My 2020 Resolutions

As the end of the year is coming up, I find myself thinking of what I want to change about my life in the new year. I do this every year, but not to this extent. I never tell anyone so they don’t hold me accountable for my actions. I think small scale most times and pick things I know I will do. Not having a job has given more time to think about what I want to do, as well as realize how much I use excuses to not do things I want to do. 2020 will be my year.

Without further ado, here are my goals for the year:

  1. Write more. I would love to get my book done this year, but that will only happen if I work harder on it. If I only write three days a week, that’s more than I do now. Writing is the one thing I have always loved, yet its what I always put on the back burner. Maybe if all things go well, I’ll be close to being published by the end of the year. It’s a big goal, but I know it’s one I can accomplish if I try hard enough.
  2. Get healthier. Every year I want to workout more or lose weight. It never lasts long though. I get back into my habits and don’t do as much as I should. I really want to start eating better, something I never really work at but is essential to getting healthier. I’m a picky eater and that has its challenges, but I really want to try new foods and incorporate things I love to eat into eat. I don’t want to diet, I’ll quit that as soon as I start it. I want more of a lifestyle change. Something that I continue for the rest of my life.
  3. Be more social. I’ve always been the shy, reserved girl. The one perfectly happy sitting back and watching others take chances. I’m hoping to change that some this year. I want to be more confident and not feel afraid to take chances. Even if it’s just talking to a stranger, it’ll be better than being quiet.
  4. Keep in touch more. Since I don’t see my friends as much, I don’t really talk to them all that much either. I’ve kind of isolated myself and I want to change that. Even if I can’t see them all the time, I at least want to check up every so often.
  5. Make money and save it. I haven’t been making much money doing the odd job here and there and it’s really taking a toll on my bank account. I still have a lot of bills to pay off and actually getting to make some has helped but it’s still not enough. I have made some selling clothes through ThredUp, but now I have to wait for the PayPal check. I’ve really cut my spending down, but I still feel like I need to cut back even more. At least until I get back to about the balance I had before.
  6. Have more me time. I never really take time for myself anymore and it does take its toll. I’ve been really stressed out lately and I know just sitting back and relaxing would help. I just haven’t made the time yet.

Those are some of my goals for 2020. Some of them are huge, I admit that, but they’re worth it. I’m hoping I stick with them. If you have any big New Year’s Resolutions, let me know what they are. Thank you so much for reading. Have a Happy New Year!
