What if we could hold onto some of the best aspects of vacation all year long? After our trip to Maui, I noticed some changes in myself that I wanted to bring into my every day… and here are the six things that I came up with.

I have tried so many different goal-setting processes over the years, the combination of my achiever/perfectionist tendencies, big life vision and solid work ethic can really get me in the weeds sometimes.
