Goals

Here are my 16 goals for 2016.

I know its October, well its pretty much November now but these are my goals and I have every intention of getting a head start on completing these goals.

I know they say the way you are most likely to stick to new years resolutions is by choosing 3. But these are resolutions, they are life changes and goals I want to make happen in 2016, many of which i have already started working towards.

These are goals I believable are reachable. Of course I would love to have a full time job, doing something I love. Have my own place and get a dog, but I'm 19 very nearly 20 (so old) so these are the sort of thing I would be more likely to put in a '5 years time' goals.

So here they are:

 1. Consistently workout to further improve fitness level, health and body. - I love exercise and working out. I am already very good at sticking to a routine and working out. I am currently using Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Guide and so far i love even tho its really hard.

2. Eat 100% vegan and 90% clean, allowing yourself treats once a week. - Over the past 2 weeks i have transitioned to vegan and as of November 1st I am 100% vegan. I want to make sure i stick properly to an eating plan as i have a lot of difficult with eating.

3. Maintain a proper skincare routine. - I have always dabbled here and there with skincare. I have awful skin, or atlas to me i think its awful. I'm a teenager so what do you expected, I get spots, so I want to really focus maintaining proper skincare to give myself a fighting chance at having clear skin.

4. No Boys. - Okay I don't mean not speaking to boys, i just want to shift my attention from trying to find the one, or have a relationship and focus more on me and my future, atlas for the first 6 months of 2016. Lets all hope that when I stop looking I'll find the one eh? ;)

 5. Save £500 minimum per month. - I am very good a saving, but I am also very good at spending. I go through phases with saving, ill be really god for a couple of months, but then something will have I will buy one thing and then it appears I buy the entire world. I know £500 seems like a lot but this means I will consistently have to pick up shift at work or make me really push to find a new one.

6. Do not buy anything you don't need. - I think this is quite self explanatory. I just don't want to spend excess money.

7. Consistently clear out my room selling or donating things I no longer need. - Again this is quite self explanatory. I just want to live with as few possessions as possible i don't want excess clutter because I hate it mess and clutter. I am very OCD.

8. Plan everything out on a Saturday night for the up coming week. - Like most people my age I spend a lot of time on my computer. Most of this is wasted time. I want to make sure I have everything planned in so I am pro active and am not wasting time. Because i love being productive but one of my main talents is procrastinating. :L

9. Consistently blog. - I have written and blogged here and there for a couple of years. But I have either forgotten about it or gotten scared. I am not going to be scared anymore, this is for me to express myself because thats what I need. I can't trust many people but my blog isn't going to leave me so i can just get all my thoughts out here.

10. Get back into photography. - Since I was young I have loved photography. I did it as a GCSE, and then for 2 years at collage. But by the time i finished my course, I then hated it because I wasn't expressing myself i was working to briefs. I have hardly touched a proper camera or taken a real photo in about 3 years. I want to get back in to it and hopefully blogging will help this too.

11. Learn a new skill/hobby. - I really want to dance. I danced when I was young so this wouldn't technically be a NEW skill but i want to get back into a hobby.

12. Start my own card business on Etsy. - I love drawing. I have so many drawings in sketch books that nobody is getting to see. I always make birthday cards for friends and family and everyone always tells me how sellable my art is, so I thought why not try it out... what have I got to lose? It give me something to focus on.

13. Focus on recovery. - I have suffered with an eating disorder for almost 12 years. And although I'm better than i have been in a long time, i am still not mentally recovered. I want to work on improving this instead of just accepting maybe this is how it will always be.

14. Focus on the positive side instead of the negative even if you don't believe it at first. - Another simple one.

15. Plan things with friends more often. - I am very good a moaning I'm lonely, that i miss my friends and that i have no friends. So i what to properly make an effort to see friends outside of work, make time for them and not just catch up in passing.

16. Take chances and risks. Say YES. - As previously mentioned I have an Eating Disorder. Along with that i have a lot of other mental health issues. So I want to stop saying no out of fear and start saying yes to doing things even if they are out my comfort zones.

Do you have any goals for 2016?

Sending love your way
