For those who know me, know I am not only a vigilant goal setter but a stubborn go getter. Maybe it’s the only child mentality that I posses but always think I should get everything that I want, and when I want something, if it isn’t handed to me right away then I’m going to work as hard as I can to get it.
Many people don’t like to set New Years resolutions in fear that they will be let down when they fail to achieve their their “promise” they’ve made to fulfill something. Not that I am planning to “keep it safe” or just pick easy resolutions, but rather I want to set goals that I can work hard on to achieve. Here are my 5 New Years Goals for 2014:
Curse Less
Sadly I curse like a sailor and it’s hard to even control my swearing around younger family members. This year I vow to learn how to control my potty mouth.
Take more risks
I hate to gamble. I always make the safe decision. I rarely put myself out there in ways that are unpredictable. This year I really need to take risks, and do things that send me outside of my comfort zone. Who know’s what I could find when I’m not confined to my safe space?
Finish one of my books
Writing is by far one of my biggest passions at the moment. By the end of the year (or sooner), I would like to finish one of my books so I could share them others.
Lose that last 15lbs
This is a pretty personal goal but it comes as a result of past issues with eating and weight. Over the past 3 years I have changed so much mentally and physically, and I just hope I can continue to move toward an even healthier lifestyle.
Don’t give up on relationships
This year starts with a completely new stage in my life. I’ve just said goodbye to the life I’ve lived for 3.5 years and with that I said “goodbye” to many people who have made a remarkable impact on who I am. I think one of the hardest parts of when goodbye to everyone is just knowing how terrible I usually am with maintaining relationships, especially ones with people I don’t see regularly. My goal is do everything I can to not give up on the incredible relationships I’ve made in college no matter how far away I may be.
