Do more of what you love
After speaking with a few people I’m close to, they’ve expressed their disinterest in the ‘New Year Resolutions’, predicting failure or it’s too much to consider right now. I’ve not really been one to make a goal or give anything up, only to come up with something that is fail proof.
Last year my plan was to put more effort into my organisation, I could look back on the year and feel I’d improved on the year before, even it was a small improvement. I picked up the bullet journal method and already I was a tonne more productive than I’d been previously, success!
This year I’m concentrating on my personal well being, there’s a lot more things I’d like to concentrate on to feel happier and healthier, but keeping it small so I’m not overwhelmed if I don’t complete the task. it’s a positive goal too so I’m less likely to shy away from it, I want to do more of what makes me happy by doing more of what I love.
Hobbies
I’m one of those, start projects to then get distracted and begin another, I’d like to complete one of my craft projects before starting the next. The same with books, my list of books to read is piling high, as I get so lured in by a new book then another and another and so on… my new favourite genre is self help but not quit the conventional ones, more to do with finance, work and mindfulness. However I would like to get back into the world of novels and finish those darn Game of Thrones books. I would love to reach my reading goal by the end of the year for once!
Fitness
I’ve noticed a change in my weight which has gotten me down a fair bit this last year or so, it’s a tough subject to discuss so all I’ll say is, I’m not happy with the way I see myself and want to make a change. Now at a desk job for the past 4 years and not doing P.E every week I’ve forgotten I need to exercise, but diets don’t appeal to me and I’m happy with what I’m eating, so getting toned and fit is the answer for me! Currently eyeing up the Joe Wicks HIIT routines and will see how that progresses, as well as a good old fitness tracker on my wrist which will help show my movement throughout the day and what to improve on.
Organisation
Improving my schedule skills and keeping up with habits, I need to keep my home environment up to scratch regularly as my mood is completely reflected in the state of my home. I’d like my plants to have more life in them and less dust about the place. Making time for chores weekly is something I need to get better at.
Driving
Lastly my main goal for the year is to finish learning to drive, I hope to be in a better place financially to afford to drive but the first part to tick off is to go back to my lessons and get those dang tests completed. I would really love that freedom and quit leeching lifts off others, I thank thee gratefully.
Try not to put so much pressure or expectations on yourself, do what makes you happy. The little things are the best bits.
Happy new year x
