Since I was
absolutely no state to be posting on social media on New Years Eve/ New Years
Day I will take this opportunity to say Happy New Year to everyone. 2017 wasn’t
my best year but it by far wasn’t my worst and for that I am truly grateful. I
want to take the opportunity also to say thank you to each and every person who
read this blog, commented, shared, liked and helped me to grow this blog a bit further
in 2017. Today’s post is a bit of a typical one, but I think its pretty
important to set yourself goals, not just at the start of each new year but
always. I find that setting myself goals and having something to work towards
gives me a little bit of a push and motivation. So for 2018 I’m setting myself some
more goals, attainable goals that I know I can work towards and achieve by the
end of the year. Here is a list of my goals, enjoy the read.
- Find time to read again.
I so often
find myself starting a book and never finishing it because stuff gets in the
way and you need to make priorities and more often than not I have to dump the
book less than halfway through. Currently I’m actually MORE than half way through
a book at the moment, yay for holidays! I want to keep this up, I want to read
at LEAST twelve books by the end of the year- that’s one a month, attainable
right?
I don’t
mean go back to school because God no. I’m going to continue to educate myself
on the world around me this year. I’m going to continue to use that education
to write blog posts about the things in the world that are truly important and
help other people to educate themselves.
Over the
past few months my anxiety has continued to increase and increase and this year
I will get a handle on it. I want to eliminate the things that give me the
worst anxiety, I want to work on fixing my ways of thinking that cause this
anxiety.
God I am
not a morning person at all, like at all. I am a night person, I would much
rather stay up late and get up late than go to sleep early and get up early.
BUT I am going to change that I am going to teach myself to get up in the
morning at an acceptable hour rather than say ten o’clock.
By the end
of the year I WILL do at least five pull ups without the assistance of a band.
I will continue to work on my fitness and yep five pull ups by the end of the
year, I got this.
I definitely
think that in 2017 I didn’t do enough of this, I put other things before my won
happiness and this year that’s going to stop. I’m going to put myself first and
foremost and be happier than I was this year.
I didn’t write
as much as I would have liked this year again due to priorities. So this year I’m
going to write more, I’m going to write whatever I want, whenever I want. I’m
not going to post what I think other people want to read, I am going to write
what I want too.
Brodie and I
have the worst habit of spending too much money all at once, we’ll save for a
while and then a big weekend with happen or whatever and money blown. This year
we are going to save money, whether Brodie likes it or not (he is not going to
like it.)
That means
no beating myself up when I miss a day of exercise. It means not judging myself
by the numbers on the scale. This means not being mad at myself for my mental
health. I am going to be kinder to myself.
We are all
very aware that I am an extremely introverted person, well duh. This year I’m
going to do things that make me leave my comfort zone. I want to be a person
who lives without harrowing fears, and I will be.
Well here
it is, ten attainable goals that I have set for 2018, what are your goals?
