Happy New Year! Can you believe it’s 2012? I certainly can’t – the past year has just flown by and, although it was an incredibly full and exciting year I’m determined to do my part to make this one even better. I really hate the term ‘New Year’s Resolution’. If I make a resolution, I’m pretty likely to fail. Am I the only one who has a weird mental block when it comes to ‘resolutions’? However, if I set myself goals, I’m much more determined to reach them, which is why I have made a list of goals that I’m hoping to tick off one by one before the end of 2012. To increase my chances by 10% of accomplishing these goals (check out what Wikipedia has to say here - under ‘Success Rate’), I’m going to share a few of my goals with you. This way, if I am not achieving them you can send me emails mid-year telling me to get my butt in gear!
So here goes:
- Try as many recipes & DIY ideas as possible from my ‘DIY to-do list‘ and ‘Fabulous Food‘ boards on Pinterest (I still have invitations left so email me if you’d like one).
- Finish the first draft of my book.
- Run a half-marathon in under two hours (I know, I know, I swore I’d never run one again!!)
- Visit 5 new countries (including Egypt and Jordan)
- Blog four times per week
- Continue reading one book a month (this is one of the goals I achieved in 2011)
So there you have it! My 2012 goals…what do you hope to achieve this year?
