Hello My Lovelies!
Happy New Year! The 1st January 2014 is here and I think its apt to look back on 2013 and make goals for the coming 365 days.
Now, I have never made New Years Resolutions before because I know that it's just a waste of time and that I won't stick to them so I never bother. But that's not a great attitude to have so I think it's about time I got my ass into gear.
These New Years Resolutions are personal to me, but behind them are some good values that I think we could all do with thinking about in the new year.
ONE
My first New Years Resolution is to experience the outdoors. Now that doesn't mean that I'm going to start sailing down the Amazon or jumping out of a plane (though however I'd love to do those things but I think I shall save those for another list!) but I feel that I spend too much time indoors and although I do love snuggling on my sofa with a hot chocolate I do love being outside. So want to make sure I go for more walks. Preferably at sunset; who doesn't love dusk? Plus I could burn of some calories!
Some summer walks with my little cousins. I'm pushing Edward in a wheelbarrow while Bee is carrying our picnic blanket.
TWO
And that brings me to my second. I am not happy with my body. Now I know that everyone has faults about themselves that they don't like, but its been recently been getting me down. And problems don't fix themselves. Therefore, I want to spent more time at the gym.
THREE
I feel that because I've had a lot of things going on I'm my life recently, I've let family time slip, especially with my little brother. So I'm making it my 3rd New Years Resolution to make more time for him and take him out places he wants to go.
FOUR
This year I really want to start managing my money well. I never fritter it away but I am rubbish at saving. I want to save for some new furniture and bits and bobs to decorate my home. Also, it would be nice to have a little saved to treat myself now and again!
FIVE
Be more positive! I worry a lot and worrying really gets you nowhere. I want to wake up and instead of thinking "Eugh, what tasks have I got to face today?" I want to find positives in things I'm not keen on and think "Just a couple of things and then I'm free to do what I wish!".
SIX
Take more photo's. I think preserving those special memories with a photograph is so important. I fear that I'll forget things so I may have to carry my camera around with me religiously!
So there you have it! My 2014 New Years Resolutions! I'd love to know what yours are!
I wish you all the very best for the coming year and I hope my blog continues to grow and find its little niche in the blogging world!
All My Love
Sophie
