HAPPY NEW YEAR…
Hope you had a lovely Christmas and new year, what did you get up to?
Now I know a lot of people don’t actually enjoy new year, but for me, I find it quite exciting. Its a chance to start a fresh, set some new goals and try to better myself. Now I know what you are thinking…You don’t have to wait for new year to do any of those things!
And you are right but it just feels like a good time for me to start a fresh.
So every new year I like to try and set myself some goals, something to focus on and try to achieve, maybe a new direction and I thought that I would share them here. One, so that I might achieve them more if they are written down here and two, it might help motivate someone else.
I have tried to set some in all aspects of my life, work, home, me etc.
So here are my 2019 goals…
- To have more structure to my day.
Now what I mean by this is, is to have set times for working and other times for cooking and spending with my family. Otherwise I find myself working and looking at my phone most of the time and not having proper quality time my my children. - To write at least 4 blog posts a month
Notice I said at least, so the minimum, that way I can write more but if I only manage 1 a week then that’s good for me. - Launch my craft business properly
I sort of started this end of last year but I want to launch it properly as a business and not just something on the side. - Be more organised!
I want to plan and be more organised with my Blog, YouTube, Instagram and meal planning. I have notepads ready and have started jotting down some ideas for different months of the year. I am also going to start a bullet journal, to plan ahead and also record things that I done too. - Hit 5K followers on Instagram
I plan to put more work into my Instagram account and to plan posts rather than just posting whatever haha! - Have 500 Subscribers on YouTube
As part of my, being more organised. I am going to have a two day a week upload schedule and plan in advance what videos I will film.
- Make more time for family and friends
This one doesn’t need much explaining, but hopefully if i’m more organised this will free up more time for this. - Do more self care
I wrote a little post about self care ideas here - DRINK MORE WATER!!!
I think I say this every…single…year, but we got new metal water bottle for Christmas, so we will be putting them to good use! - Eat less sugar
Sugar is evil FULLSTOP - Complete Couch to 5K
I started this around about summer last year, but then got distracted (not sure what by!) and stopped, so will need to start again. But again if I am more organised, hopefully this should free up some time to do this too. - Spend more quality time with my children
We love playing board games together and computer games. I have one daughter that loves beauty and make-up, so I will be doing more of that with her and my other daughter loves art, scrap-booking and journalling so I will do more of that with her and my son has just started a new acting job, where he will be on tour again, so will be away a lot, but I like to visit him at the venues that aren’t too far away and go for lunch with him.
They are my goals that I want to achieve for 2019, if you have set any goals for the year, I would love to know what they are.
