Happy New Year: Digital Storyteller’s Attempt at Resolutions

Not sure about you but we’re still in awe that 2020 is finally coming to an end. TGOD, am I right? With all of the challenges and struggles that 2020 held for most of it, 2021 is the ultimate opportunity to start fresh.

If you’re anything like us we’re used to an annual week-long juice cleanse the first week of January and then returning to our lives as normal. But we’re vowing for 2021 to be different! Time to turn a fresh leaf and start anew!

If you’re having trouble deciding what positive changes to make in your life as we begin this new year, check out our goals for some inspiration! (Maybe putting it in writing on the internet will help keep us accountable too? We’ll see …)

Amanda Rogers:

I don’t have New Year’s Resolutions. I try every day to be better, why wait to be hungover to get started?

If I were to identify some changes I’d like to make (now… not on January 1st), I’ll resolve to take better care of my body – run at least once a week and ride the @Peloton at least twice a week. To spend more time with my dad BEFORE he drinks his 5:00 bourbon. To find more cool stuff to do with the kids. And, most importantly, to pay careful attention to Andrew because he’s a rock star of a husband. Oh! And to put my hours in Teamwork.

Andrew Marr:

Like Amanda, I don’t really do New Year’s Resolutions, I think it’s because they’ve never worked for me in the past. I do however want to continue some habits I adopted in 2020 – walking the golf course and eating fruits and veggies Monday to Friday. Weekends are not fruit and vegetable appropriate in our house 🙂 Reading is something I like to do and would like to do more of, so maybe I set a goal to read/ listen to a book a month for 2021. And again, no vegetables on weekends.

Jackie Berens:

In 2021, my goal is to release my attachment to the things I cannot control. In doing that, I plan to meditate every day, get outdoors every day, and move my body every day.

Also, log my hours in Teamwork @andrew.

Caroline LoPresti:

In 2021 my New Year’s resolution is to live a healthier lifestyle, physically and mentally. After spending 2020 in the South, eating light salads was not the way to go. Therefore I’ve got a southern 15 to lose over here! Aside from that, I plan to settle in my new home and work on spending more time in the moment rather than thinking about what the future holds. You really never know what is in store, so why not think about what we can control vs what we can’t control. Cheers to a sparkling new year!

Devin Aubert:

In 2021 my goal is to commit to a healthier lifestyle, both physically and mentally. My physical health journey began late in 2020 but my resolution is to stay strong and continue it through this new year. To me, my health is more than just eating healthier to lose weight but also to improve daily function, sleep, and mood.

Mentally I am committing to a new year of positivity, motivation, and pride. 2020 was a challenging year for most of us. Needless to say, I’m hoping to regain some semblance of a social life in 2021 … We’ll see if I even still remember how to order a drink at a bar.

Magdi Cook:

My 2021 New Years’ resolution is to focus on myself and doing things that make me feel happy and healthy both mentally and physically. I want to commit to doing some sort of exercise every day, whether that be going for a long walk, taking a yoga class, and/ or dancing in my living room to Fergalicious blasting on full volume! I also want to incorporate doing a ten-minute daily meditation and keeping a gratitude journal where I can jot down the things I am grateful for on a daily basis.

Whether new years resolutions are your thing or not, we’re making the commitment to ourselves and to you to keep doing our best for all of you. We each have individual focuses but what it all boils down to is working our tails off for each of our clients. Mark Twain knew what he was saying when he suggested to “find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” At Digital Storyteller we like to work hard and play hard. We’re looking forward to ringing in the new year having some fun as a team and crushing it for our clients.
