choices to Make in the New Year to Lead a Happier and More Fulfilling Life

Hey guys, I’m back from my two-week trip to Puerto Rico and feeling more refreshed than ever! Sure thing, these freezing NYC temps are not ideal but I can’t really complain. For the first time in a very long time, I was able to go back home and fully disconnect from all the noise and nonsense. YES! I fully unplugged and took a much-needed break which helped to put a lot of things in perspective.

How did I do it? Well, for starters, I brought my Canon EOS 70D DSLR camera and didn’t even use it (lolz, right?) I took a solid break from regularly posting on Instagram, from publishing blog posts, and even from checking my email! I swear, I just enjoyed the present moment, the warm weather, the company of all the wonderful people I got to reconnect and spend time with, and I just existed.

Much more than a digital detox, this time off got me thinking. How could I ever come back to New York and continue to feel the same amount of inner peace and fulfillment I felt while I was away? What could I possibly do upon my return to continue to lead this blissful state of being? What things and/or actions was I carrying about differently during my trip, which I could further put into practice in my day-to-day hectic NYC lifestyle?

Friends, take note. After a hell of a good time and a bit of soul searching, these are the 10 life choices we should all be making in the New Year (and going forward) to lead a happier and more fulfilling life. Because there is no point to being constantly stressed, depressed, or miserable. I hope you enjoy them and begin putting them into practice ASAP!

10 Life Choices to Make to Lead a Happier and More Fulfilling Life

  1. In life, all the validation you’ll ever need is yours to give to yourself. Stop depending on others to remind you how amazing, capable, valuable, talented, and skillful you are.
  2. Solidify your self-perception by truly and wholeheartedly believing in everything you set yourself out to accomplish. If you don’t believe in yourself now, who will?
  3. Put yourself, your needs, and your overall stability first. Make your happiness a daily priority.
  4. Your time is precious and extremely valuable, start spending it with the right people. Remove any toxic and unhealthy relationships from your life immediately.
  5. Dedicate more quality time to your family and loved ones. These are the people who truly matter.
  6. Let go of self-limiting thoughts and behaviors. Stop being your worst enemy.
  7. Practice positive affirmations, daily.
  8. Practice gratitude, daily.
  9. Remain organized and on top of your commitments but don’t overbook your schedule. Prioritize accordingly and don’t feel bad if you reject an invite from time to time.
  10. Live in the moment and regret nothing.

As for my outfit, I did a fun New Year’s photoshoot with my fellow blogger frands SJ and Natalie, featuring these lovely little pieces from Adrianna Papell. Continue scrolling for the fun shots we took and the full outfit details!

⠀
I am immensely proud to share that these BEAUTIFUL human beings + myself have graduated 200hr Yoga Teacher Training at @CorePowerYoga! Still letting it all sink in (slash) floating on cloud 9! This is just the beginning. 🧘🏽‍♀️☁️⠀
⠀
Lovers, I'm dead serious about this shiz. ANYTHING is possible when you trust yourself and your capabilities; believing in yourself is the first step. Once this happens, everything else aligns! ⠀
⠀
Your actions, attitude, mindset, willpower, and determination will be guided by the tone you set at the beginning of your journey towards achieving any goal. Write 👏🏽 This 👏🏽 Down 👏🏽 And 👏🏽 Manifest 👏🏽 Your 👏🏽 Truth! 👏🏽⠀
⠀
Honored to have shared such a remarkable experience with these individuals. Humbled to have been guided by these inspiring and remarkable instructors. Thrilled to continue to share what I've learned from yoga with all of you as a teacher and a life-long student. Namaste. #affirmationoftheday #ytt #ouryogajourney #cpy #liveyourpower

Forever in a bun and/or ponytail. 💁🏽‍♀️ But seriously, I'm done with hair elastics that overstretch + wear out after a couple of uses. Thank heavens for @goodyhair and their Goody Ouchless Forever™ Elastics, which hold like spankin' new time after time! 👌🏽⠀
⠀
Designed to bounce back to their original shape after each updo, these babies keep my hurr in check on/off the mat, while cleaning my apt, on nights of endless dancing... You get the idea. 😄 #GoodyPartner
"The only thing that is ultimately real about your journey is the step that you are taking at this moment. That's all there ever is." — Eckart Tolle⠀
⠀
Today I took my #YTT written exam, on Sunday I have my Teaching Practical; by then, I'll only have 12 more yoga classes to take in order to complete my 200-hour certification. 🧘🏽✨⠀
⠀
People tell me, "There's a light at the end of the tunnel!" but it's not about that. I'm soaking in every bit of experience which will better prepare me for my next step as a yoga teacher, and I'm absolutely head-over-heels in love with the process. ⠀
⠀
Exhausted? Certainly. But I'm taking utmost care of myself + nourishing my mind and body. I've learned so much through this experience and everyone who's taken part of it. Words can’t describe how grateful I am for my @CorePowerYoga family. #CorePowerYoga #CPYPartner ⠀
⠀
🧡 PS. I listed the classes I'll be taking this week at #CPY on my Insta Stories! If you're new to the studio, head to the link in my bio to snag a FREE week and join me in class! 🧡
Running around like a headless chicken doesn’t mean I can’t look purrty while I’m at it. 🐣✨ Thank the glitter makeup gods (a.k.a @almay) for my stellar #ShadowSquad eyeshadows. 🙌🏽 Talking more about them on my IG Stories! #almay #cosmic #linkinbio
#AffirmationMonday: "I know my worth."⠀
⠀
This has taken me 27 years to internalize and accept, and it still feels like a work in process. How so? It's hard to get rid of old habits. ⠀
⠀
Friendsh*ts, relationsh*ts, people pleasing... Does any of this ring a bell? 🤔 As humans, we seek love, acceptance, and validation, but to what extent? ⠀
⠀
I can tell you, I grew tired of my negative self-talk + the people who fueled it. I turned inwards to find the answers I was seeking and began to rely more on my #intuition; I trusted myself. I blocked the noise, cut the extra fat, and acknowledged my worth by loving, accepting, and validating myself like no one else had ever been capable of. 🙏🏽 #affirmationoftheday #selfreflection #crowpose
Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, the sunshine in. ☀️🙌🏽 GUYS, dis the face I make when the weather is this freaking BEAUTIFUL! 😍 Seize the day my friends, love and light! #weekendvibes #letthesunshine
Doers, makers, and dream chasers, despite how long the road may seem, don't forget to acknowledge how far you've come; give yourself a solid pat on the back, ya'll are CRUSHING it. 🙌🏽 #keepgrinding ⠀

Lovers! 💕 Today's 'Bring a Beginner to Class Day' as part of my #200YTT with @CorePowerYoga. Words can't describe the excitement (and bit of nerves) to be able to share this incredible experience with the most amazing class of individuals. ⠀
⠀
We've been each others' backbones + soundboards all throughout, and I'm incredibly proud of each and every single one of them. Wish us luck! 🧘 #yogateachertraining #ouryogajourney | Wearing @wolventhreads
Witchy vibes. 🔮✨ Last week I did an intuitive crystal card reading to @alyssabrieloff, @investmintbaker, @the_linspo, and @5teffy and what came up left all these gals bewildered in the best possible way. ⠀
⠀
Gang, it may sound woo-woo but seriously, follow your intuition. Trust that gut feeling which tells you, "Hey—this is the right way." ⠀
⠀
Struggling to tune into it? Journal. Write everything down. Let the words + emotions flow, the rest will follow. #witchy
Let your branches grow. 🌳 In honor of Earth Day, @corepoweryoga will donate $1 to @earthdaynetwork for every IG post of yogis in tree pose + hashtag #yogisplantingtrees. This $1 contribution translates to 1 tree planted by the Earth Network’s Canopy Project. One photo = one tree planted. 🌎💕⠀
⠀
Movements like these are one of the many reasons I love social media and the power it has to propel positive change and actions. #EarthDay #CorePowerYoga #CPYPartner ⠀
