Winter Goals
05/12/2017
I’ve just realised that I have never before set myself any goals; actually that’s a lie, when I was at college we were told to set ourselves goals all the time. I’m not very good at being positive, especially when it comes to myself and my own achievements so this was always a difficult task for me. Fast forward to now and I think I would really benefit from having some goals to aim for; so without me rambling on anymore let’s get straight in;
Feel happy and confident in
my own skin;
This time next year I would like to feel
more comfortable wearing the items of clothing that I avoid now because my
stomach might look big or my back is too wide, I want to go to the gym and not
feel so out of shape. My gym routine has definitely taken a dip recently, I haven’t
managed to get there due to a number of different reason (the main one been the
fact I am simple just way to lazy) but I want to break this habit and get
myself there again because I truly feel 100% better when I actually go! My overall
aim is not to be really skinny because my body is just not built for that, I
stand at around about 5ft 7 with a general clothing size of a 10. Ideally in 6 months’
time I I want to be back at my body’s ‘happy weight’ and I definitely want to
improve my overall fitness level. (My main fitness goal is to eventually be
able to do a pull up... because my current attempt is embarrassing, but I
reckon that will take me longer then 6 months’) – I’ll keep you informed!
Become more financially savvy;
My financial situation is quite literally a
joke! During uni I made the mistake of just spending all of my loans at once, I
literally saved nothing and therefore I now have nothing. With that in mind I
have decided at the grand ole age of 22 I should probably actually think about
saving some money yknow for that future that is speeding towards me like a run
away train. With this comes the inevitable, I need to spend less money on
clothes.... Not sure how this is going to pan out but I am willing to give it a
try, wish me luck, imma need it.
Live more;
If you know me on a personal level you will
know that I am old beyond my years, which is both a blessing and curse. I
recently finished at the University of Hull and received a BA in Social Work, I
know I know, miles away from the fashion blogger persona I have on Instagram. Through
doing the degree I did I was able to learn tones of things that will in turn
enable me to be a better person and it truly opened my eyes to the world and
what goes on within it, but at 22, Social Work is a job like no other and I
take my hat off to all the Social Workers and the individuals working within
the Health and Social Care sector because I simply am not ready for that. Since
the age of 3 I have been in education, the whole of my life has been spent
learning and developing and aiming for a future career, however now I am here I
have decided that what I studied in isn’t 100% what I want to work in right
this second. I need some more life experience; I need to be a typical 20
something gal for a few years and do all the things I never did because I was
stuck in Uni. The young generation of today are almost forced to grow up, from
the minute we are able to talk we are asked what we want to be when we are
older, how about you take some time to figure out what you want to be now? And
the rest will eventually fall into place.
Travel;
My last goal leads me on nicely to this
goal, I want to see the world. As cheesy as that statement is, it is also true.
Despite loving Hull because it is the city I was born in and the city my heart inevitably
belongs too, I have always wanted to get out and experience something
different. My goal for the next 6 months is to plan some trips with Dominic and
make a tonne of memories! You only live once and all that jazz.
Do you have any goals you’ve been putting
off? Maybe its about time you got to them!
