1. Write more - I've been so busy since finishing Uni that I've barely had time to take time out and study / write. That's why I started this blog so at least if I write ANYTHING I'd still be writing something. 2011 is going to be a more career driven year and I'm going to make sure that I get lots more learning squeezed in. I miss having lessons at Uni because I love to learn, and we used to get loads of great book recommendations from our tutors. This leads nice onto my second resolution which is to...
2. Read more - Whilst at Uni I only had time to read the books which were on all of my reading lists and whilst I did enjoy most of them, I didn't have time to read the ones which were already on my 'to read' list. So last week I ordered a load of classics as well as some books off my very long 'to read' list and this year I'm going to get cracking. Less TV, more books!
3. Be more positive about my work - I am my own worst critic when it comes to my work and ideas for new pieces, and I notice the flaws a lot more than the good parts. So this year I'm going to focus more on the good and expand on that rather than dwelling on the odd word that doesn't fit.
4. Care less about what other people think - This pretty much speaks for itself. I worry a lot about insignificant things and think up scenarios in my head that would never happen in real life and generally work myself up into a panic about what other people might think, whether it's my work, relationships, new outfit or haircut. So this year I'm going to concentrate on what's good and care less about other people's opinions!
5. Be more healthy! I make this one every year and it always wears off by the end of January, but this year is going to be a good year for me so I'm going to get it off to a good start. I'm going to make a concious effort to eat more healthily (especially fruit) and cut back on naughty things. Luckily I'm not really a fan of crisps so that's not a problem but I am partial to biscuits and a dominos pizza now and again. It's bad to deprive yourself completely of treats but I am going to cut back because I want to be back to my old self, inside and out.
What are your resolutions for 2011? xo
Lets see how long the fruit and healthy eating one lasts this time then honey!! If I remember correctly it was I'm going to eat a piece of fruit every day next year from Jan 1st 2010. GOOD LUCK WITH THIS YEAR'S ATTEMPT SWEETIE.
ReplyDeleteI have already told you that my resolution is to save the money I would have wasted on lotto/euro lotto and put it into our Berlin trip fund!
This week I have been truly grateful that Dad is back from Australia to make our yummy meals again.
Much love Mum xx
