Another new year has begun, everyone is making resolutions, setting goals and making changes- #newyearnewme and all that jazz.
I have tried to do resolutions in previous years and most have fallen through (including my goals that I posted on here last year) so instead of trying to make any humungous life altering changes this year I have instead made a list of things I would like to have achieved by the end of 2019 and some goals for my future in general. There are things that I need to alter to help them happen but these are mostly small changes that will then have a larger ripple effect.
My goals for 2019:
1- Spend more time on my projects
- I haven’t uploaded anything onto my YouTube channel in several years, I plan to change this asap
- I want to improve and eventually monetise this blog and my social media accounts
- I need to manage my time, set aside specific evenings to focus on each project and give each the attention they need
2- Earn and save more money–> Become debt free within 5-10 years
[The more I earn and save the more debts I can pay off- I could go on holiday/s, go to gigs, move house, maybe even become a home owner in the next few years!]
- Monetise this blog and eventually my YouTube channel too
- Get more involved in blogging groups and endorsement prospects
Make more through my side projects- I have been looking at changing jobs to earn more as well
3- Learn new skills
Learn to drive(passed my test 07.01.19)- Improve singing and learn new vocal techniques
Gain more knowledge about marketing and events- Learn photography and photo editing
- Experiment with various make up styles
4- Live healthier and happier
[This is a big one for me- 2018 consisted of a lot of stress, anxiety, negativity and bad habits, this year that needs to change]
- Eating healthier and being more active = better skin, better hair, more energy and endorphins (think Legally Blonde)
- Do more things that make me happy, set aside time every day to do something for me, increase self care-
use my 365 day journal - Get back into Musical Theatre by joining a local group
- Use the 5 min rule (if it takes less than 5 mins do it NOW)= feeling more productive, will be able to tick more things off my to do lists

5- Be kinder to the environment
- Reduce my use of plastics: swap to bamboo toothbrushes,
metal straws, take my reusable bags everywhere and use my water bottle/thermos flask more - Cut down on meat and dairy
Minimise waste of water, electricity and food- Recycle as much as possible (although my street doesn’t recycle much I plan to find somewhere close where I can recycle more than just glass bottles, cans and paper/card)
I don’t want to over load myself with countless goals as I will then become overwhelmed and not do any of them… 5 goals for 2019 which will have a positive impact on the grander scheme of things in the further future too, I think that’s a good start.
Until next time, TTFN.
