Happy new year!
2014 is gone forever so I thought it would be cool to take a look back at my 2014 goals/resolutions and see if I actually completed any of those goals and of course I am making new goals for the year 2015.
But first, let me tell you all about something I love doing even more than making new years resolutions. I write letters to myself.
I open up my diary and basically I just write about the things I've been through and where I'd like to see myself at the end of the next year. I share my deepest feelings and thoughts with that piece of paper and then I fold it up and tuck it in the back of my diary. I always make sure to write " OPEN: [INSERT DATE]" on the outside of the letter. It's an amazing way to reflect on your past year and your life in general.
2014 has been a good year. I have experienced sadness and anger at a few points during those 365 days but I feel like I came out on top and definitely progressed and learned from everything that fueled my anger and sadness.
[Here is a snippet of the goals I made to make my life more organized last year]:
- Become a better cook. I want to cook at least 4-5 days a week.
- I want every aspect of my new home organized.
- Devote more time and effort to blogging, designing.
- Devote more time to doing new,different, random things in life
I think I did an okay job of completing this list but only because I did not pick goals that were damn near impossible. So many people are quick to say "new year, new me" but it's much more realistic to try and build a FEW good habits. If I went by that "new year new me" saying I would fail every time.
- I do cook 4-6 times a week.
- Not every aspect of my home is organized but it's getting there. It has it's moments.
- I have not been blogging as much as I'd like to.
- I have learned more about web development but I could be a lot better than I am right now.
- I feel like I have not been as adventurous as I'd like.
For 2015 I just want to continue to build on what I tried to accomplish last year. I'd love to be able to build websites without sweating so much ;).. and it would be awesome to take my blog to a new level.
Thanks for rocking with me this year!
Happy new year shamiya.
ReplyDeleteI'll love to also be a better Cook too but unfortunately I doubt I have much time to cook 4 times a week. Lol
I think the letter stuff is same as keeping a journal right? That's one of the things I'll like to try this year too and I wrote about it on my blog uncase you'll like to read that

I hate when people say "new year, new me". Im just tryna be a BETTER me.
Setting realistic goals are super important. It's great to continue to build on them.
I'm a week late but Happy New Year girly!! Its great that you set realistic goals. So many people set these high expectations for the year and fall off after 2 weeks. Keep it up girl! I'm stealing your "letter to myself" idea!!
