Fresh Start

I haven't done a goal recap for a little while, and my goals have just flown out the window and disappeared. I can't quite seem to get them back so I decided just to have a fresh start for the last 7 months of this year!

So, here are my refreshed goals for the rest of 2015

• Go to bed earlier
• Spend less time online
• Walk Amos at night
• Tidy house daily
• Use planner daily
• Happiness planner
• Read daily
• Drink more tea
• Eat fruit
• Eat healthy meals at the right times
• Spend more time outside with Amos
• Put more effort into blog
• Concentrate on TAFE work
• Craft  as much as possible 
• Actually go on coffee date s with myself once a fortnight/month  

This may seem like a lot, but really all of these things are possible - I just have to have the motivation which is my main problem. I ended up purchasing the Happiness Planner and I am hoping to use it to help myself do all of these things. These things won't make my life perfect or make any problems go away, but they may help me be in a better state of mind to help me deal with the problems as they come and go.

I think it's important to reassess your goals and your situation as time goes by, I am not the same person I was in January of this year. 
Take care

March Goal Recap

I'm a bit late with this post this month, but here it is!

1. sleep better - Um. Really failing with this. My sleep is all over the place of late :-(
2. eat better and cook more - Cooking more, but my food choices are still...bad
3. focus on my blog - OK, sorry blog I haven't focused on you but I am feeling inspired now!
4. Start exercising more - Mega super fail
5. finish my course - Only 9 weeks left!!!
6. find volunteer work at a vet clinic and get into my vet nurse course - I am organising my resume and will start taking them to vet clinics soon!
   
7. go on regular coffee dates with myself - Boo! I didn't do this at all 
8. be more organised -Still my most succesful goal! I am so organised right now, I love it!
9. goodreads challenge - 24 books - I am still in a reading slump and I am 5 books behind schedule!
10.  Daily instax again! - still going well!

Oh well, hopefully April will be better (it's not shaping up to be haha). I'm not putting too much pressure on myself, that has the opposite affect with me!

 Yes I spent 15 minutes making this

How are you going with your 2015 goals?

February Goal Recap

1. sleep better - Definitely better on this. I had one night of insomnia but the rest were pretty good
2. eat better and cook more - Also did a lot better with this this month! And now I've lost around 8kgs!
3. focus on my blog - Hmm, a bit unfocused right now, but I still posted my regular content
4. Start exercising more -Yes! Small steps which is better than none
5. finish my course -I started back this month and I'm still enjoying it. I've also already started my assignments - shocking!
6. find volunteer work at a vet clinic and get into my vet nurse course - this cannot be even thought about until I finish my current course
   
7. go on regular coffee dates with myself - I didn't even go on one :-(
8. be more organised -Success! This is probably been my biggest success so far. The house has been so clean because I've been sticking to my housework schedule. My assignments are getting started. I've been writing lists and using my planner to keep track of what I need to do and what is coming up. Being organised is so amazing and it's making me happier
9. goodreads challenge - 24 books - I am in such a reading slump! I finished Yes Please FINALLY, but I am 2 books behind schedule!
10.  Daily instax again! - still going well!

All in all, I didn't do too badly but things could have been better!
How are you going with your 2015 goals?

January Goal Recap

OK, seriously. Where did January go? *looks under couch* - nope, it's not there! I feel like this month flew by faster than usual and my goals flew out the window! 

1. sleep better -  I think I did reasonably well with this, although I am really bad at getting up on time and I need to work on that a LOT!
2. eat better and cook more - eating better I failed at, but I did cook more and I have now removed nearly all of the junk food from this house and I will be buying dark chocolate for when I need something sweet - and I am cutting out soft drink and eating more fruit
3. focus on my blog - I think I did well with this! 17 blog posts this month and ideas brewing!
4. Start exercising more - wow, super fail! I have the best intentions to do better in February
5. finish my course - I re-enrolled for the next semester and start on Monday! 6 months to go!
6. find volunteer work at a vet clinic and get into my vet nurse course - this cannot be even thought about until I finish my current course
   
7. go on regular coffee dates with myself - I only went on one, which is better then none
8. be more organised - definitely accomplished this in January, I remembered birthdays, the house is clean, and I've cleaned out a few cupboards in the house and donated things that we no longer need - it feels so good 
9. goodreads challenge - 24 books - haha I am already one book behind schedule, need to finish Yes Please ASAP!
10.  Daily instax again! - so far so good!

Alright I am a little disappointed with how I went in January, but I am feeling really optimistic about February. I start back at TAFE and my volunteering, so that will bring a bit more structure back.

And because I forgot to take photos for this blog post, here's a photo of Violet's gigantic butt.

She needs a brush but attacks me when I try!
