Well it is official; we are one week in to the year 2018. Where
is the time going eh? Last year I wrote my goals for 2017 and I thought firstly
I would review which goals I achieved and which goals I did not. In last years
post, I created eight goals for myself. I achieved 4/8 which isn’t awful, but
it isn’t great either. So, this year I aim too make more achievable goals and plan
to achieve these goals. After all, Antoine de
Saint-Exupéry said ‘a goal without a plan is just a wish’. This
time I want to achieve all my goals this year.
Here are my 8 goals for this year;
- To see more of the
world- Sadly, I don’t have much money to go travelling the world. However, I
plan to go to a country this year that I haven’t been too. Whether that is Greece,
Italy or Germany. All I need to do is convince one friend to go with me and then
plan it from there, shouldn’t be too hard right?
- Stop Neglecting my Blog – It’s been 3 months since my last
post! I keep using life distractions as an excuse to not post on my blog but
that is silly as I enjoy posting. However, the last 6 months I lost all enjoyment
in everything that I loved. This needs to stop.
- Start saying ‘yes’ too more things – Over the past year, I’ve
become more introverted and would rather spend 99% of my time in my bedroom
watching Netflix than going out socialising and experiencing things; this has
become unhealthy and I need to start being more willing to try new things
- To book my theory test – for over a year I have been saying
that I need to learn how to drive, yet I can’t take the leap. Nevertheless, a
small goal will motivate me to eventually learn how to drive.
- To go to the gym more – I love going to the gym to de- stress
(sadly I like chocolate too much for it to show). Due to my work life, I never
ever stick to a routine when it comes to the gym and sometimes go two weeks
without going. Which is a shame, considering I enjoy it so much. So, my goal is
to go at least 3 times a week minimum.
- To smile more – They say that smiling is contagious and can
make you feel more positive. It seems to simple yet so effective!
- To cook more – For anyone who knew me a year ago, can tell
you that I can hardly cook. However, throughout the year I slowly learnt how to
cook new meals. But I am a lazy person and I will end up buying take out just,
so I do not have to cook. For Christmas, my nan bought me a slow cooker and I
have every intention that I will use it!
- To start my masters and read the recommended reading before
the semester starts – If you are on my Instagram, you would have seen that I
was accepted on a Masters course which is due to start in September this year.
After being a year out of education, I cannot wait to go back to it! Nevertheless,
my organisation skills have never been the best, but I aim to be better.
What are you’re goals for 2018? Maybe you’ll inspire me xo
