My 2024 Integrity Report
Today I am publishing my first Integrity Report, which is what pushed me to create this blog and what I am hoping to grow. My hope is this will be a yearly practice and outline my values for that year and my push to inspire others.
The three questions I’m going to answer in this report are below
What are the core values that drive my life?
How am I living and working with integrity right now?
How can I set a higher standard and lead with more integrity in the future?

How Am I Living With Integrity Now?
Being Truthful. Over the past year, I have made a huge effort to stop people pleasing and truthful in every situation. I take time to think before I commit to something and review my motivation. Now when I commit to helping someone or attending something, you can count on me to show up and be in a positive mindset.
Stop Acting Like A Victim. I try to think of the hardships I’ve gone through with gratitude and not something that has happened to me. I no longer talk bad about people behind their back and am focused on taking action instead of ruminating. I’ve stopped hanging out with a lot of people who have a victim mindset to free up space for more positive thoughts.
Removing People From My Life. In the past 2 years, I have gotten very clear on what I want out of my relationships. This has caused massive shifts in my friends and family. I used to think I had an obligation to people and I have changed that mindset. Now everyone I keep close is somebody I want there.
How Can I Set A Higher Standard In the Future?
Communicating My Thoughts and Feelings. I don’t communicate well when something is bothering me. Instead of listening to myself and noticing something is wrong I try to suppress it and “let it go”. I’m realizing meditating and wellness isn't enough and I need to face the issues I am having with people. By not addressing it, I become resentful and create a bigger issue.
Setting Realistic Commitments and Taking Action. At least once a week I set an alarm to go to a 6 am workout class and I push snooze or turn it off and don’t go. This year, I want to me more realistic with the commitment I set and actually take action on them. If I’m going to decide to go to a 6am workout class then I need to go. The same with this blog. I’m going to commit to 1 article a week. That is an obtainable commitment and I need to action on it weekly.
Start to Share My Story. There are a variety of ways I can share my story, who I am, what I have gone through and use it to help motivate others, but I am not. This is what I want to do, but I’m choosing to not focus on it. I’m avoiding starting ANYWHERE and coming up with a new excuse every time. In the next year, I want to get my voice out there and be able to help others who have been stuck and down. Hence this blog.
Thank you for reading and apart of this journey with me.
